반접현상(Aliasing)을 제거하기위한 방법 중 속도범위(velocity scale)를 높이는 방법은 동일 조건하에서 속도범위를 높여줌으로써 혈류의 방향이 반대로 나타나는 현상이 점차 사라지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Doppler angle을 $0^{\circ}$에 가깝게 하는 실험에서는 각도의 변화에 따른 스펙트럼 파형에서 유의한 차이점을 발견을 하지 못했다. 실제 초음파 검사(Ultrasonography)를 시행할 때는 검사의 편의성과 신속성, 정확성을 고려해서 속도범위에 변화를 주어 검사함으로써 보다 정확한 검사가 시행되리라고 본다. 또한 Doppler Angle에 따라 혈류속도는 기하학적으로 증가하였으며, $70^{\circ}$ 이상에서는 측정불가능 할 정도로 수치가 급상승하여 혈류속도가 Doppler Angle에 크게 의존한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 혈류의 방향에 따른 실험에서는 입사각이 $60^{\circ}$ 이상에서 오차범위가 증가하였고, $70^{\circ}$ 이상에서는 매우 큰 차이를 보였다. 따라서 입사각은 $60^{\circ}$ 이하가 적당하다고 보며, 사지 혈관(extremity vessel)의 혈류속도를 구하는 데 있어서 Doppler 각도는 $45^{\circ}$에서 $60^{\circ}$가 적절한 것으로 사료된다.

Ultrasound imaging is a widely used tool for visualizing human body's internal organs and quantifying clinical parameters. Due to its advantages such as safety, non-invasiveness, portability, low cost and real-time 2D/3D imaging, diagnostic ultrasound industry has steadily grown. Since the technology advancements such as digital beam-forming, Doppler ultrasound, real-time 3D imaging and automated diagnosis techniques, there are still a lot of demands for image quality improvement, faster and accurate imaging, 3D color Doppler imaging and advanced functional imaging modes. In order to satisfy those demands, mathematics should be used properly and effectively in ultrasound imaging. Mathematics has been used commonly as mathematical modelling, numerical solutions and visualization, combined with science and engineering. In this article, we describe a brief history of ultrasound imaging, its basic principle, its applications in obstetrics/gynecology, cardiology and radiology, domestic-industrial products, contributions of mathematics and challenging issues in ultrasound imaging.

The effect of air entrainment in twin-fluid spray structure is investigated experimentally by varing the amount of itemizing air. The air entrainment is expected to affect on droplet size and velocity, droplet number density, turbulent kinetic energy and vorticity. PDA(Phase Doppler Anemometer) and PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) system are used to measure those important factors in analyzing spray structure. The results show that spray structure consists of three distinctive regions ; the atomizing region near nozzle, characterizing strong convective effect, the central core region where droplets are accelerated, and the spray sheath region where droplets are decelerated due to air entrainment. The local air entrainment rate is largest near nozzle, characterizing strong turbulent kinetic energy and vorticity but deceases along axial distance.

A new laser diode range-finding speedometer is proposed, which is modulated by a pair of positive and negative triangular pulse current superimposed on a dc current. Since a target velocity is directly obtained form a pure Doppler beat frequency measured during the non-modulation period, the new sensor is free from the difficulties due to the critical velocity encountered in the previous sensor. Furthermore, the different amplitude of the two triangular pluses are so adjusted that the measurable range using only one laser head is greatly expanded to 10cm through 150cm, which is about two times that of the previous sensor. The measurement accuracy for velocity of .+-.6mm/s through .+-.20mm/s and for range is about 1%, and 2%, respectively. Because the new sensor can be operated automatically using a microcomputer, it will be useful for application of a 3-D range image measurement of a slowly moving object.

This paper concerns a method for micro-wave imaging. The image reconstruction of a perfect conducting cylinder by phase and amplitude measurement using the X-Band multifrequency is presented troll the simulated data. The high degree of range resolution is achieved using large signal band-width and cross-range resolution is obtained by doppler processing. The comparison of image reconstruction between range doppler processing and circular convolution algorithm is also shown.

