표면영상유속계(Surface Image Velocimety, SIV)는 하천 표면의 영상을 분석하여 유속을 산정하는 매우 실용적이며 간편한 유속측정 방법이다. 그러나 표면영상유속계는 수표면의 움직임을 계산하여 표면유속을 산정하기 때문에 빛이 없는 야간의 경우 수표면의 움직임을 촬영하기 어려워 밤에 발생하는 홍수 유량 측정이 어려운 단점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 수표면에 야광 입자를 흘려 촬영하는 방법이 있었으나 대하천의 경우 야광물질의 크기가 작아 영상 내에서 식별이 어려운 문제가 있었고, 높은 밝기의 조명을 사용하여 영상을 획득하는 방법 또한 수행되었으나 빛이 수표면에 반사되어 하천 전체를 촬영하기 어려운 문제점이 있었다. 이 후 근적외선 카메라를 이용하여 야간 측정의 어려움을 극복하고자 하였으나 촬영범위가 최대 50 m 정도로 조사 거리의 한계를 나타내었다. 최근 Fujita(2013)는 원적외선카메라를 이용한 하천 유량 측정을 실시하였는데 이는 기존 야간촬영 시 시도되었던 방법의 문제점을 해결할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 원적외선 카메라를 이용한 표면영상유속계의 적용성을 검토하고자 실험수로에서 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 시 주간 및 야간의 상황을 설정하여 원적외선 카메라, 근적외선 카메라 그리고 일반 캠코더를 이용하여 흐름을 촬영하였다. 또한 프로펠러유속계를 이용하여 흐름의 표면유속을 측정하였다. 원적외선 카메라를 이용하여 촬영된 영상을 상호상관법을 이용하여 표면유속을 측정하였고, 이를 프로펠러유속계 측정결과와 비교하여 정확도를 검토하였다. 또한 일반 캠코더와 근적외선카메라의 영상 분석 결과와도 비교하여 개선점을 확인하였다.

위 X선 검사에 많이 사용되고 있는 방법은 충만법, 2중조영법, 압박법, 점막법, 유동법이 있으며, 검사목적에 따라 각 방법을 조합하여 실시하고 있다. 따라서 각 검사법의 장 단점과 촬영체위에 따르는 위의 묘출영역을 알아둘 필요가 있다. 이것을 이해하기 위해서는 위의 해부학적 위치관계를 알고 있어야 한다. 또한 입위(선자세)와 와위(누운자세), 체위변환을 할 때에 위의 형태가 변화되는 것을 알아야 하며, 더욱 위의 형태는 개인에 따라 심한 차이가 있어 임기응변으로 대응을 할 수 있는 능력이 있어야한다. 따라서 위 X선검사를 잘 하기 위해서는 일반촬영과 달라서 병리해부학적인 성상을 잘 알고 검사에 대응해야 하며, 위 X선검사는 지속적인 연수와 훈련이 필요한 촬영법이다.

General phantom for practical X-ray photography Practical phantom is an indispensable textbook for radiology, but it is difficult for existing commercially available phantom to be equipped with various kinds of phantom because it is an expensive import. Using 3D printing technology, I would like to make the general phantom for practical X-ray photography less expensive and easier. We would like to use a skeleton model that was produced based on CT image data using a 3D printer of FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) method as a phantom for general X-ray imaging. 3D slicer 4.7.0 program is used to convert CT DICOM image data into STL file, convert it to G-code conversion process, output it to 3D printer, and create skeleton model. The phantom of the completed phantom was photographed by X - ray and CT, and compared with actual medical images and phantoms on the market, there was a detailed difference between actual medical images and bone density, but it could be utilized as a practical phantom. 3D phonemes that can be used for general X-ray practice can be manufactured at low cost by utilizing 3D printers which are low cost and distributed and free 3D slicer program for research. According to the future diversification and research of 3D printing technology, it will be possible to apply to various fields such as health education and medical service.

Low energy x-rays that occur in the low tube voltage radiography of general radiography are absorbed strongly in the body and do not aid image quality enhancement. This study maintains titer in general radiography while using tube current that are proportional to density and the tube voltage 15% principle according to density to reduce patient exposure doses, and area doses and entrance surface doses were measured to compare patient exposure doses. In hand, knee, abdomen, and skull radiography, kVp was increased to 115% and mAs was decreased to 50% and kVp was decreased to 85% while mAs was increased to 200% and area doses and entrance surface doses were measured to compare relative doses. Also, 5 places in each image were set, density was measured, and Kruskal wallis H test was conducted to observe significance probabilities between groups. To fix density, kVp was increased to 115% and mAs was decreased to 50% and after measurements of mean area doses and entrance surface doses were made by each part, each decreased to 58.68% and 59.85% when standard doses were set to 100%, and each increased to 147.28% and 159.9% when kVp was decreased to 85% and mAs was increased to 200%. Comparisons of density changes showed that hand, knee, abdomen, and skull radiography all displayed significance probabilities>0.05, showing no changes in concentration. Radiography that increases kVp and lowers mAs through reasonable calculations within ranges that don't affect resolution and contrast seems to be a simple way to decrease patient exposure doses.

