Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant hematologic disease caused by the proliferation of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow, and its incidence is increasing in Korea. With the development of treatments for MM, the need for early diagnosis and treatment has emerged. In recent years, the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) has been constantly revising the laboratory and radiological diagnostic criteria for MM. In addition, as whole-body MRI (WBMR) has been increasing used in the diagnosis and treatment response evaluation of patients with MM, the Myeloma Response Assessment and Diagnosis System (MY-RADS) was created to standardize WBMR image acquisition techniques, image interpretation, and response evaluation methods. Radiologists need to have a detailed knowledge of the features of MM for accurate diagnosis. Thus, in this review article, we describe the imaging method for MM according to the latest IMWG guidelines as well as the image acquisition and response evaluation technique for WBMR according to MY-RADS.

Numberous satellites have monitored the Earth in order to detect changes in a large area. These satellites provide orbit information such as ephemeris data, RPC coefficients and etc. besides image data. If we can use such orbit data afforded by satellite, we can reduce the number of control point for geo-referencing. This paper shows the efficient geometric correction method of strip-satellite RADARSAT-l SAR images acquired by same orbit using ephemeris data, single control point and virtual control points. For accuracy analysis of proposed method, this paper compared the image geometrically corrected by the proposed method to the image corrected by ERDAS Imagine.

Filtering has been used to improve the image quality not only in MRI but in most image processing fields. In this paper, modified Fermi-Direc filter was transformed in various shapes, and then the optimum shape was designed. In addition, Newly made filter was applied in real clinic, which showed the obvious improvement in image quality. In conclusion, filtered image was superior to original image in contrast and sharpness. Then, this was proved by the histogram of R, G, B channel used for the quantitative analysis.

양안식 3DTV 비디오의 효율적인 압축을 위해 다양한 기술들이 연구되었으며, 그 중 좌우영상으로 상이한 해상도의 영상을 사용하는 비대칭 양안식 영상은 인간의 시각시스템이 상이한 해상도의 양안식 양상을 높은 쪽 영상의 품질에 가깝게 인지하는 특성을 이용한 대표적인 비트레이트를 절감 방식이다. 이에 다양한 연구에서 좌우해상도 차이에 따른 화질 저하 정도를 측정하려는 시도가 이루어졌으나, 기존 연구에서는 적정 시청거리를 고려하지 않고 좌우 영상의 크기만을 고려하여 실험하였으며 따라서 각 연구별로 상이한 실험 결과가 도출되었다. 본 연구에서는 인간의 시각 시스템을 고려하여 적정 시청거리를 계산하고, 이에 따라 좌우영상 비율 별 화질평가를 수행하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 좌영상을 IID급 방송콘텐츠로 가정하고, 우영상을 모바일 방송콘텐츠로 가정함으로써, 실험 결과의 방송 서비스 활용가능성을 높였다.

The success of image-guided breast biopsy depends on the biopsy method, needle selection, and appropriate technique based on the accurate judgment by the radiologist at biopsy. However, insufficient or inappropriate sampling of specimens may result in false-negative results or pathologic underestimation. Therefore, image-pathology concordance assessments after biopsy are essential for appropriate patient management. Particularly, the assessment of image-pathology concordance can avoid false-negative reports of breast cancer as a benign pathology. Therefore, this study aimed to discuss factors that impact the accurate interpretation of image-guided breast biopsy along with the appropriate assessments.

필드 워핑은 상대적으로 많은 연산량을 요구하는 것에 반해 제어선을 이용하여 워핑 결과를 좀 더 세밀하게 제어할 수 있는 것이 장점이다. 필드 영상 워핑 및 모핑의 동작 특성상, 국부적인 영상 확대와 축소 및 회전 등과 같은 다양한 기하학적인 변형이 복합적으로 발생하게 되는데 역방향 매핑 과정에서 소스 영상과 목적 영상의 화소가 정수 화소 단위로 대응되지 않을 경우, 목적 영상에 대응시킬 화소값을 산출하기 위해 적합한 영상 보간 기술이 필요하다. 다양한 보간 기술들 중에서 평균적으로 우수한 결과를 제공하는 양선형 보간이 보편적으로 사용되고 있으나, 이 보간 기술은 대각선 방향의 윤곽선 재현에 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 필드 워핑과 모핑을 위한 pseudomedian 필터 기반 영상보간법을 제안하고 주관적인 화질을 분석 평가함에 그 목적이 있다. 제안된 보간 방법은 양선형 보간과 윤곽선 재현에 우수한 특성을 보이는 pseudomedian 필터 보간을 효과적으로 결합한 것이다. 제안된 방법에 따르면 다른 보간 기법에 비해 상대적으로 자연스러운 워핑 및 모핑 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 타당성과 보편성을 검증하기 위해 서로 다른 분포 특성을 갖는 영상을 대상으로 주간적인 화질 측면에서 그 성능을 분석 평가하였다.