본 논문에서는 FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 기반 실시간 영상 형성을 위해 RDA(Range Doppler Algorithm)의 GPU 가속 커널을 개발하였다. Host와 GPU device 사이의 데이터 전송 시간을 최소화하기 위해 pinned 메모리를 사용하였고, 데이터의 전송 횟수를 최소화하기 위해 모든 RDA 연산을 GPU에서 수행하도록 커널을 구성하였다. FMCW 드론 SAR 실험을 통해 데이터셋를 획득하였고, intel i7-9700K CPU, 32GB RAM과 Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU 환경에서 GPU의 가속 효과를 측정하였다. Host-device간 데이터 전송 시간을 포함했을 경우 CPU 대비 최대 3.41배 가속된 것으로 측정되었고, 데이터 전송 시간을 포함하지 않고 연산의 가속 효과만을 측정했을 때, 최대 156배 가속 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

For prompt gamma ray imaging for biomedical applications and environmental radiation monitoring, we propose herein a multiple-scattering Compton camera (MSCC). MSCC consists of three or more semiconductor layers with good energy resolution, and has potential for simultaneous detection and differentiation of multiple radio-isotopes based on the measured energies, as well as three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the radio-isotope distribution. In this study, we developed an analytic simulator and a 3D image generator for a MSCC, including the physical models of the radiation source emission and detection processes that can be utilized for geometry and performance prediction prior to the construction of a real system. The analytic simulator for a MSCC records coincidence detections of successive interactions in multiple detector layers. In the successive interaction processes, the emission direction of the incident gamma ray, the scattering angle, and the changed traveling path after the Compton scattering interaction in each detector, were determined by a conical surface uniform random number generator (RNG), and by a Klein-Nishina RNG. The 3D image generator has two functions: the recovery of the initial source energy spectrum and the 3D spatial distribution of the source. We evaluated the analytic simulator and image generator with two different energetic point radiation sources (Cs-137 and Co-60) and with an MSCC comprising three detector layers. The recovered initial energies of the incident radiations were well differentiated from the generated MSCC events. Correspondingly, we could obtain a multi-tracer image that combined the two differentiated images. The developed analytic simulator in this study emulated the randomness of the detection process of a multiple-scattering Compton camera, including the inherent degradation factors of the detectors, such as the limited spatial and energy resolutions. The Doppler-broadening effect owing to the momentum distribution of electrons in Compton scattering was not considered in the detection process because most interested isotopes for biomedical and environmental applications have high energies that are less sensitive to Doppler broadening. The analytic simulator and image generator for MSCC can be utilized to determine the optimal geometrical parameters, such as the distances between detectors and detector size, thus affecting the imaging performance of the Compton camera prior to the development of a real system.

Ultrasound sonography(US) is used to evaluate various diseases of maxillofacial region including salivary glands, soft tissue and jaw lesions because of easy accessibility and no hazard of ionizing radiation. Also, US can offer dynamic study showing real-time images during diagnostic or surgical procedure. US images provide accurate information about the internal features of lesions on the jaw prior to surgical treatment. Doppler images are used to visualize the vascular distribution of the lesions and to provide additional information to enhance diagnostic value. Nevertheless, the clinical application of US imaging is limited in the dental field. This is due to the lack of knowledge about the US image and the image characteristics of the anatomical structures. It is necessary to evaluate the diagnostic value of US and evaluate its usefulness by looking at clinical cases using US images. Therefore, US imaging may be recommended as an assistant image in evaluating jaw lesions. US images provided accurate information about the internal structure of lesions on the jaw prior to surgical treatment, and diagnostic value was enhanced by visualizing the vascular distribution of the lesion using doppler imaging.

In the analysis of the mass distribution and SMD(Sauter Mean Diameter), planar laser imaging technique is a convenient and useful one when compared to the mechanical pattemator or PDPA (Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer). But recorded signals at cameras and intensity of laser are distorted by attenuation. Using experimental datum and assumptions, we study measurement errors due to attenuation in plannar image technique.
