In this study, a complete 3D surface reconstruction method is proposed based on the concept that the vertices, of surface model can be completely matched to the unstructured point cloud. In order to generate the initial mesh model from the point cloud, the mesh subdivision of bounding box and shrink-wrapping algorithm are introduced. The control mesh model for well representing the topology of point cloud is derived from the initial mesh model by using the mesh simplification technique based on the original QEM algorithm, and the parametric surface model for approximately representing the geometry of point cloud is derived by applying the local subdivision surface fitting scheme on the control mesh model. And, to reconstruct the complete matching surface model, the insertion of isolated points on the parametric surface model and the mesh optimization are carried out. Especially, the fast 3D surface reconstruction is realized by introducing the voxel-based nearest-point search algorithm, and the simulation results reveal the availability of the proposed surface reconstruction method.

This study investigated the feasibility of gait recognition using points on the body in three-dimensional (3D) space based on comparisons of four different feature vectors. To obtain the point trajectories on the body in 3D, gait motion data were captured from 10 participants using a 3D motion capture system, and four shoes with different heel heights were used to study the effects of heel height on gait recognition. Finally, the recognition rates were compared using four methods and different heel heights.

In this paper, we introduce motion artifact reduction algorithm for interleaved MRI using an advanced 3D approximation algorithm. The motion artifact framework of this paper is data corrected by post-processing with a new 3-D approximation algorithm which uses data structure for each voxel. In this study, we simulate and evaluate our algorithm using Shepp-Logan phantom and T1-MRI template for both scattered dataset and uniform dataset. We generated motion artifact using random generated motion parameters for the interleaved MRI. In simulation, we use image coregistration by SPM12 (https://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/) to estimate the motion parameters. The motion artifact correction is done with using full dataset with estimated motion parameters, as well as use only one half of the full data which is the case when the half volume is corrupted by severe movement. We evaluate using numerical metrics and visualize error images.

To extend the application of digital technology to the replication of artifacts, meticulous details of the process and the diversity of three-dimensional (3D) printing output materials need to be supplemented. Thus, in this study, a bronze mirror with Hwangbichangcheon inscription was digitalized by 3D scanning, converted into a voxel model, and virtual conservation treatment was performed using a haptic device. Furthermore, the digital mold of the bronze mirror completed by Boolean modeling was printed using a 3D sand-printer. Such contactless replication based on digital technology reflects the stability, precision, expressivity, collectivity, durability, and economic feasibility of artifacts. Its application can be further extended to cultural products as well as such areas as education, exhibition, and research. It is expected to be in high demand for metal artifacts that require casting. If empirical studies through experimental research on casting are supplemented in the future, it could extend the application of digital technology-based contactless replication methods.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 자화감수성 영상 (SWI)에 나타난 정상 노인의 뇌조직을 픽셀 별로 분석하기 위해 사용되는 다듬질 (smoothing)의 핵심 크기 효과를 보는 것이다. 대상과 방법: 이십 명의 정상 지원군 (평균 나이${\pm}$ 표준 편차 = $67.8{\pm}6.09$세, 여 14명, 남 6명) 이 실험에 대한 동의와 함께 본 연구에 참여하였다. 이 지원군 각각의 자화감수성 영상을 만들기 위해 일차원 혈류흐름 보상 삼차원 경사자장 에코 시퀀스를 이용해 크기과 위상 영상을 얻었고, 영상 처리와 영상 내 조직 분할에 사용되는 자화준비 급속획득 경사자장 에코 (MPRAGE) 시퀀스를 이용한 삼차원 시상면 T1 강조영상을 얻었다. 자화감수성 영상은 다시 위상영상을 이용하여 상자성 (paramagnetic) 물질의 존재 여부를 강조하는 PSWI (위상 영상에서 양수 값을 강조한 자화감수성 영상)과 반자성 (diamagnetic) 물질의 존재 여부를 강조하는 NSWI (위상 영상의 음수 값을 강조한 자화감수성 영상) 영상을 만들었다. 오직 뇌조직 부분만 나타나도록 조직이 아닌 부분을 차폐 (masking) 하는 과정을 거쳤다. 마지막으로 뇌조직 PSWI와 NSWI는 등방성의 0, 2, 4, 8 mm의 다듬질 핵심 크기를 이용하여 다듬질 되었다. 또한 각각의 다듬질 핵심 크기로 다듬질된 PSWI와 NSWI를 쌍 비교 t검정을 실행하여 각 픽셀 별로 비교하였다. 결과: 통계 분석의 중요도는 다듬질의 핵심 크기가 커질수록 증가하였고, 영상의 시그널 세기는 NSWI가 PSWI보다 컸다. 또한 영상의 픽셀 별 비교 분석에 가장 최적화 된 다듬질의 핵심 크기는 4였으며 쌍 비교 t검정 결과 뇌의 양쪽에서 차이가 난 뇌 조직의 위치와 범위는 뇌의 여러 지역에서 발견되었다. 결론: 상자성 물질을 강조한 PSWI는 자화감수성이 높은 뇌 여러 영역의 시그널 크기를 감소시켰다. 부분적인 부피효과와 큰 혈관의 기여도를 최소화 하기 위해서는 뇌 조직만 뽑아낸 자화감수성 영상의 복셀 별 분석이 사용되어야 하겠다.