This study investigated how video playback styles affect viewers' emotional responses to a video and then suggested emotion assessment tool for playback-edited videos. The study involved two in-lab experiments. In the first experiment, observers were asked to express their feelings while watching videos in both original playback and articulated playback simultaneously. By controlling the speed, direction, and continuity, total of twelve playback styles were created. Each of the twelve playback styles were applied to five kinds of original videos that contains happy, anger, sad, relaxed, and neutral emotion. Thirty college students participated and more than 3,800 words were collected. The collected words were comprised of 899 kinds of emotion terms, and these emotion terms were classified into 52 emotion categories. The second experiment was conducted to develop proper emotion assessment tool for playback-edited video. Total of 38 emotion terms, which were extracted from 899 emotion terms, were employed from the first experiment and used as a scales (given in Korean and scored on a 5-point Likert scale) to assess the affective quality of pre-made video materials. The total of eleven pre-made commercial videos which applied different playback styles were collected. The videos were transformed to initial (un-edited) condition, and participants were evaluated pre-made videos by comparing initial condition videos simultaneously. Thirty college students evaluated playback-edited video in the second study. Based on the judgements, four factors were extracted through the factor analysis, and they were labelled "Happy", "Sad", "Reflective" and "Weird (funny and at the same time weird)." Differently from conventional emotion framework, the positivity and negativity of the valence dimension were independently treated, while the arousal aspect was marginally recognized. With four factors from the second experiment, finally emotion assessment tool for playback-edited video was proposed. The practical value and application of emotion assessment tool were also discussed.

기존의 유전자 알고리즘과는 달리 대화형 유전자 알고리즘은 평가치를 인간이 제시할 수있기 때문에 인간의 직관이나 감성을 효과적으로 표현할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 대화형 유전자 알고리즘을 기반으로 내용 기반 영상 검색 시스템을 구축한 바 있는데, 이 시스템은 웨이블렛 변환을 통하여 기술된 영상을 내용에 기반하여 검색할 수 있도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 웨이블렛 변환으로 얻어진 계수가 유전자 알고리즘의 염색체 표현으로 효과적인지를 실험적으로 평가하고자 한다. 소규모의 영상 데이터베이스에 대하여 실험한 결과 체이블렛 변환으로 기술된 염색테들이 유전자 알고리즘의 교차 연산에 대하여 의미있는 후보를 찾아낸다는 사실을 확인할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reproducibility and usefulness of an image through the fusion of the computed tomography image and the magnetic resonance image by using a self-produced phantom when planning the treatment, and also to compare and analyze the target dose on the acquired image. The size of small hole and the reproducibility of capacity existed in the phantom on the image of the phantom obtained by the computed tomography and the magnetic resonance image of the phantom scanning with different intensity of magnetic field are compared, and the change of dose in the random target is compared and analyzed.

In the paper, a methodology is verified to integrate IKONOS-2 satellite imagery and ALS dataset by compensating biases of RPC models. To achieve this, conjugate features from both data should be extracted in advance. For this purpose, linear features are chosen as conjugate features because they can be accurately extracted from man-made structures in urban area and more easily extracted than point features from ALS data. Then, observation equations are established from similarity measurements of the extracted features. During the process, several kinds of transformation functions were selected and used to register them. In addition, it was also analyzed how the number of linear features used as control features affects the accuracy of registration results. Finally, the results were evaluated by using check-points obtained from DGPS surveying techniques and it was clearly demonstrated that the proposed algorithms are appropriate to integrate these data.
