Pediatrics are more sensibility to radiation than adults and because they are organs that are not completely grown, they have a life expectancy that can be adversely affected by exposure. Therefore, the management of exposure dose is more important than the case of adult. The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability of the 10 year old phantom for the 5 year old pediatric's recommendation and the incident surface dose, and to measure the organ absorbed dose. This study is compared the organ absorbed dose and the entrance surface dose in the clinical conditions at 5 and 10 years old pediatric. Clinical 5 year old condition was slightly higher than recommendation condition and 10 year old condition was very high. In addition, recommendation condition ESD was found to be 43% higher than the ESD of the 5 year old group and the ESD of the 10 year old group was 126% higher than that of the 5 year old group. The recommended ESD at 5 years old and the ESD according to clinical imaging conditions were 31.6%. There was no significant difference between the 5 year old recommended exposure conditions and the organ absorbed dose due to clinical exposure conditions, but there was a large difference between the Chest and Pelvic. However, it was found that there was a remarkable difference when comparing the organ absorbed dose by 10 year clinical exposure conditions. Therefore, more detailed standard exposure dose for the recommended dose of pediatric should be studied.

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.

Recently studies on how to use the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are actively being conducted, and the National Geographic Information Institute published the 『Work Guidelines for Public Surveying of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles』. However, the guidelines do not provide the optimum shooting conditions required for each application. In this study, we tried to find the suitable shooting conditions for the production of 3D (Three-dimensional) spatial information and orthophoto. To this end, 45 experiments were conducted by various altitudes, overlaps, and camera angles within an above ground level of 150m. For evaluating the 3D modeling by shooting conditions, point densities of 9 verification areas were analyzed, and to evaluate the orthophotos, 1/1,000 digital maps were compared. Considering the quality of the output and the processing time for precise 3D construction, an altitude of 50m, an overlap of 70~80%, and a camera angle of 80~90° are suitable as shooting conditions, and an altitude of 100m and camera angle of 80~90° are suitable for orthophoto generation.

1. Purpose : This study is to present effective exposure conditions to acquire the best image of simple abdomen in Film Screen (F.S) system and Computed Radiography (C.R) system. 2. Method : In the F.S system, while an exposure condition was fixed as 70kVp, images of a patients simple abdomen were taken under the different mAs exposure conditions. Among these images, the best one was chosen by radiologists and radiological technologists. In the C.R system, the best image of the same patient was acquired with the same method from the F.S system. Both characteristic curves from F.S system and C.R system were analyzed. 3. Results : In the F.S system, the best exposure condition of simple abdomen was 70kVp and 20mAs. In the CR system, with the fixed condition at 70kVp, the image densities of human organs, such as liver, kidney, spleen, psoas muscle, lumbar spine body and iliac crest, were almost same despite different environments (3.2mAs, 8mAs, 12mAs, 16mAs and 20mAs). However, when the exposure conditions were over or under (below) 12mAs, the images between the abdominal wall and the directly exposed part became blurred because the gap of density was decreased. In the C.R system, while the volume of mAs was decreased, an artifact of quantum mottle was increased. 4. Conclusion : This study shows that the exposure condition in the C.R system can be reduced 40% than in the F.S system. This paper concluded that when the exposure conditions are set in CR environment, after the analysis of equipment character, such as image processing system(EDR : Exposure Data Recognition processing), PACS and so on, the high quality of image with maximum information can be acquired with a minimum exposure dose.

This study is investigated dose change on intra-oral radiography when same conditions under the others unit and same unit under the different exposed conditions. Three different radiation devices were studied. Exposure to the upper anterior, premolar and molar on the variant time and dose measure was using semiconductor radiation dose meter. Obtained film density value was analyzed to the belong in the range of diagnosis. Results for dose of each region were less dissimilar between the maximum and minimum. Its value was different 10 times as many as 3 times. In addition, the range of film density was 2.10 ~ 2.95. These values were exceeded on the allow density of diagnostic value '0.25 ~ 2.0'. Even if the same device and the same condition, measured dose was considerable differance and film density was showed show the inappropriate density range. Those can be caused the patient's re-take and patient's diagnostic errors so patients has affected direct and indirect radiological harm. Therefore, dental radiography devices will be required periodical maintenance and also provided standard on the exposure and processing conditions.

주위 광원에 화이트 밸런스 된 카메라로 촬영한 피사체의 RGB신호를 D/sub 65/ 광원하의 표준 디스플레이 상에서 느끼는 자극치 L₁M₁S₁값과, 실제 촬영 장소에서 눈이 충분히 주위 조건에 색순응 된 후 피사체에 대해서 느끼는 자극치 L₂M₂S₂값은 다르게 느껴진다. 이는 LMS 시세포의 파장별 감도특성과 카메라의 RGB 칼라 필터의 파장별 감도특성이 다르기 때문이다. 또한 주위 광원의 종류와 밝기에 따른 물리적인 자극 변화에 대해서 카메라의 경우는 RGB 각 채널의 이득이 선형적 변화를 가진다. 그리고 눈의 경우는 LMS 시세포의 감도가 비선형적 특성을 가지기 때문에 색감의 차이를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 촬영시의 주위 조건에서 원 피사체를 직접 볼 때 느끼는 색감을 표준 시환경인 D/sub 65/ 광원하에서 화이트밸런스가 D/sub 65/인 디스플레이를 통해 피사체 이미지를 볼 경우에 동일한 색감을 느끼도록 하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 이용하여 표준 조건하에서 디스플레이 하였을 때 촬영 조건에서의 등색감을 재현할 수 있다.

This study determines a range of CT parameter values in Brain CT which are minimizing patient absorption dose without compromising the image quality and optimal exposure condition. We measured dose and image noise using conventional CT parameters in Brain CT. In additon, we evaluated dose, SNR and PSNR of head phantom images while changing kVp and rotation time. In this study, effectiveness of dose that was achieved from dose reproducible experiments in conventional head CT condition is determined by changing kVp and rotation time. Dose and PSNR is related to low dose-high resolution condition. In conclusion, we suggest that using proposed conditions is effective for imaging to compare with conditions proposed by the manufacturer.

The OpenCV-based length measurement algorithm is anticipated to be effective for length measurement inspection tasks, providing objective inspection outcomes. Nonetheless, there is a notable gap in research regarding the influence of various checkerboard types and capturing conditions on the algorithm's accuracy in real-world construction settings. Consequently, this study proposes a methodology employing an OpenCV-based length measurement algorithm and checkerboard for digital construction inspection tasks. The findings suggest that using a checkerboard with square sizes of A4 or larger, and 50mm or larger, is optimal for capturing distances and angles within 4m and 90°, respectively, when deploying the algorithm. These insights are anticipated to provide practical guidelines for professionals conducting digital-based length measurement inspections.
