홍채 인식은 고유한 홍채 패턴을 이용하여 신원을 확인하는 생체 인식 기술이다. 일반적으로 홍채인식에서 는 홍채 직경이 200 화소(pixel) 이상 되는 고해상도 홍채 영상을 사용하며, 이런 경우 인식률 감소 없이 정확한 홍채 인식 결과를 얻는다고 알려져 있다. 이를 위해 기존의 홍채 인식 시스템들은 줌렌즈 카메라를 사용하지만, 이러한 카메라는 홍채 인식기의 가격과 크기를 증가시키는 요인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 줌렌즈 카메라의 사용 없이 저해상도로 취득된 홍채 영상에서의 인식 정확도를 향상할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 방법과 비교하여 다음과 같은 두 가지 장점을 갖는다. 첫째, 기존의 연구에서는 홍채 직경이 200 화소 이하인 저해상도 영상에서의 홍채 인식 성능 감소에 대한 정량적 분석이 진행된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 홍채 영상의 초점 정도, 눈꺼풀 및 속눈썹 가림 정도의 영향을 배제하고, 홍채 영상의 크기 변화에 따른 인식율의 저하정도를 정량적으로 파악하였다. 둘째, 한 장의 저해상도 홍채 영상을 고해상도 영상으로 복원하기 위해 홍채 영역의 에지 방향에 따라 개별적으로 다르게 학습된 다중 다층 퍼셉트론을 적용함으로써, 복원된 영상에서의 인식 정확도를 향상시켰다. 원 영상대비 6%만큼의 크기로 축소한 저해상도 홍채 영상을 고해상도 영상으로 복원한 결과, 제안하는 방법에 의한 홍채 인식의 EER이 기존의 이중선형보간법에 의한 EER보다 0.133% (1.485% - 1.352%) 만큼 감소됨을 알 수 있었다.

지난 여러 해 동안 치매에서 나타나는 안구운동기능부전에 대해 수많은 논문이 발표되었다. 안구운동검사는 뇌의 기능을 평가하는 비침습적인 검사이며, 치매와 연관된 뇌의 이상을 밝혀내는데 유용한 방법이다. 저자는 치매와 연관된 안구운동이상에 대한 지금까지의 여러 연구들을 고찰해 보았다. 알쯔하이머병에서는 신속안구운동의 잠재기가 증가하고 정확도가 감소하며 항신속안구운동의 오류가 증가 한다. 전측두엽 치매 환자에서는 반사성 신속안구운동 억제의 장애와 항신속안구운동 잠재기와 오류 증가 소견이 나타난다. 그리고 헌팅톤병에서는 수의적인 신속안구운동의 시작 지연, 느린 신속안구운동, 항신속안구운동의 오류와 잠재기 증가 소견이 나타난다. 파킨슨병 치매와 루이체 치매 환자에서는 반사성 신속안구운동과 복합성 신속안구운동 실행 장애가 보고되었다. 크로이츠펠트-야콥 병에 관한 연구는 많지 않으며, 안구운동장애는 치매 증상이 명확해진 이후인 질병의 말기에 나타나고, 이차적으로 소뇌와 전정기관을 침범하게 된다고 한다. 진행성 핵상마비에서는 느린 신속안구운동과 측정저하 신속안구운동이 수직방향주시 장애가 오기 이전에 나타나는 경우가 많다. 수의적인 눈꺼풀 운동의 기능부전도 진행성 핵상마비의 특징적인 증상이다. 결론적으로 치매 환자들은 다양한 비정상적인 안구운동장애를 나타내며 이는 피질, 피질하 기능부전과 연관되어 있다. 치매 환자의 안구운동장애에 대한 다음 단계 연구는 치매에서 나타나는 임상적인 증상이 뇌의 어떤 부위 이상 때문에 발생하는지를 좀 더 명확하게 밝히는 것이 될 것이다.

