The computational human phantom including major radiation sensitive organs at risk (OARs) can be used in the field of radiotherapy, such as the variation of secondary cancer risks caused by the radiation therapy and the effective dose evaluation in diagnostic radiology. The present study developed a Korean adult female voxel phantom, VKH-Woman, based on serially sectioned color slice images of Korean female cadaver. The height and weight of the developed female voxel phantom are 160 cm and 52.72 kg, respectively that are virtually close to those of reference Korean female (161 cm and 54 kg). The female phantom consists of a total of 39 organs, including 27 organs recommended in the ICRP 103 publication for the effective dose calculations. The female phantom composes of $261{\times}109{\times}825$ voxels (=23,470,425 voxels) and the voxel resolution is $1.976{\times}1.976{\times}2.0619mm^3$ in the x, y, and z directions. The VHK-Woman is provided as both ASCII and Binary data formats to be conveniently implemented in Monte Carlo codes.

The objective of this study is for development of the reference Korean female phantom, HDRK-Woman. The phantom was constructed by adjusting a Korean woman voxel phantom to the Reference Korean data. The Korean woman phantom had been developed based on the high-resolution color slice images obtained from an adult Korean female cadaver. There were a total of 39 organs including the 27 organs specified in ICRP 103 for effective dose calculation. The voxel resolution of the phantom was $1.976{\times}1.976{\times}2.0619\;mm^3$ and the voxel array size is $261{\times}109{\times}825$ in the x, y and z directions. Then, the voxel resolution was changed to $2.0351{\times}2.0351{\times}2.0747\;mm^3$ for adjustment of the height and total bone mass of the phantom to the Reference Korean data. Finally, the internal organs and tissue were adjusted using in-house software program developed for 3D volume adjustment of the organs and tissue. The effective dose values of HDRK phantoms were calculated for broad parallel photon beams using MCNPX Monte Carlo code and compared with those of ICRP phantoms.

인체 장기의 내부 구조를 학습하기 위해 많은 3 차원 인체영상관련 콘텐츠들이 소개되어 왔다. 하지만, 이러한 학습 콘텐츠들은 사실적인 색상을 표현하기 어려울 뿐만 아니라 사용자가 조작할 때 현실감이 떨어지기 때문에 해부도감과 같은 2 차원 학습 콘텐츠와 차별성이 적다. 본 논문에서는 사실적인 인체 색 정보를 가지고 있는 컬러 인체 데이터와 사용자의 동작을 인식하는 센서를 활용하여 몰입감 높은 체험형 가상 내시경 모의 훈련 시스템을 제안한다. 컬러 인체 데이터를 양안시 볼륨렌더링 하여 입체감을 높이고 동작인식 센서를 이용하여 사용자의 손동작으로 직접 가상 내시경 카메라를 조작하여 항행하도록 하였다. 제안한 시스템을 이용하여 다양한 인체 장기의 내부 구조를 사실적으로 표현할 수 있으며 이를 통해 의학정보 학습에 도움을 줄 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 2 대의 카메라로부터 입력된 스테레오 영상을 이용하여 가상캐릭터의 동작을 실시간으로 생성하는 방법에 대해 기술한다. 이 시스템은 동작자의 움직임을 캡쳐하기 위해 동작자의 좌, 우 전방에 동기화된 2 대의 컬러 CCD 카메라를 위치시킨다. 카메라로부터 입력된 스테레오 영상을 분석하여 신체의 중심이 되는 루트와 머리, 손, 발과 같은 end-effector의 2차원 특징점을 추출하고, 추출된 특징점들은 카메라의 사영행렬과 추적 알고리즘을 통해 3차원 위치를 생성한다. 생성된 루트와 end-effector 의 3 차원 위치정보는 노이즈 제거를 위한 필터링을 거친 후 역운동학 알고리듬에 적용하고, 인체 관절의 해부학적인 제약조건과 관절간의 상호 연관성 및 전 후 프레임간의 부드러운 연결 동작 생성을 고려하여 중간관절의 위치를 정밀하게 계산한다. 중간관절의 위치를 생성하므로 서 임의 동작자의 움직임에 대한 모든 관절의 정보를 획득할 수 있으며, 획득된 동작 데이터를 가상 캐릭터에 적용하므로 서 캐릭터의 움직임을 실시간으로 생성할 수 있다.

Non-rigid registration between different modality images with shape deformation can be used to diagnosis and study for inter-patient image registration, longitudinal intra-patient registration, and registration between a patient image and an atlas image. This paper proposes a hierarchical registration method using bodily tissue based segmentation for registration between color images and CT images of the Visible Human leg areas. The cross-sectional color images and the axial CT images are segmented into three distinctive bodily tissue regions, respectively: fat, muscle, and bone. Each region is separately registered hierarchically. Bounding boxes containing bodily tissue regions in different modalities are initially registered. Then, boundaries of the regions are globally registered within range of searching space. Local boundary segments of the regions are further registered for non-rigid registration of the sampled boundary points. Non-rigid registration parameters for the un-sampled points are interpolated linearly. Such hierarchical approach enables the method to register images efficiently. Moreover, registration of visibly distinct bodily tissue regions provides accurate and robust result in region boundaries and inside the regions.

Interests in human brain functionality and its connectivity have much frown up. DTI (Diffusion tensor imaging) has been known as a non-invasive MR) technique capable of providing information on water diffusion in tissues and the organization of white matter tract. Thus. It can provide us the information on the direction of brain fiber tract and the connectivity among many important cortical regions which can not be examined by other anatomical or functional MRI techniques. In this study. was used the 24 bit color coding scheme on the IDL platform in the windows environment to visualize the orientation of major fiber tracts of brain such as main association, projection, commissural fibers and corticospinal tracts. We additionally implemented a color coding scheme for each directional component and FA (fractional anisotropy), and used various color tables for them to be visualized more definitely. Consequently we implemented a fancy and basic technique to visualize the directional information of fiber tracts efficiently and we confirmed the feasibility of the 24 bit color coding scheme in DTI by visualizing main fiber tracts.

Recently a high-quality voxel model of a Korean adult male was constructed at Hanyang University by using very high resolution serially-sectioned anatomical images of a cadaver, which was provided by the Korean Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI). Most existing voxel phantoms are developed based on an individual in the supine posture. This study converted the HDRK-Man voxel model into surface model and adjusted the flattened back of the HDRK-Man to a normal shape in the upright posture using 3D graphic softwares such as $3D-DOCTOR^{TM}$, $Rapidform^{(R)}$2006, $Rhinoceros^{(R)}$4.0, $MAYA^{(R)}$8.5. The effective doses of adjusted model were compared with those of unadjusted model for some standard irradiation geometries (i.e., AP, PA, LLAT, RLAT). In general, the differences were not very large and, among those, the largest difference was found for the PA radiation geometry, as expected. These methodologies can be used for the development of various deformed posture models of HDRK-Man in the later stage of this project.
