본 연구의 목적은 음파를 이용하는 유속계로부터 관측된 후방산란강도와 실측된 부유사농도의 상관관계를 해석하여, 두 인자 사이의 관련 매개변수를 정량적으로 산정하고 관계식을 도출하는데 있다. 이를 위해 층별 유속계인 Aquadopp Profiler를 사용하여 사질 퇴적물 및 고령토 부유퇴적물 관측센서 검보정 챔버 실험을 수행하였다. 두 인자의 상관관계는 선형회귀분석을 통해 해석하였으며 그 결과로 도출된 접합곡선의 기울기는 각각 안목 A1 이 2.065, 안목 A2가 1.576, 고령토시료일 때 2.588의 값을 갖는데 이러한 차이는 시료 특성으로 설명될 수 있다. 서로 다른 입경을 갖는 시료는 후방산란 민감도에 차이가 있으며 이러한 영향으로 두 시료에서 산정된 계수 값에 차이가 발생한다. 본 연구를 통하여 도출된 측정 결과들은 후방산란강도에 미치는 수층 부유입자들의 영향이 매우 큼을 잘 보여준다. 일반적으로 수층 부유입자는 저면 퇴적물이 부유된 것으로 간주될 수 있으며, 또한 저면 퇴적물은 각 해역별로 site-specific 하다고 할 수 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of scatter correction on the assessment of myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by gated Tc-99m myocardial SPECT. Materials and Methods: Subjects were 11 normal volunteers, 20 patients with non-cardiac chest pain and 13 patients with coronary artery diseases. We classified above 3 groups into normal and diseased groups. Scatter correction was done using dual-energy-window scatter correction method (DEW-SC). We compared acquired counts, image contrast, corrected maximum relative counts, indices of left ventricular function, extent and severity of perfusion defects calculated by 'CEqual program' between scatter non-corrected and corrected images. Results: Scatter corrected studios was lower in counts by $18{\pm}3%$ than uncorrected studies, but image contrast were improved in all cases. Scatter correction using DEW-SC took 3 minutes to complete, and 512 kB memory to store. There were no significant differences among indices of left ventricular function between scatter non-corrected and corrected images. Although extents of perfusion defects were not significantly different, severity was severer in scatter corrected images. Conclusion: Scatter correction using DEW-SC is simple to do, and improves image contrast without changing other indices of myocardial perfusion and function.

When we apply a propagation model to the ocean with boundaries, we can calculate reflected wave using reflection coefficient suggested by Rayleigh assuming the boundaries are flat. But boundaries in ocean such as sea surface and sea bottom have an irregular rough surface. To calculate the reflection loss for an irregular boundary, it is needed to compute the coherent reflection coefficient based on an experimental formula or scattering theory. In this article, we derive the coherent reflection coefficients for a fluid-fluid interface using perturbation theory, Kirchhoff approximation and small-slope approximation respectively. Based on each formula, we can calculate coherent reflection coefficients for a rough sea surface or sea bottom, and then compare them to the Rayleigh reflection coefficient to analyze the reflection loss for a random rough surface. In general, the coherent reflection coefficient based on small-slope approximation has a wide valid region. Comparing it with the coherent reflection coefficients derived from the Kirchhoff approximation and perturbation theory, we discuss a valid region of them.

Purpose : Arm motion can give rise to striking cold artifact on PET/CT. We investigated that evaluation of scatter-limit correction and correct the patient arm motion artifact in Discovery 600 PET/CT. Materials and Methods : To evaluate a radioactivity uptake (Bq/ml) and a standard uptake value (SUV), the scatter limit correction and scatter correction were compared using 1994 NEMA Phantom$^{TM}$ in Discovery 600 PET/CT (GE Healthcare, Mi, We). Arm motion phantom study was involved a central 20 cm diameter cylinder simulating the neck and 2 peripheral 10 cm diameter cylinders simulating arms. The positions of the arms were altered so as to introduce different amounts of misalignment. The evaluation of arm motion phantom study used the radioactivity uptake and SUV in scatter correction and scatter limit correction. Results : The statistical significance of radioactivity uptake and SUV did not show the differences in comparisons of the scatter limit correction and the scatter correction that not show (p<0.05). Radioactivity uptake of the scatter correction was up to 3.1 kBq/ml in the 0.04 kBq/ml. It was approximately 98.7% undervalued in the arm motion phantom study. However, Radioactivity uptake of the scatter limit correction was up to 3.0 kBq/ml in the 2.11 kBq/ml. It was approximately 30% undervalued in arm motion phantom study. SUV of the scatter correction was 1.05 to 0.006 and underestimated about 98%. However, an applying SUV of the scatter limit correction changed the value as 0.67 which is underestimated about 25%. Radioactivity uptake and SUV of the scatter limit correction was increased approximately 60%, or more than the scatter correction. Conclusion : It is considered that if the patient arm motion artifact was occurred the scatter limit correction will be applicable to give an accurate diagnosis.

