Because the amount of radiation emerging from the thorax behind the lungs is often literally thousands of times that exiting behind the mediastinum, the dynamic range of X-ray chest image is very large. In order to solve the dynamic range problem, we propose a signal adaptive algorithm which enhances the local contrast and contracts the enhancement of quantum noise by local mean/valiance estimator.

본 논문에서는 3차원 동영상을 구현하기 위하여 인체에 유해한 방사능 피폭량이 부챗살 형태의 Fan Beam 보다 상대적으로 적은 원추형 Cone Beam CT 시스템을 설계하였다. 설계된 시스템은 X-ray가 조사된 각도에서 획득한 데이터를 영상처리부로 전송하고 영상을 구성하는 계산 속도를 빠르게 하기 위하여 초월함수가 보다 적은 3단계 회전 행렬을 이용하여 3차원 영상을 구현하는 회전 기반법을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 영상을 구성하는 시간단축을 통해 초당 3~5장의 영상을 얻음으로써 3차원 동영상을 실시간으로 구현하였다.

Dynamic X-ray (DXR) is a functional imaging technique that uses sequential images obtained by a flat-panel detector (FPD). This article aims to describe the mechanism of DXR and the analysis methods used as well as review the clinical evidence for its use. DXR analyzes dynamic changes on the basis of X-ray translucency and can be used for analysis of diaphragmatic kinetics, ventilation, and lung perfusion. It offers many advantages such as a high temporal resolution and flexibility in body positioning. Many clinical studies have reported the feasibility of DXR and its characteristic findings in pulmonary diseases. DXR may serve as an alternative to pulmonary function tests in patients requiring contact inhibition, including patients with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 or other infectious diseases. Thus, DXR has a great potential to play an important role in the clinical setting. Further investigations are needed to utilize DXR more effectively and to establish it as a valuable diagnostic tool.

In this paper, the imparct of X-ray and plasma process-induced-damages to La doped Lead Zirconate Titanate (PLZT, (Pb1-xLa)(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3) capacitor characteristics have been investigated from the viewpoint of gigabit scale dynamic random access memory (DRAM) applications. Plamsa damage causes asymmetric degradation on hysteresis characteristics of PLZT films. On the other hand, X-ray damage results in a symmetrical reduction of charge storage densities (Qc's) for both polarities. As La concentration increases in the films, the radiation hardness of PLZT films on X-ray and plasma exposures is improved. It is observed that the damaged devices are fully recovered by thermal annealing under oxygen ambient.

단계별 손상에 따른 취성재료의 동적손상메커니즘을 파악하고자 국내암석을 대상으로 스플릿 홉킨슨 압력바 시스템을 이용한 단계적 충격하중실험을 수행하였다. 실험시료 내 동적손상을 평가하기 위하여 고해상도 X-ray 단층촬영 시스템을 적용하였다. 그 결과 낮은 충격하중에서는 시료 내 전반적으로 축방향 균열 즉 수직균열이 발생하지만, 충격속도가 증가함에 따라 시료와 입사바 또는 전달바와의 접촉면에 구속효과가 발생하여 입사바와의 접촉면 중심부에 균열이 사라지는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 구속력을 적게 받는 시료의 원주표면 부근에서는 박리균열을 보였다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to introduce a method of obtaining the oscillation graphs of the dental x-ray tube heads relative to time using an accelerometer. Materials and Methods: An Accelerometer, Piezotron type 8704B25 (Kistler Instrument Co., Amherst, NY, USA) was utilized to measure the horizontal oscillation of the x-ray tube head immediately after positioning the tube head for an intraoral radiograph. The signal from the sensor was transferred to a dynamic signal analyzer, which displayed the magnitude of the acceleration on the Y-axis and time lapse on the X -axis. The horizontal oscillation of the tube head was measured relative to time, and the settling time was also determined on the basis of the acceleration graphs for 6 wall type, 5 floor-fixed type, and 4 mobile type dental x-ray machines. Results : The oscillation graphs showed that tube head movement decreased rapidly over time. The settling time varied with x-ray machine types. Wall-type x-ray machines had a settling time of up to 6 seconds, 5 seconds for fixed floor-types, and 1 I seconds for the mobile-types. Conclusion: Using an accelerometer, we obtained the oscillation graphs of the dental x-ray tube head relative to time. The oscillation graph with time can guide the operator to decide upon the optimum exposure moment after x-ray tube head positioning for better radiographic resolution.

The .Japanese sun observing satellite, Yohkoh, has been operational for five years and her scientific instruments are still in good condition. They have revealed ample of evidences that solar flares were triggered by magnetic reconnection, which was, for the first time, clearly indicated to take place in the solar corona. Cusp structures in soft X-rays and a new type of hard X-ray sources at the top of flaring loops have strongly supported the scenario originally proposed by C-S-H-KP. Nonthermal energy input in hard X-rays and thermal energy estimated from soft X-rays are fundamentally consistent with the interpretation of thick-target and chromospheric-evaporation models (Neupert effect). X-ray jets, another discovery of Yohkoh, were also associated with magnetic reconnection, as a result of the interaction of emerging fluxes with pre-existing coronal loops. Temperature structures of active regions, quiet sun, and coronal holes had very dynamic differential-emission-measure (DEM) distributions and high-temperature tails of DEM were considered to come from the contribution of flare-like activity.

With xeroradiography appearance, DR (Digital Radiography) system have been studying for X-ray detection using photoreceptor. Also detection method for receptor charge change have been developing variably. We use photoreceptor material of a-Se(Amorphous Selenium) with high DQE, high SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) and high transformation efficiency of X-ray signals into electrical signals. After a-Se receptor is uniformly charged by using Arc discharge, X-ray is exposed. Then a-Se receptor produce subtle charge variation and MOSFET detect charge variations. The detected signal pass A/D converter and signal processing by PC. As results, the initial voltage is 8V. It has wide dynamic range needed digital radiography system. In this study, we obtained data with changing kVp(tube potential voltage) and fixed 8mAs(tube current by exposure time) in X-ray system. However MOSFET detector for X-ray signal is not tested X-ray mAs variations. But if MOSFET detector is tested X-ray mAs variation and exactly calibrated multichannel is made and noise-reduction is done, suitable DR system readout method will be done.

방사선 진단에서 산란선 보정 그리드의 사용은 굴절되는 신호에 의한 영상의 왜곡을 방지할 수 있는 장점이 있는 반면, X-ray 영상에서 그리드 아티팩트를 발생시키는 부작용을 수반한다. 본 논문에서는 이산코사인변환(DCT: discrete cosine transform)을 사용하여, 그리드 라인을 개선하는 기법을 제안한다. X-ray 영상에서 그리드 라인은 피사체의 형태와 영상의 영역에 따라 서로 다른 특성을 보인다. 이러한 점을 해결하기 위하여 동적 분할 구조를 기반으로 DCT 변환을 적용하고, 개별 분할별로 적합한 필터전달함수를 설계하였다. 세부적으로 주파수 영역 데이터에 대하여 그리드 라인의 대역을 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 필터전달함수로 Kaiser 윈도우와 Butterworth 필터를 조합한 형태의 밴드스톱필터(BSF: band stop filter)를 구현하였다. 또한 블로킹 현상을 개선하기 위하여 다중구조의 영상으로부터 픽셀값을 결정하는 방법론을 제시하였다. 총 140개의 실제 X-ray 영상을 사용한 실험결과로부터 제안된 이론의 타당성을 실험적으로 평가하였다.