In order to improve and supplement the shielding method for electron beam treatment, we designed a patient-specific shielding method using a 3D printer, and evaluated the usefulness by comparing and analyzing the distribution of electron beam doses to adjacent organs. In order to treat 5 cm sized superficial tumors around the lens, a CT Simulator was used to scan the Alderson Rando phantom and the DICOM file was converted into an STL file. The converted STL file was used to design a patient-specific shield and mold that matched the body surface contour of the treatment site. The thickness of the shield was 1 cm and 1.5 cm, and the mold was printed using a 3D printer, and the patient customized shielding block (PCSB) was fabricated with a cerrobend alloy with a thickness of 1 cm and 1.5 cm. The dosimetry was performed by attaching an EBT3 film on the surface of the Alderson Rando phantom eyelid and measuring the dose of 6, 9, and 12 MeV electron beams on the film using four shielding methods. Shielding rates were 83.89%, 87.14%, 87.39% at 6, 9, and 12 MeV without shielding, 1 cm (92.04%, 87.48%, 86.49%), 1.5 cm (91.13%, 91.88% with PSCB), 92.66%) The shielding rate was measured as 1 cm (90.7%, 92.23%, 88.08%) and 1.5 cm (88.31%, 90.66%, 91.81%) when the shielding block and the patient-specific shield were used together. PCSB fabrication improves shielding efficiency over conventional shielding methods. Therefore, PSCB may be useful for clinical application.

Purpose: For facial reconstruction, skin color match is crucial to achieve great aesthetic result. Forehead flap and full thickness skin graft have been used for many years to reconstruct facial defect. Their results are aesthetically valuable with remarkable resemblance and harmony of the skin color between donor and recipient sites. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the aesthetic outcome of the two methods as the analysis of skin color match. Methods: From January 1995 to December 2005, ten forehead flaps and ten full thickness skin grafts were performed. The reconstructed areas of forehead flaps were five noses and five eyelids. Recipient sites of full thickness skin grafts were seven eyelids, two noses and one forehead. In order to obtain the objective validity, the skin color of flap(or graft) and the recipient sites were measured by chromameter. The skin colors were quantified according to a three-dimensional coordinate system used in chromameter, L*(brightness), a*(redness), and b*(yellowness).Results: There was no significant color difference between forehead flap site and adjacent skin in all color values. On the other hand, the L* and b* values of graft sites were significantly lower than those of the adjacent skins. The a* values of graft sites were higher than those of the adjacent skins. Conclusion: This study reveals that skin color match of forehead flap is greater than that of full thickness skin graft. As forehead flap has adequate volume and great color match, it can be useful to reconstruct deep facial defect such as nasal defect. On the other hand, full thickness skin graft can be used for superficial defect like partial eyelid defect.

Purpose: Even in a small levator resection for blepharoptosis, 10 ~ 13 mm of $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle and levator aponeurosis is resected. To solve the problem, $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle was detached from the superior tarsal border and conjunctiva, and the muscle with overlying levator aponeurosis was advanced on the upper tarsus as a composite flap. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle - levator aponeurosis complex advancement technique for the correction of blepharoptosis. Methods: Between 2003 and 2008, 107 patients(183 eyes) underwent the advancement procedure of the $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle - levator aponeurosis composite flap for blepharoptosis. The advanced composite flap was fixed 3 mm below the superior tarsal border and 2 ~ 3 mm of distal flap stump was left after trimming up to 5 mm. The results of the operations were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the patients was 35.2 years and 83 patients(145 eyes) were followed up for a mean of 16.7 months. 128 eyes (88.3%) showed a normal level of upper eyelid margin (MRD1 4.1 ~ 5.0 mm) or less than 1 mm ptosis (MRD1 3.1 ~ 4.0 mm). 10 eyes(6.9%) showed 1 ~ 2 mm ptosis (MRD1 2.1 ~ 3.0 mm). 7 eyes(4.8%) showed more than 2 mm ptosis which required secondary correction. About 80% of the 183 eyes needed no trimming of the flap stump with 5 ~ 6 mm of composite flap advancement and 20% had about 3 mm of the flap stump trimmed with 8 ~ 9 mm of composite flap advancement(shortening of the levator complex). Conclusion: $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle - levator aponeurosis complex advancement technique offers several advantages: There is no, or minimal, sacrifice of the normally functioning $M{\ddot{u}}ller^{\prime}s$ muscle; it is more physiological; it is reproducible and it is predictable - with gratifying results for blepharoptosis.

