The conditions after exposure to digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis were analyzed. The examinations for the ACR phantom were done using manual exposure, not auto exposure, to examine image discrimination and patient dose. As a result, the following results were derived: In the CC exposure, the kVp was 2kVp higher while mAs decreased to 58.6% for the 3D tomography. Such result showed an approximate decrease of 60mAs. At that time, the patients' Average Glandular Dose (AGD) was 1.65mGy in 2D and 1.87mGy in 3D; thus, AGD of 3D was shown to have about 1.13times higher. The result of the manual exposure revealed a reduced mAs of up to 80%; there was no effect in the assessment standard in terms of image discrimination, resulting in more than 10 points. When mAs was reduced to 80% in the manual exposure for ACR phantom, AGD was decreased to 0.66mGy. The diagnostic values of images were maintained and patients dose was reduced in the manual exposure in the AEC condition for 3D. Since the use of 3D has recently increased, using the manual exposure has been recommended in this study to improve the diagnostic value, while, simultaneously reducing patients dose.

Mammography equipment is an essential detector for making an early diagnosis of female's breast lesion. Recently, in most hospitals, a digital mammography detector is used due to the wide and consistent supply of digital mammography equipment. However, the average effective radiation is increasing due to the indiscreet use of CR or DR mammography. The purpose of this study is to recognize the possible indirect radiation damage, which can be occurred due to an excessive effective exposure of radiation, by evaluating spacial radiation rate of the digital mammography detector used for female patient. Consequently, the high mount of spacial radiation showed digital mammography equipment on the horizontal direction. Considering the result, digital mammography equipment should be installed by avoiding along the horizontal direction.

Digital radiography has been replacing rapidly the analog radiography for diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. The purpose of this study is to compare quality control of digital radiography (DR) and analog radiography (AR) for chest radiography in medical institution for pneumoconiosis (MIP) For the first time, we visited MIP to evaluate the chest radiography which is used for patients with pneumoconiosis, including equipment, technical parameters and reading environment. There were 33 institutions. DR and AR were installed in 24 and 9 institutions, respectively. Between DR and AR, we compared the radiological technique (RT), image quality (IQ) and reading environment (RE) to use the guideline published by Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute (OSHRI). The image quality was rated by two experienced chest radiologists for pneumoconiosis with certified from OSHRI. The chest radiography equipment was not significantly difference between AR and DR, but there were significantly difference in tube voltage and grid ratio used for chest radiography except to tube current, exposure time. Statistically, DR is significantly higher in RT(70.3 vs. 43.8, p = 0.009), RE(77.7 vs. 33.3, p = 0.004) than AR, but it's not significantly difference in IQ (65.6 vs. 52.8, p = 0.050). AR and DR in RT were passed 33.3%, 75.0% respectively (p = 0.044) and 44.4%, 79.2% (p = 0.090) in IQ and 44.4%, 91.7% (p = 0.009) in RE. In MIP, DR needs to replace AR in diagnosis of pneumoconiosis.

In this paper, we introduce a case study of cinematography using digital human in virtual production. This case study deals with the system overview of virtual production using LEDs and an efficient filming pipeline using digital human. Unlike virtual production using LEDs, which mainly project the background on LEDs, in this case, we use digital human as a virtual actor to film scenes communicating with a real actor. In addition, to film the dialogue scene between the real actor and the digital human using a real-time engine, we automatically generated speech animation of the digital human in advance by applying our Korean lip-sync technology based on audio and text. We verified this filming case by using a real-time engine to produce short drama content using real actor and digital human in an LED-based virtual production environment.