Purpose: To compare the depiction of brain metastases on contrast-enhanced images with 7.0 tesla (T) and at 1.5T MRI. Materials and Methods: Four consecutive patients with brain metastases were scanned on 7.0T whole-body scanner and 1.5T MRI. A 3D T1-weighted gradient echo sequence (3D T1-GRE) at 1.5T (voxel size = $0.9{\times}0.9{\times}1.5mm^3$ after double-dose, gadoterate meglumine, Gd-DOTA) was compared to a 7.0T 3D T1-GRE sequence (voxel size = $0.4{\times}0.4{\times}0.8mm^3$, single-dose Gd-DOTA) in four patients after a 5 minute delay. The number of contrast-enhancing metastases in MPRAGE images was compared in each patient by two radiologists in consensus. We measured contrast ratio of enhancing brain metastases and white matter in 1.5T and 7.0T. Results: In all four patients 7.0T 3D T1-GRE images after single-dose Gd-DOTA and 1.5T after double-dose Gd-DOTA depicted 11 brain metastases equally. In the quantitative analysis of contrast ratios of enhancing brain metastases and white matter, the 1.5T 3D T1-GRE after double-dose showed an increased contrast ratio compared to 7.0T 3D T1-GRE after single-dose ($0.961{\pm}0.571$ versus $0.885{\pm}0.494$; n = 11 metastases). But this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.711). Conclusion: Our preliminary results indicate that 7.0T single-dose Gd-enhanced images were not different to 1.5T double-dose Gd-enhanced images for the detection of brain metastases.

Objective: To develop a method for generating three-dimensional (3D) digital models of the periodontal ligament (PDL) using 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction and to evaluate the accuracy and agreement of the 3D PDL models in the measurement of periodontal bone loss. Methods: CBCT data collected from four patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion prior to periodontal surgery were reconstructed at three voxel sizes (0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, and 0.3 mm), and 3D tooth and alveolar bone models were generated to obtain digital PDL models for the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. Linear measurements of the alveolar bone crest obtained during periodontal surgery were compared with the digital measurements for assessment of the accuracy of the digital models. The agreement and reliability of the digital PDL models were analyzed using intra- and interexaminer correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots. Results: Digital models of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth, PDL, and alveolar bone of the four patients were successfully established. Relative to the intraoperative measurements, linear measurements obtained from the 3D digital models were accurate, and there were no significant differences among different voxel sizes at different sites. High diagnostic coincidence rates were found for the maxillary anterior teeth. The digital models showed high intra- and interexaminer agreement. Conclusions: Digital PDL models generated by 3D CBCT reconstruction can provide accurate and useful information regarding the alveolar crest morphology and facilitate reproducible measurements. This could assist clinicians in the evaluation of periodontal prognosis and establishment of an appropriate orthodontic treatment plan.

이 연구는 기존의 두부방사선사진에서 사용되었던 계측점들을 3차원으로 재구성한 CT자료에서 다시 정의하고, 그 점들의 재현도를 조사함으로써. 재현성이 높고 해부학적 특징을 잘 표현하는 점들을 제안하고자 시행하였다. 3차원 영상에서 상대적 좌표 값을 구하기 위해 어느 4점도 같은 평면에 존재하지 않는 7개의 고정점을 선정하여 기준 좌표계를 설정하였다. V works 4.0 (Cybermed inc., Seoul. Korea)을 이용하여 고정점과 1점 설정을 위한 volume model (voxel size=4*4*2, threshold value-639)을 형성한 후 계측점을 선택하였으며. 나머지 점들은 모두 volume mode의 MPR 창을 이용하여 선정하였다 이렇게 선정한 계측점을 V 녁ㅎㄷ교 (Cybermed Inc.. Seoul, Korsa)로 이출하여 각 점의 상대적 공간 좌표 값을 구하였다 모든 자료는 2주 간격으로 2번 측정한 후 재현도를 계산하였다 각 계측점의 재현도는 x축 $0.13\~1.24mm$, y축 $0.23\~1.53mm$, z축 $0.15\~1.81mm$로 유사한 범위를 보였다 재현도가 우수한 것은 고정점을 이용한 1점이며 봉합에 의해 정의되는 J점의 재현도가 비교적 낮게 나타났다.

자기공명분광법은 극소의 체적내애서 핵자기공명에 의하여 생화학적 성질들을 고유한 주파수에 따라서 대사물질의 신호를 얻는다. 핵자기공명의 신호는 경사자장 혹은 주파수의 크기를 조절하여 체내의 조직성분을 충분히 포함하여 통과시킨다. 획득되어진 원래 데이터는 TE, TR 등의 물리적 상수값의 변화에 의해서 영향을 받는다. 최근의 펄스 시퀀스는 고해상도 3D CSI 및 SVS가 국소적인 체적내의 대사물질의 변화량을 정성적으로 감지하므로 임상데이터로 활용하기 위한 연구가 더욱 절실하다.
