지난 몇년간 유방 초음파영상을 이용한 신호 및 영상처리 기술과 자동 영상 최적화 기술, 유방 종괴 자동 검출 및 분류 기술 등, 컴퓨터 보조 진단(computer-aided diagnosis, CAD)을 활용하는 연구들이 활발히 진행되어지고 있다. 컴퓨터진단기술이 개발될수록 암의 조기 발견이 정확하고 빠르게 진행되어 건강 보험과 환자의 검사 빙용을 줄일 수 있고 조직 검사에 대한 불안감을 없앨 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 논문에서는 GLCM(gray level co-occurrence matrix)을 사용하여 초음파 영상에서 종양의 정량적 분석을 진행하여 컴퓨터보조 진단에 활용 가능성을 실험하였다.

The primary market of acupuncture treatment is concentrated on disorders of the musculoskeletal system. This study researches the clinical use of the musculoskeletal system evaluation with a computer simulation. Two fields are examined - patient evaluation and patient treatment. In the field of evaluation, the simulation is used to evaluates the prognosis of medical treatment. In the field of treatment, the simulation is used to decide the most suitable way to perform surgery using the quantitative evaluation about various cases of surgical results.

Medical imaging is one of the most powerful tools for gaining information about internal organs and tissues. It is a challenging task to develop sophisticated image analysis methods in order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The objective of this paper is to develop a Computer Aided Diagnostics (CAD) scheme for Brain Tumour detection from Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) using active contour models and to investigate with several approaches for improving CAD performances. The problem in clinical medicine is the automatic detection of brain Tumours with maximum accuracy and in less time. This work involves the following steps: i) Segmentation performed by Fuzzy Clustering with Level Set Method (FCMLSM) and performance is compared with snake models based on Balloon force and Gradient Vector Force (GVF), Distance Regularized Level Set Method (DRLSE). ii) Feature extraction done by Shape and Texture based features. iii) Brain Tumour detection performed by various tree classifiers. Based on investigation FCMLSM is well suited segmentation method and Random Forest is the most optimum classifier for this problem. This method gives accuracy of 97% and with minimum classification error. The time taken to detect Tumour is approximately 2 mins for an examination (30 slices).

Objectives : To qualify or enhance the diagnostic ability of students in Oriental Medicine, so called standardized patients are ideal modality, but because it's a man-based method, more convenient tools are required. Computer-based diagnostic ability test program gives effective way for the very purpose. So we made a pilot software evaluating Pattern Identification ability in Oriental Medicine. Methods and Materials : The pilot software was coded with Microsoft's EXCEL VBA. 87 names of Zheng (Symptom Pattern) and 674 names of symptom (including some signs) are adopted from the former standardization works conducted by Korean Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM) in 1996. Results : Compared with some manned modalities to test Pattern Identification ability, the test by this software shows superiority in convenience and objectivity. Conclusion : This software is world's first program to perform computer-based evaluation of Pattern Identification in Oriental Medicine, and it gives effective way to complement both written test and manned clinical performance test (CPX).

Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT)의 발전은 환자의 해부학적 구조를 3차원적으로 분석할 수 있게 하였다. Surgical guide는 CBCT와 CAD/CAM, 임플란트 진단 소프트웨어의 접목을 통해 미래의 보철물을 계획하고 적합한 위치에 임플란트를 식립할 수 있게 한다. Guided surgery를 통해 해부학적 구조물에 대한 침범을 최소한으로 줄일 수 있고 보다 재현성 있는 치료계획의 설정이 가능하다. 본 증례는 전악 무치악 환자에게 surgical guide를 이용하여 다수의 임플란트를 식립한 증례로 수술시간을 단축시킬 수 있었으며 임시 보철물을 미리 제작함으로써 보다 쉽게 immediate loading을 시행할 수 있었다. 환자는 개선된 안모와 저작기능에 만족하였다.

A combustion flame visualization system, which is used as an engine diagnostics tool, was developed in order to understand the combustion reaction mechanism in the development stage for S.I. engines. The measurement system consists of an I-CCD camera and a computer-aided image processing system. By using optically accessible engine system, the flame structure was analyzed from the acquired graylevel image and the direction of flame propagation (shape of flame) has been measured to understand combustion phenomena. And combustion radical which involves combustion information were measured. As a result, strong relation between combustion radicals intensity ratio and air excess ratio was found.

"Artificial Intelligence+" is a key strategic direction that has garnered the attention of several global medical device manufacturers and internet companies. Large hospitals are actively involved in different types of medical AI research and cooperation projects. Medical AI is expected to create numerous opportunities and advancements in areas such as medical imaging, computer aided diagnostics and clinical decision support, new drug development, personal healthcare, pathology analysis, and genetic disease prediction. On the contrary, some studies on the limitations and problems in current conditions such as lack of clinical validation, difficulty in performance comparison, lack of interoperability, adversarial attacks, and computational manipulations are being published. Overall, the medical AI field is in a paradigm shift. Regarding international standardization, the work on the top 10 standardization issues is witnessing rapid progress and the competition for standard development has become fierce.

With the rapid developments in nanotechnology, an increasing number of nanomaterials have been applied in various aspects of our lives. Recently, pharmaceutical nanotechnology with numerous advantages has growingly attracted the attention of many researchers. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are nanomaterials that are widely used in many fields including diagnostics, therapeutics, drug-delivery systems, electronics, cosmetics, sunscreens, coatings, ceramic products, paints, and food additives, due to their magnetic, catalytic, semiconducting, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, ultraviolet-protective, and binding properties. The present review focused on the recent research works concerning role of ZnO-NP on inflammation. Several studies have reported that ZnO-NP induces inflammatory reaction through the generation of reactive oxygen species by oxidative stress and production of inflammatory cytokines by activation of nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ ($NF-{\kappa}B$). Meanwhile, other researchers reported that ZnO-NP exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines and the activation of $NF-{\kappa}B$, caspase-1, $I{\kappa}B$ $kinase{\beta}$, receptor interacting protein2, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase. Previous studies reported that size and shape of nanoparticles, surfactants used for nanoparticles protection, medium, and experimental conditions can also affect cellular signal pathway. This review indicated that the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of ZnO-NP was determined by the nanoparticle size as well as various experimental conditions. Therefore, the author suggests that pharmaceutical therapy with the ZnO-NP is one of the possible strategies to overcome the inflammatory reactions. However, further studies should be performed to maximize the anti-inflammatory effect of ZnO-NP to apply as a potential agent in biomedical applications.