목적: 본 연구에서는 각막 이심률과 RGP 렌즈의 중심안정위치와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 각막 이심률이 0.28~0.78인 각막 84안을 대상으로 구면 및 비구면 RGP 렌즈를 피팅 상태를 달리하여 착용시키고 각막에서의 중심안정위치를 초고속 카메라로 촬영하여 분석하였다. 결과: 구면과 비구면 RGP 렌즈의 수평방향 중심안정위치는 이심률이 작은 각막에서는 귀쪽으로의 치우쳐짐이 컸으나 이심률이 큰 경우는 각막 중심에 더 가까이 위치하였다. 구면 및 비구면 RGP 렌즈 모두 피팅 상태가 플랫할수록 이심률에 따른 중심안정위치의 차이가 커졌으며, 비구면 RGP 렌즈의 경우 각막 이심률이 작은 경우와 큰 경우 모두 중심안정위치의 차이가 구면 RGP 렌즈 보다 더 적었다. 구면 및 비구면 RGP 렌즈 착용 시 수직방향으로의 중심안정위치는 피팅 상태에 상관없이 모두 각막 중심을 기준으로 아래쪽에 위치하였으며 각막 이심률에 따른 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 그러나 이심률이 클수록 RGP 렌즈가 상안검에 맞닿는 경우가 많았다. 결론: 각막 이심률에 따라 구면 RGP 렌즈뿐만 아니라 비구면 RGP 렌즈의 중심안정위치가 달라졌으므로 RGP 렌즈의 피팅 및 제조 시에 이러한 점들이 고려되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

Purpose: Photogrammetry has been introduced as an alternative to direct measurement to obtain facial distances for a variety of anthropometric applications. The aim of this study is to establish morphological and functional value of an eye in Korean youths using specially designed computer software with digital photographic images. Methods: Authors measured anthropometry of an eye in Korean youths 1,449 individuals(622 males, 827 females) and analyzed stastically them. Results: The mean measurements are as follows. The diameter of cornea was $11.6{\pm}0.9mm$ in males and $11.3{\pm}0.9mm$ in females. The vertical dimension of palpebral fissure was $7.4{\pm}1.7mm$ in males and $8.2{\pm}1.6mm$ in females. The intercanthal width was $35.8{\pm}3.2mm$ in males and $34.4{\pm}2.9mm$ in females. The biocular width was $90.4{\pm}5.7mm$ in males and $87.4{\pm}5.3mm$ in females. The endocantion-superior margin of palpebral fissure distance was $12.7{\pm}1.4mm$ in males and $11.6{\pm}1.4mm$ in females. The horizontal dimension of palpebral fissure was $28.5{\pm}2.2mm$ in males and $27.4{\pm}1.9mm$ in females. The slant of palpebral fissure was $10.7{\pm}2.6^{\circ}$ in males and $11.3{\pm}3.0^{\circ}$ in females. The height of upper eyelid was $10.6{\pm}2.3mm$ in males and $10.7{\pm}2.3mm$ in females. The width of double fold was $2.0{\pm}0.7mm$ in males and $1.9{\pm}0.6mm$ in females. A double fold was seen in 21.9% of males and 44.9% of females. The most frequent shape of the double fold was type IV. The most common type of epicanthal fold was type III in both males and females. Conclusion: Photogrammetic measurement of large population using specially designed software could offer reliable data and these data could be useful reference for preoperative consultation, surgical planning and anthropometic study of eye.

Purpose: Traditional transcutaneous incision and transconjunctival incision methods are commonly used in the lower blepharoplasty. The transconjunctival method leaves no visible scars nor does it change the shape of lower eyelid contour and the surgical technique is not difficult. However removal of excess baggy skin is not possible through this method. Therefore, the transconjunctival incision method is useful only for patients who still have normal elasticity of the lower eyelids and fat that is protruding only anterocaudally. The Author will introduce a technique, which complements the limitations of these two methods mentioned above. Methods: The author combined the transconjunctival approach and lower blepharoplasty with only the excised skin flap method. This method does not go beyond the previous methods but does apply the advantages of them. Results: From March 2007 to October 2010, this new technique was performed in a total of 62 patients. Fat was removed and repositioned through transconjunctival incision. Drooped skin was excised as in the traditional blepharoplasty but only the skin flap was elevated. This prevents post-operative complications such as ectropion, sclera show, and deformation of the shape of the lower eyelids or under-resection of fat. All patients were satisfied with the post-operative appearance. Conclusion: The author was able to get satisfactory results while avoiding complications of traditional transcutaneous technique with this combined technique of the transconjunctival approach and the lower blepharoplasty method of skin flaps only.
