오늘날 인터넷은 사용자에게 수많은 정보와 다양한 선택의 기회를 제공하지만, 사용자는 급속하게 늘어난 수 많은 정보 중에서 자신에게 유용한 정보를 찾는데 더 많은 시간을 투자해야만 한다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하고 좀 더 효율적인 인터페이스를 제공하기 위해서는 사용자들이 원하는 정보를 획득하기까지, 어떠한 탐색 과정을 거쳐 의사 결정을 내리는지에 관한 이해가 선행되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 웹 검색 결과를 소비하는 사용자의 정보 탐색 패턴과 이에 수반되는 인지 과정을 시선의 움직임을 통하여 분석하였다. 실험 결과 일반적인 글읽기 형태와는 차별된 시선의 움직임을 관찰할 수 있었는데, 대부분의 시선 이동 궤적은 직선이 아닌 도처에 걸쳐 흩어진 의미 단위로 드문드문 이동함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 각 의미 단위를 중심으로 진행성(forward) 도약과 역행성(regressive) 도약이 관찰되었고, 제목 ${\rightarrow}$ 내용 순의 세밀한 응시가 이루어진 이후 Click 여부가 결정되었다. 하지만 평균 Scan path 는 타이틀과 내용의 구분 없이 전체 화면 길이/너비의 50%를 넘지 못하여 축소된 Golden Triangle 형태를 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 웹 검색 결과에 대한 사용자 소비 경향의 특성을 파악하여 향후 좀 더 효율적인 소비를 이끌어내기 위한 인터페이스 설계 방향의 기초 연구로 그 의의가 있다.

본 연구에서는 용접선 추출의 방법으로 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 용접선을 따라 연속적으로 이미지를 얻어 처리하는 사전관찰(preview)기법을 개선하여 용접모재를 한번에 촬영(snapshot)하여 화상처리를 거친 후 용접정보가 들어 있는 CAD database와 비교, 매칭시켜 필요한 용접정보를 획득하는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 또한 정확한 꼭지점을 추출하기 위해서는 정확한 직선식이 필요한데 이의 계산에는 허프변환(Hough Transform)이 이용되고 있지만 계산시간이 많이 소요되며 부정확하다. 계산시간의 감소 및 정확도의 향상을 위해 기존의 허프변환(Hough Transform)을 개선한 수정된 허프변환(Modified HoughTranform)을 개발하였다.

Purpose: To investigate amount of myopic progression with increase of age for children myopes among patients of a Korean optometry clinic. Methods: It has followed up 99 children subjects (male 55, female 44) who had no ocular disease and have visited a Korean optometric clinic for mean $33{\pm}8$ months (13 to 54 months) since June of 2001. Mean age of subjects at first visit was $118{\pm}23$months. Non-cycloplegic refractive error were measured 6 times using Canon RK-3(Japan) every mean 6 months. Results: For all subjects mean of refractive errors increased -0.78 D per year from $-2.02{\pm}1.05D$ at first visit to $-4.18{\pm}1.30D$ at final visit with longitudinal study, but -0.19 D per year with cross-section study, which showed a big difference between two methods. Mean of astigmatic refractive error increased -0.15 D per year. As progression of refractive error according to ages at first visit, refractive errors increased -1.04 D per year for 6 years old, -0.9 D for 7 years old, -0.89 D for 8 years old, -0.89 D for 9 years old, -0.74 D for 10 years old, -0.74 D for 11 years old and -0.72 D for 12 years old. And it showed a tendency that the younger age was the higher progression of myopia. However it was not significantly different between each groups. Conclusions: Follow-up results for myopic children among patients of a Korean optometry clinic showed increase of -0.78 D for myopic refractive error and -0.14 D for astigmatic refractive error per year.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the postoperative knee stability and functional scores between single- and double- bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction at a minimum 2 years follow-up. Materials and Methods: 56 patients (group T) with ACL injury in one knee were recruited with 27 allocated to the double bundle ACL reconstruction group (group D) and 29 to the single bundle ACL reconstruction group (group S). Clinical outcomes including Lysholm knee scores, Tegner activity scores, Lachman and pivot shift test results, and radiographic stabilities were also compared between two groups. Results: Clinical outcomes including Lysholm knee and Tegner activity scores were similar in the two groups at 2 years follow-up. Furthermore, stability results of Lachman test, pivot shift test, and radiological findings failed to reveal any significant inter-group differences. Conclusion: Double bundle ACL reconstruction does not produce better in clinical outcomes and postoperative stabilities.

Duplex sonography has been used to non-invasively diagnose carotid artery disease and to follow up patients with this disease. In carotid artery disease, carotid mobile thrombus and dissection are rarely detected by duplex sonography in patients with cerebrovascular events. In particular, carotid dissection occurs when a small tear forms in the tunica intima and makes 2 lumens in the carotid artery, including true and false lumens. This study reports 3 rare cases of carotid mobile thrombus, spontaneous carotid dissection, and carotid dissection in Takayasu arteritis.

