본 논문에서는 x-ray 영상시스템의 영상을 획득하기 위하여 x-ray 발생기와 영상획득시스템 사이의 동기를 맞추어 주는 트리거 발생기를 연구분석 하였다. 무선 트리거 발생기는 디지털영상 획득시스템으로부터 영상획득의 시작을 지시할 수 있는 ACQ_START 신호와 영상획득의 끝을 알리는 ACC_END 신호를 발생시킬 수 있도록 설계하였다. 디지털 영상의 획득은 ACQ_START 신호와 ACQ_END 신호 사이의 시간동안에만 정확하게 이루어지며 무선 원격 x-ray 신호의 검출을 통하여 유선통신 프로토콜 없이 정확한 x-ray 영상의 획득이 가능하고 20 mAs 의 x-ray 레벨에서 3.5 line pair /mm 분해능을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

We developed a low cost digital X-Ray image capturing system using a CCD camera, instead of using the high cost image plate and image intensifier. In order to reduce the system volume, we directly made the dark box shorter than the previous model. Using the graphic language, we developed a program in order for post-processing the images captured by the CCD camera. This program improves the image resolving power.

A digital X-ray system was designed using photo-diode arrays. This system consists of the following five sub-units; (1) slit and driving system (2) X-ray detection system (3) data-conversion system (4) computer (5) image display system. Using this system, one can obtain scatter-free, high contrast, digitally formatted, high quality image, as compared with the conventional film-based X-ray system.

기존의 필름 X-Ray 및 CCD(Charge Coupled Device) 방식은 공간적인 제약과 진단 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 방식들의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 TFT-DXD 방식의 digital X-ray detector (DR1000C)를 이용한 고효율 의료 영상처리시스템을 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 DR1000C를 이용한 의료용 영상처리시스템은 기존의 X-Ray 방식에 비해 공간 효율성이 높고 진단 시간이 짧아진다는 장점이 있다. 영상처리시스템에서 획득한 영상을 고화질로 만들기 위해 1900*1200의 해상도를 가지는 LCD 컨트롤 드라이버를 개발하였고, 영상의 성능향상을 위해 enhancement unsharp masking 기법을 제안하여, 기존의 방식과 비교하였다.

Digital radiographic systems allow the implementation of a fully digital picture archiving and communication system (PACS), and provide the greater dynamic range of digital detectors with possible reduction of X-ray exposure to the patient. This article reviewed the basic physical principles of digital radiographic imaging system in dental clinics generally. Digital radiography can be divided into computed radiography (CR) and direct radiography (DR). CR systems acquire digital images using phosphor storage plates (PSP) with a separate image readout process. On the other hand, DR systems convert X-rays into electrical charges by means of a direct readout process. DR systems can be further divided into direct and indirect conversion systems depending on the type of X-ray conversion. While a direct conversion requires a photoconductor that converts X-ray photons into electrical charges directly, in an indirect conversion, lightsensitive sensors such as CCD or a flat-panel detector convert visible light, proportional to the incident X-ray energy by a scintillator, into electrical charges. Indirect conversion sensors using CCD or CMOS without lens-coupling are used in intraoral radiography. CR system using PSP is mainly used in extraoral radiographic system and a linear array CCD or CR sensors, in panoramic system. Currently, the digital radiographic system is an important subject in the dental field. Most studies reported that no significant difference in diagnostic performance was found between the digital and conventional systems. To accept advances in technology and utilize benefits provided by the systems, the continuous feedback between doctors and manufacturers is essential.

A digital X-ray system was developed using photo-diode arrays. Images were collected with 1,024x1,024x10 bit resolution and 0.5 sec acquisition time. An4 collected images were processed and restored using computer algorithms. For the normal and the patient, we obtained the digital X-ray images using the developed system.

X-ray laminography and DT(digital tomosynthesis) that can form a cross-sectional image of 3-D objects promise to be good solutions for inspecting interior defects of industrial products. The major factors of the digital tomosynthesis that influence on the quality of x-ray cross-sectional images are also discussed. The quality of images acquired from the DT system varies according to image synthesizing methods, the number of images used in image synthesizing, and X-ray projection angles. In this paper, a new image synthesizing method named 'log-root method' is proposed to get clear and accurate cross-sectional images, which can reduce both artifact and blurring generated by materials out of focal plane. To evaluate the quality of cross-sectional images, two evaluating criteria: (1) shape accuracy and (2) clearness in the cross-sectional image are defined. Based on this criteria, a series of simulations were performed, and the results show the superiority of the new synthesizing method over the existing ones such as averaging and minimum method.

현대 병원들은 보다 나은 의료서비스를 위해 디지털 시스템을 갖추고자 노력하고 있다. 하지만, 아직도 많은 부분은 아날로그 시스템과 Film 출력에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구는 차량 이동형 흉부 전용 간접 촬영기에 디지털 영상 변환 장치와 이에 연동되는 X-ray 발생장치의 제어 시스템, 출력 시스템을 디지털시스템으로 변환, 연동시켰으며, 획득한 영상을 간접 촬영 전용프로그램에서 편리하게 판독 할 수 있도록 설계하여 임상에 적용시켰다. 이러한 과정에서 발생되는 문제점을 현실적으로 해결하였으며, 방사선사 입장에서 업무의 효율성을 높이고자 몇 가지 프로그램을 개발 적용하였다. 향후 미래지향적인 디지털의료 영상 시스템을 갖추기 위해 각종 프로그램과 시스템과도 연동이 되도록 설계하여 임상에 적용하여 우수성을 입증하였다.

We developed a digital x-ray medical imaging system using commercially available amorphous silicon image sensor plate. The image readout could be accomplished within 3.5 sec after radiation exposure and be displayed on a monitor through computer interface. This system needs not the conventional x-ray films and film processors, and also provides digital radiographic images. This system is the fastest digital radiography system developed so far, and expected to replace many of the conventional x-ray film systems or digital radiography systems.
