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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate quantitative data on the difference in breast entrance surface dose with changes in focus-film distance, patient posture (anteroposterior-posteroanterior), thoracic wall thickness, rib bone thickness, lung tissue thickness, tube voltage, and high-voltage rectification method in Whole Spine Scanography, which is necessary for the treatment of scoliosis patients. Given a tube voltage of 90 kVp, kerma of 0.1 mGy, focus-film distance of 260 cm, tube voltage ripple rate of 0, filter thickness of 3.5 mm, and thickness of patient's thoracic wall of 120 mm as an X-ray exposure condition, from the simulation results using the Simulation of X-ray Spectra program to confirm the reduction effect of breast entrance surface dose according to the patient's posture (AP and PA), there was a dose reduction effect in aluminum filter thickness of 2.6 times at 3.5 mm, 25.7 times the thoracic wall thickness at 120 mm, 1.43 times higher tube voltage, and 0 to 1.14 times the tube voltage ripple rate. The total dose reduction effect was about 109 times. In order to confirm the dose reduction effect of RANDO phantom posture (AP and PA), from the results of the measurements taken under the conditions that the focus-film distance was 260 cm, the tube voltage was 90 kVp, the tube current was 270 mA, the exposure time was 0.31 sec, and the tube voltage ripple rate of X-ray generators was 0, the entrance surface dose reduction effect of the breast in the PA position was found to be 20.56 times lower than that of the AP position.

The computed tomography(CT) simulation tool provides virtual experimental environment without using a high cost medical equipment. We made teaching materials for the CT simulation tools and educated the students and entry level of radio-technologists. We divided the experimental objects into two groups; students who took only theoretical classes (group 1) and students who took both theoretical and simulation classes (group 2). The results showed that the group 2 outperformed group 1 significantly, which indicates that the simulation program provides a good educational material for not only students but also radio-technologists.

Three-dimensional landscape map is very useful in terrain analysis as it looks like real shape of terrain. When three-dimensional landscape map is needed, landscape photos achieved at a position of high elevation or by airplane are generally used. But, this approach can not fully satisfy the user's need to get pictures from various view points. In addition, because photos have some geometric displacement caused by the principle of central projection of camera, it is hard to get accurate locations from the photo. This paper aims to get three-dimensional landscape map similar to real terrain feature from vertical stereo aerial photos by digital photogrammetric techniques. This approach can provide a very useful data for three-dimensional terrain analysis as a function of Geo-Spatial Information System.

In case of the Dental X-ray apparatus, the diameter (or the field size) of the tip of the cone should be less than 7 cm according to the Diagnosis Radiation Equipment Safety Management. However, deviation from the field is not expected to be big as photography is made at close range from the skin. Also, as the size of film or digital detector used in intra-oral photography is $3\times4cm^2$, the size mentioned above can be considered to be much bigger. Furthermore, the patient dose by short-distance photography can not be ignored. Therefore, effect on the patient dose, resolution and image qualty was examined by reducing the cone diameter by 0.5 cm interval. The result showed that the patient dose was reduced and a partial improvement in picture contrast was observed. Therefore, it can be concluded from these results that further investigation may be worthwhile in terms of policy.

영화는 인간의 사고와 감정에 크나큰 영향을 미친다. 프레임라는 제한된 공간에 감독의 연출로 다양한 장면과 연기자의 연기력과 배경과 사물과 시나리오라는 극본을 통하여 관객에게 커다란 감동을 전달한다. 하나의 장면을 카메라를 통하여 실사를 촬영하여 연출하기도 하지만 경우에 따라서는 SF처럼 다양한 특수 효과를 적용하기도 하고, 비디오효과를 적용하여 장면에 대한 깊은 인상을 갖게 하는데 이러한 장면에서 비디오 기법 등 다양한 효과를 적용하여 극적 효과와 진한 감동으로 명화의 장면들을 연출한다.

The Pneumatic Reduction and VCUG (Voiding Cystourethrography) are commonly used in the paediatric age group. The procedures had a particularly long fluroscopic screening time, despite a successful outcome for paediatric patients. Pneumatic Reduction and VCUG almost invariably requires fluoroscopic guidance which does confer a radiation dose. This article contains suggestions on how the radiation dose to paediatric patients from Pneumatic Reduction and VCUG can be made "as low as reasonably achievable" (ALARA). The aim of our study was eliminated in spot image applying the FluoroGrab, which has function of capturing an image of interest area from the picturing while fluoroscopic procedures. FluoroGrab has clinical value equivalent to the spot image, and is applied to the most recent fluoroscopic procedures. The radiologist and the radiographers should consider new option for decreasing the radiation exposure delivered to paediatric patients by making equipment modifications to the fluoroscopy to optimize radiation exposure reduction techniques. Thus, we propose the FluoroGrab instead of spot exposure for the reduction of patient exposure dose in paediatric, and try to confirm the effect of the mitigating amount of radiation exposure to paediatric patients when pneumatic reduction and VCUG. Fluorograb is the safe and useful method that shows the equivalent level of accuracy to spot exposure, and to minimize the radiation load to paediatric patients are to be the substitute for the spot exposure for Pneumatic Reduction and VCUG.