최근 기존의 전통적인 부유사채집기를 활용한 유사량 측정방법의 대안으로 지속적인 유량측정을 목적으로 활용되고 있는 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도를 측정에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 하지만, 하천에서 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계를 활용한 유사량 측정 연구는 현장에서 측정된 자료를 기반으로 분석이 수행되기 때문에 통제된 유사 조건에서의 유사의 농도 및 입도분포에 대한 사전 정보를 바탕으로 정밀한 분석의 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 안동하천실험센터 순환수로에서 균일한 입도를 가지고 있는 황토를 활용하여 주입량에 따른 초음파산란도의 변화와 동시에 측정된 LISST(laser in-situ scattering and transmissometry)의 부유사 농도와 입도 자료를 활용하여 유사공급에 따른 3Mhz의 단일 주파수를 사용하는 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 및 평균입경의 측정에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 측정결과, 유사공급에 따라서 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도가 증가하는 경향을 나타내고 있었으며, 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계로부터 측정된 셀별 초음파산란도를 활용하여 부유사농도의 공간적인 분포의 분석이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 유사감쇄계수를 활용하여 LISST로부터 측정된 평균입경과의 관계식을 개발하여 유사공급에 따른 평균입경의 변화를 측정할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 추후, 통제된 조건에서의 다양한 입도분포에 따른 실험을 통해 횡방향 초음파도플러유속계의 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 측정 정확도를 개선과 유사감쇄계수를 통해 평균입경을 측정하는데 활용이 될 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a soil moisture estimation was performed using the Water Cloud Model (WCM), a backscatter model that considers vegetation based on SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar). Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 MSI (Multi-Spectral Instrument) images of a 40 × 50 km² area including the Yongdam Dam watershed of the Geum River were collected for this study. As vegetation descriptor of WCM, Sentinel-1 based vegetation index RVI (Radar Vegetation Index), depolarization ratio (DR), and Sentinel-2 based NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) were used, respectively. Forward modeling of WCM was performed by 3 groups, which were divided by the characteristics between backscattering coefficient and soil moisture. The clearer the linear relationship between soil moisture and the backscattering coefficient, the higher the simulation performance. To estimate the soil moisture, the simulated backscattering coefficient was inverted. The simulation performance was proportional to the forward modeling result. The WCM simulation error showed an increasing pattern from about -12dB based on the observed backscattering coefficient.

Propagation of elastic surface waves in anisotropic media is considered in this study. An analytical technique is proposed to study the scattering of surface waves at the interface between two anisotropic quarter-spaces. The Green's function technique is used to derive a system of equations which can determine the scattering coefficients at the interface. A numerical study is carried out and the trade-offs between the material anisotropy and inhomogeneity are studied.

Based on the recently developed resonance scattering theory for elastic waves, a relationship between the stress components, which may be measured using ultrasonic transducers, of partial waves scattered from cylindrical fluid scatterer, cavity, and resonance scatterer has been derived. The computed resonance scattered stresses exhibit frequency behaviors similar to the corresponding scattering coefficients: particularly, abrupt changes in phase by 180°near the resonant frequencies. By studying the behavior of pressure in the fluid scatterer, the physics of the theory has been further understood. Using the method studied and developed in this paper, nondestructive characterization of fluid inclusions in elastic media is expected to become more reliable.