사용의 편리성, 신속성, 간편성 등 다양한 장점을 가진 디지털카메라가 필름카메라를 제치고 전세계적으로 급속하게 확산되고 있다. 디지털카메라는 편리하고 신속하게 이미지를 얻을 수 있다는 큰 장점이 있지만 ‘왜곡된 색상’으로 인하여 필름카메라보다 못하다는 평가를 받기도 한다. 이처럼 세계적으로 디지털 카메라, 캠코더 사용자 모두가 겪는 애로점이 바로‘컬러 밸런스(화이트밸런스)’이다. 본 고에서는‘컬러 & 화이트밸런스’를 요약하여‘밸런스로’표현하고자 한다. 문제는 사용자들이 디지털카메라 사용방법에 대하여 대다수가 잘 모르고 있다는 것이다. 많은 프로들과 유저들이 디지털 카메라로 촬영한 사진은 당연히‘후 보정’을 하는 것이 정상인 것처럼 알고 있으며, 심지어 디지털 카메라는‘후 보정’을 위한 카메라인 것으로 잘못 알고 있는 경우가 그것이다. 그러나 좋은 사진은‘후 보정’을 하지 않고서‘원색’을 그대로 표현 할 수 있는 것이‘작품’으로서의 진정한 가치가 있고, 사진의‘예술’인 것이다.고급기종의 디지털 카메라를 보유한 대부분의 사용자들은 카메라의 복잡한 기능 메뉴에 번거로움을 겪고 있다. 보편적으로 오토, 태양, 구름, 노을, 형광등1.2, 백열등, K, 켈빈도, 프리셋 등의 기능이 있으나 대부분 커스텀에서 기본 세트메뉴인‘오토’등의 모드를 선택하여 촬영을 하고 있고, 핵심 기능인‘프리셋’은 사용방법조차 모르고 있는 유저들이 많다. 또한 커스텀 모드의 기본메뉴를 선택하여 촬영을 했을 때 색상이 왜곡되는 것을 디지털 카메라는 당연히 그런 것으로 알고 있으며, 따라서 후보정은 당연한 것으로 대부분이 인식하고 있다. 그중에서 원색의 중요성을 인식하는 일부 사용자들만‘프리셋’기능에서 그레이 카드 등으로 밸런스를 세팅하여 촬영을 하고 있다.그러나 가장 정확한 것으로 알고 수 십 년간 사용해오던 그레이 카드 등을 이용하여 프리셋 모드에서 밸런스를 세팅하여 촬영을 할 경우에도, 카메라에 기본적으로 내장된‘커스텀 모드’보다는 색상이 다소 좋은 것을 알 수 있으나, 정확한 원색의 이미지를 얻기는 매우 어려워, 디지털 카메라의 한계라고까지 표현을 하고 있다.

In this paper, we proposed the microcalcification detection algorithm which is based on wavelet transform and automatic thresholding method in the X-ray mammographic images. Digital X-ray imaging system is essential equipment in the field diagnosis and is widely used in the various fields such as chest, fracture of a bone, and dental correction. Especially, digital X-ray mammographic imaging is known as the most important method to diagnose the breast cancer, many researches to develop the imaging system are processing in country. In this paper, we proposed a microcalcifications detection algorithm necessary in the early phase of breast cancer diagnosis and showed that a algorithm could effectively detect microcalfication and could aid diagnosis-radiologist.

This study was performed to evaluate the sensitivity of conventional film-screen radiography (CFSR) and direct digital radiography (DDR) for detection of various amounts of free peritoneal fluid. Ten adult male healthy beagles were used in this study. Radiographic examinations were performed in the right lateral and ventrodorsal positions. Fluid was injected in increments of 2.0 ml/kg of body weight up to 20.0 ml/kg of body weight. The images of CFSR and DDR were evaluated by two veterinary radiologists for evidence of abdominal fluid without knowledge of injected fluid volume. Data were evaluated by using the receiver operation curve (ROC) analysis and the area under the curve (AUC). There was no significant difference in detection of peritoneal fluid between DDR and CFSR in the ROC analysis. The accuracy of CFSR (0.805) was relatively higher than that of DDR (0.733), based on the ROC analysis and AUC. AUC of CFSR was higher in most injection doses. These results suggest that CFSR is more accurate than DDR for the detecting peritoneal fluid. Therefore, for situation in which digital radiographs are equivocal or small amount of fluid is suspected, other imaging modalities, such as ultrasonography would be helpful for determining the presence of fluids.

In digital mammography, Exposure factor were automatically chosen using by measurement breast thickness and the density of mammary gland. It may cause a increase glandular dose. The purpose of this study was to investigate optimal image quality in digital magnification mammography to decrease radiation exposure of patient dose. Auto mode gives the best image quality however, AGD showed better image quality. Image quality of manual mode passed phantom test and SNR at 55% mAs of auto mode commonly used in the digital magnification mammography. Also it could reduce AGD. According to result, manual mode may reduce the unnecessary radiation exposure in digital magnification mammography.