Purpose: Incidental parotid lesions on F-18 FDG-PET can mimic distant metastasis of underlying malignancy. The prevalence and the clinico-pathologic findings of PET positive parotid lesions have not been known. We investigated how often incidental parotid lesions are found on clinical FDG-PET studies and what the clinico-pathologic characteristics of those parotid lesions are in the present study. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 3,344 cases of FDG-PET which had been obtained in our hospital from May 2003 to Dec 2006. The indications of FDG-PET were: evaluation of known/suspected cancer (n= 3,212) or screening of cancer in healthy subjects (n=132). Incidental parotid lesion on FDG-PET was defined as an un-expected FDG uptake in one of parotid glands which was not primary target lesion of current FDG-PET. FDG uptake was represented by maximum standardized uptake value (maxSUV). Final diagnosis was made by pathologic analysis or clinical follow-up assessment. Results: Fifteen (0.45% = 15/3,344) incidental parotid lesions were found and they were all benign lesions. The maxSUV ranged from 1.7 to 8.6 (mean${\pm}$s.d. = $3.7{\pm}1.9$). Final diagnoses of the incidental parotid lesions were; Warthin's tumor (n=2), pleomorphic adenoma (n=1), other un-specified benign lesion (n=1), and benign lesions under bases of imaging studies (n=3) and of clinical follow-up (n=8). Conclusion: All of incidentally found parotid lesions in clinical FDG-PET studies were confirmed as benign lesions with prevalence of 0.45%. Close follow up using PET or CT might be a reasonable approach for determining the nature of incidentally found parotid lesions.

Purpose: This study evaluates the association of estrogen receptor(ER), progesterone receptor(PR), Her-2, COX-2, and survivin with the clinicopathological features and outcomes in young Korean women with breast cancer using recently developed tissue microarray(TMA) technology. Materials and Methods: A cohort of 212 young patients with breast cancer diagnosed at the age of 45 years or younger from March 1994 to August 2005, were enrolled in this study. The age range of patients was $23{\sim}45$ years(median age, 39 years). The minimum and median follow-up periods were 24 months and 60 months, respectively. Serial sections of primary tumors were processed by the use of a TMA for immunohistochemical staining for five biomarkers. The correlation of these five biomarkers and the clinicopathological features and outcomes were analyzed by statistical methods. Results: The majority of the patients were stage T1(90 patients) or T2(101 patients), and 105 patients(49.5%) had an axillary node metastasis. The 5-year overall and relapse free survival rates for all of the patients were 90.4% and 82.3%, respectively, and 36 patients had a locoregional or distant metastasis as a first event. Positive expression of ER, PR, Her-2, COX-2, and survivin was determined in 38.2%, 45.3%, 25.9%, 41.5%, and 43.4%, of the tumor samples, respectively. Tumor stage, nodal status, age, as well as expression of ER, PR, and HER-2 status were significantly associated with the disease free survival rate. Tumor stage, nodal status, as well as expression of ER, PR, and HER-2 were significantly related with the overall survival rate. Expression of COX-2 and survivin were not single independent prognostic factors for the disease free and overall survival rate although co-expression of HER-2 and COX-2 had a tendency as a poor prognostic factor. By multivariate analysis, only T stage and lymph node status were significant prognostic factors, and ER status was a marginally significant prognostic factor(p=0.075). Conclusion: Expression of ER, PR and HER-2 were significant prognostic factors for the relapse free and overall survival rate. Expression of COX-2 and survivin were not prognostic factors for young women with breast cancer.

This study aims to track the longitudinal alteration pattern on the trabecular bone microarchitecture at tibial epiphysis induced by T-OA over time using in vivo micro computed tomography (${\mu}CT$). Ten SD rats were divided into control (n = 5) and T-OA (n = 5) groups. Anterior cruciate ligament transaction was performed for the T-OA group. The results showed that the alteration pattern on the trabecular bone microarchitecture at tibial epiphysis in the T.OA group was definitely different compared with that in the CON group from 0 to 8 weeks (approximately 4-16%, P > 0.05). In particular, a difference was observed in the bone formation and density distributions over time (from 0 or 4 to 8 weeks; approximately 5.15%, P < 0.05). An improved understanding of the alteration pattern on the trabecular bone microarchitecture at tibial epiphysis may assist in developing more targeted treatment interventions for T-OA.

This study was carried out to provide the basic information for the implementation of population quality policies by analyzing fetal life. The outcomes and process of all the pregnancies of women with spouses living in Gapyung-gun, Kyunggi province from November 3, 1993 through December 31, 1995 were analyzed. The results of the study are as follows: According to the fetal life table, the estimated probability of pregnancy outcome showed 53.5% of live birth, 14.5% of fetal death, 32.0% of induced abortion, which resulted in 46.5% of pregnancy wastage throughout gestation period. The curve of the estimated probability of pregnancy outcome by gestation weeks showed L shape in case of total pregnancy rate, induced abortion rate and fetal death rate. The estimated probability of fetal death was 21.9% in case that the induced abortion was excluded, which was 7.4% higher than the case that induced abortion was included. The expected duration of pregnancy was 22.9 weeks until the fourth week of gestation and then started to become the highest, 26.6 weeks at the tenth week. At the 11th week, it declined to decrease to 26.4 weeks. This is attributed to the fact that the pregnancy wastage including fetal death and induced abortion occurred in the early period of pregnancy. The establishment of appropriate policies to cope with this situation are needed.

손 제스처 인식을 위한 손 위치 검출 및 추적 알고리즘에 대한 많은 연구들이 이루어져 왔다. 검출된 손의 위치를 통한 사용자와 컴퓨터간의 인터랙션(Human Computer Interaction, HCI) 과정에서 손의 위치 좌표를 그대로 이용하는 방법은 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 이동 범위 내에서의 손의 위치 정보를 이용하여 컴퓨터상의 포인트를 효율적으로 컨트롤할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 손 위치 검출을 위해 깊이 센서를 이용하였으며 알고리즘의 효율성을 시험하기 위해 사용자의 손 움직임에 따른 포인트의 위치 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 추적되는 손의 위치를 이용해 효율적으로 포인트를 컨트롤함을 확인하였다.