본 논문에서는 로봇이 정해진 폐구간을 이동하기 위해서 위에서 아래로 촬영한 카메라 정보를 활용한다. 로봇을 특정위치로 이동시키기 위해서는 카메라를 제어하는 서버 시스템과 로봇의 위치를 인식하기 위한 마크가 필요하다. 서버는 로봇의 위치를 로봇으로 인식하는 마크의 색 값으로 카메라로부터 인지하고 로봇에 위치 이동 명령을 수행할 서버와 로봇이 네트워크를 통해 Planning을 수행한다. 본 연구에서 휴머노이드 로봇인 나오와 로봇에 위치를 촬영할 카메라 그리고 이미지 처리를 하기 위해 OpenCV와 이동 알고리즘으로 $A^*$를 활용하여 Planning을 구현한다.

The magnification technique has recently become popular in bone radiography, mammography and other diagnostic examination. However, because of the finite size of X-ray focal spot, the magnification influences various imaging properties with resolution, noise and contrast. The purpose of study is to investigate the influence of magnification and focal spot size on digital imaging system using eDQE (effective detective quantum efficiency). Effective DQE is a metric reflecting overall system response including focal spot blur, magnification, scatter and grid response. The adult chest phantom employed in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was used to derive eDQE from eMTF (effective modulation transfer function), eNPS (effective noise power spectrum), scatter fraction and transmission fraction. According to results, spatial frequencies that eMTF is 10% with the magnification factor of 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 are 2.76, 2.21, 1.78, 1.49 and 1.26 lp/mm respectively using small focal spot. The spatial frequencies that eMTF is 10% with the magnification factor of 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 are 2.21, 1.66, 1.25, 0.93 and 0.73 lp/mm respectively using large focal spot. The eMTFs and eDQEs decreases with increasing magnification factor. Although there are no significant differences with focal spot size on eDQE (0), the eDQEs drops more sharply with large focal spot than small focal spot. The magnification imaging can enlarge the small size lesion and improve the contrast due to decrease of effective noise and scatter with air-gap effect. The enlargement of the image size can be helpful for visual detection of small image. However, focal spot blurring caused by finite size of focal spot shows more significant impact on spatial resolution than the improvement of other metrics resulted by magnification effect. Based on these results, appropriate magnification factor and focal spot size should be established to perform magnification imaging with digital radiography system.

The purpose of this study was to develop a respiratory synchronization device for X-ray (X-RSD) to increase the reproducibility of inspiration when examining the Chest X-ray of a patient who difficulty in breathing coordination. The X-RSD was self-made using an air pressure sensor and air was injected by connecting a ventilator to the mannequin for CPR. At this time, the amount of injected air was quantified using the SkillReporting device. After placing the X-RSD on the chest of the mannequin, the amount of air was tested in 6 steps from 200 to 700 cc by 100 cc increased. For the accuracy evaluation, the sensitivity of X-RSD was measured by repeating a total of 80 measurements, and the sensitivity was 100%, and very precise results were obtained. After that, the images examined while viewing the X-RSD of the chest lateral examination and the images obtained by the blind examination were compared and evaluated. The lung volume of X-RSD was larger than that of the blind test, and the deviation was smaller. Overall, the use of X-RSD can help with chest X-ray examination of patients who have difficulty in cooperating, and it is thought that it will be possible to contribute to the reduction of exposure dose by reducing the repeat rate of general X-ray examinations.

이전 필름 카메라 시대에는 한 필름에 촬영 가능한 사진의 수가 제한되고 인화와 현상에 대한 비용과 시간 소모로 인해, 꼭 필요하거나 중요한 순간에 사진을 촬영하였다. 그러나 최근에는 디지털 카메라의 보급과 대용량화된 메모리로 인해, 이전의 필름 카메라 시대와는 달리 일반 사람들도 한번에 많은 양의 사진을 촬영하는 일이 많아졌다. 이와 같이 관리해야 할 사진의 수가 많아질수록 사진을 분류하고 관리하는 작업에 많은 노력과 비용이 소모된다. 본 논문에서는 윈도우와 우선순위 큐를 이용하여, 촬영시각 문맥 (temporal context)의 흐름이 약한 순서대로 사진들을 클러스터링하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 평가를 위해서, Cooper 가 제안한 이벤트 클러스터링 방법과 정확도와 재현율을 비교하였으며, 사진 촬영 시각 차이의 분포의 편차가 작을수록, 제안한 클러스터링 방법이 높은 정확도를 보였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 촬영 시각 클러스터링은 많은 수의 사진들을 이벤트 기반으로 자동 분류하는데 활용될 수 있으며, 클러스터링된 정보들을 그룹별로 시각화하기 위한 인터페이스를 개발하는 것을 향후 연구과제로 제시한다.
