The image display is an Important component of PACS and of medical digital imaging chain. Displayed image qualify is affected by the physical characteristics of display device, appropriate clinical settings and calibrations, and ambient lighting conditions. The performance of display systems is continuously degraded over time due to luminance deterioration and changes of clinical setting parameters. A routine QC is recommended because the performance of display systems is continuously degraded over time. Ten flat panel monochrome LCD display devices were included in the evaluation of the QC effect. The effect of QC on primary class LCD medical display devices for selected QC tests was evaluated by comparing the performances, luminance response, luminance dependencies, display resolution and display chromaticity in this study, of before and after the calibration procedures. The effects of the QC are significant to luminance response and luminance spatial dependencies test and the other side, are slight to the display resolution and display chromaticity test. A routine QC of display device is essential for the consistency of medical image display and presentation. The study of the QC effects of display devices will play an important role in practical QC procedures of display devices.

This study deals with the policy proposals focusing on the addiction for the rapidly growing social media service (SNS) and its diagnosis. Researcher intends to define the SNS addiction and develops a diagnostic measure, which is a valuable subject. The reason is why the SNS becomes more convenient with prevalence of smart phones and the SNS addiction becomes enough severe to suggest internet addiction policy. Researcher presents the subjects into three parts. Firstly, the SNS addiction variables are derived and validated. Secondly, the path model between the SNS addiction variables is verified and discussed. Thirdly, researcher proposes the diagnostic results and the group comparison. Therefore, the result of this study is that the SNS addiction can be measured by the four elements, which are the failure in stopping the use of the SNS, time tolerance, living disability, withdrawal and anxiety. Researcher verifies the sequential impact of each variable and figures out the SNS addict through the presentation of a realistic measurement for the addiction index and the determination of the level of the addiction. By the above result, the researcher proposes the public relations of the government policy for the sound usage of the SNS and the self management of user. Finally, various proposed in this study will help to prevent juvenile crime, social problems in the future.

Esthetic restoration of maxillary anterior implant heavily depends on the direction of installation of implant fixture. In patients with malpositioned implant, it is crucial to communicate the limitations of prosthetic outcome with the patient before starting on a restoration. To facilitate the communication, three-dimensional virtual representation by superimposing facial and intraoral digital scans with Computed Tomography (CT, dicom file) was used for visualization of the limitations of prosthesis. Through digital diagnostic wax-up, the profile of right maxillary anterior incisor implant was expected to be protrusive, which the patient was not satisfied with. Since the patient already had done root canal treatment on left maxillary anterior incisor due to previous trauma, a new prosthetic design including both right and left maxillary anterior incisors was presented to the patient. The second design was chosen and his comments were delivered to dental lab. The patient was satisfied with the new prosthesis, aesthetically and functionally.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of women cancer death in Korea. The key for reducing disease mortality is early detection. Although digital mammography (DM) has been credited as one of the major reasons for the early detection to decrease in breast cancer mortality observed in the last 20 years, DM is far from perfect for several limitations. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is expected to overcome some inherent limitations of conventional mammography caused by overlapping of normal tissue and pathological tissue during the standard 2D projections for the improved lesion margin visibility and early breast cancer detection. In this study, we compared a DM system and DBT system acquired with different thickness of breast phantom. We acquired breast phantom data with same average glandular dose (AGD) from 1 mGy to 4 mGy under same experimental condition. The contrast, micro-calcification measurement accuracy and observer study were conducted with breast phantom images. As a result, the higher accuracy of lesion detection with DBT system compared to DM system was demonstrated in this study. Furthermore, the pain of patients caused by severe compression can be reduced with DBT system. In conclusion, the results indicated that DBT system play an important role in breast cancer detection.

Recently, Digital Watermarking is used to authenticate data and to determine whether the data are distorted or not in medical images which is digitalized. The Fourier Mellin method using the Fourier Transform and the Log-Polar coordinate transform gets an invariant feature for RST distortion in images. But there are several problems in the real materialization. Interpolation of the image value should be considered according to the pixel position and so a watermark loss, original image distortion, numerical approximation is happened. Therefore there should be solved to realization of the Fourier Mellin method. Using the Look up table, there reduce the data loss caused by the conversion between Rectangular and Polar coordinate. After diagnose, medical images are transformed the Polar coordinate and taken the Discrete Fourier transform in the center of ROI region. Maintaining the symmetry in Fourier magnitude coefficient, the gaussian distributed random vectors and binary images are embedded in medical images.

As size of waveform is very small, ECG(electrocardiogram) signal is difficult to analyze for noise which is occurred when it measures. In order to obtain ECG clearly, it must eliminate that power line interference, baseline wandering, noise of muscle constriction. In ECG, the worst problem which is recorded signal of ECG is the baseline wandering elimination, which is occurred by rhythm of respiration and muscle constriction of part from attaching to an electrode. Such the baseline is roughly irregular wandering and shaking up and down therefore the part of the baseline wandering elimination is very important because it is difficulty of ECG diagnosis. In this study, as implementation of real-time signal processing digital filter it is applicable to analyze patient's heart disease by way of design of the baseline wandering elimination system.
