Purpose: To describe the newly developed Film image transfer system (FITS) for proper positioning of the orthodontic mini-implant in the narrow interdental space and considerations for better application. Materials and Methods: A patient who was planning to have orthodontic mini-implant treatment on the posterior maxilla was recruited to assess the feasibility of FITS. Dental radiographic film and bite record was taken. And then the film image was transferred on the photographic emulsion coated model using transfer light through film projector (enlarger). After exposing the photo emulsion coating on the model, the image was developed with a working solution for a paper developer and fixed. The surgical guide for the mini-implant was fabricated from the transported FITS data. Results: The completed surgical guide was easily placed intraorally, and allowed a simple and rapid placement of the mini-implant. The site of the implant placement was accurate as planned position. Conclusion: In the reported case, The FITS technique represents an effort to minimize risk to the patient and produce consistently good results based upon accurate information about the anatomy of the implant site.

비정질 실리콘 방사선 촬영기와 기존 X-ray filmrh과의 영상질 비교를 통하여 시스템의 성능을 평가하였다. 다양한 영상질 평가를 위하여 MTF (Modulation Transfer Function), NPS (Noise Power Spectrum), Contrast를 측정하여 계산하였다. 실험 결과 DR의 MTF는 기존 film-screen system과 유사하였다. Noise 특성은 두 시스템 모두 quantum noise가 주를 이뤘으며, 특히 DR 에서는 전기적인 noise가 발견되었다. 또한 우수한 sensitivity 특성과 영상처리를 통하여 DR 시스템이 기존의 film-screen 시스템보다 놀은 대조도를 보였다. 이와 같이 DR에서는 기존 film-screen 시스템과 유사한 해상도와 영상처리를 통해 같은 촬영조건에서도 향상된 대조도의 영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 의학적 활용과 관련된DR 시스템의성능에 대한 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

디지털 방사선 검출기의 성능을 측정하기 위해 변조전달할수(Modulation Transfer Function)을 측정하여 기존 방사선 영상 시스템인 필름/스크린과 비교하였다. 제작된 디지털 방사선 검출기는 TFT 패널위에 진공 증착법을 통해 비정질 셀레늄이 코팅되었다. 비교 측정물이 감도 400의 필름/스크린은 아날로그 방식의 방사선 검출기로서 현재 임상에서 이용되고 있는 필름이다. Square wave & slit 측정법을 통해 두 시스템의 변조전달함수를 측정하였다. 필름/스핀린의 반치폭(FWHM)은 357㎛(1.4 lp/mm at 50% spatial frequency)으로 측정되었으며, 디지털 방사선 검출 시스템은 200㎛(2.5 lp/mm at 50%)였다. 영상의 표현성능 평가의 결과 디지털 방사선 시스템은 필름 시스템보다 높은 것으로 나타났다.

We proposed the two-dimensional (2D) / three-dimensional (3D) convertible modified integral imaging system using functional polarizing film named $imazer^{TM}$, which transfer or scatter the incident light ray according to the polarizing direction of ray. When the incident light rays transfer to $imazer^{TM}$, the rays generate 3D image through the process of the modified integral imaging system. However, the scattered light rays generate 2D image through the simple backlight scheme when the incident rays are scattered by the film. The proposed method can be implemented the partial 3D display system without any mechanical movements. In this paper, we propose and verify our system using some basic experiments and its results.

The paper describes the results of an experimental investigation of the heat transfer rate on the endwall surface within the plane turbine cascade passage and includes the effect of the heat transfer for the two different boundary layer thicknesses and Reynolds numbers. The limiting streamlines on the endwall surface have been visualized by the oil film method in order to compare with the endwall heat transfer. The hue-capturing method using the termochromatic liquid crystals with great spatial resolution has been used to provide the local distribution of the endwall heat transfer coefficients. Because the detailed contours of the local heat transfer coefficients over the entire endwall can be obtained from the hue-capturing method, it has been possible to obtain information on the endwall heat transfer within the plane turbine cascade passage from these heat transfer contours.

본 논문은 현재 임상에서 사용되고 있는 비정질 셀레늄을 이용한 평판형 X선 영상 검출기를 통해 획득된 영상의 변조전달함수(MTF)에 대한 정량적인 값을 도출하였다. 영상 질(quality)의 주요변수인 MTF의 측정은 먼저 test pattern 영상을 획득한 다음, contrast method를 이용하여 공간주파수(spatial frequency)에서의 line profile을 디지털 값으로 획득하여 MTF를 계산하였다. 측정 결과, test pattern 영상에서 3.0 lp/mm에서 36.1%의 MTF 값을 나타냈으며, 종래의 필름 영상보다 약 2배 높은 해상력을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 측정된 값은 비정질 셀레늄을 이용한 직접방식의 디지털 방사선 검출기의 임상적 사용가치가 충분함을 뒷받침 할 수 있는 기초 자료로서 제공될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Experiments have been conducted to determine the flow and heat transfer characteristics for a two-dimensional turbulent wall attaching offset jet at different oblique angles to a flat surface. The distributions of the wall static pressure coefficient and time-averaged reattachment position for various offset ratios and oblique angles have been measured. The local Nusselt number distributions on the plate surface were also measured using liquid crystal as a temperature indicator. The new hue-capturing technique utilizing a true color image processing system was used to accurately determine the temperature of the liquid crystal. The experiments were carried out at Reynolds number, Re (based on D) of from 7300 to 21,300 with offset ratio, H/D from 2.5 to 10, and oblique angle, .alpha. from 0 deg. to 400 deg..

Objective : Neuroimaging data are of paramount importance in making correct diagnosis. We herein evaluate the clinical usefulness of image transfer using cellular phones to facilitate neurological diagnosis and decision-making. Methods : Selected images from CT, MRI scans, and plain films obtained from 50 neurosurgical patients were transferred by cellular phones. A cellular phone with a built-in 1,300,000-pixel digital camera was used to capture and send the images. A cellular phone with a 262,000 color thin-film transistor liquid crystal display was used to receive the images. Communication between both cellular phones was operated by the same wireless protocol and the same wireless internet service. We compared the concordance of diagnoses and treatment plans between a house staff who could review full-scale original films and a consultant who could only review transferred images. These finding were later analyzed by a third observer. Results : The mean time of complete transfer was $2{\sim}3\;minutes$. The quality of all images received was good enough to make precise diagnosis and to select treatment options. Transferred images were helpful in making correct diagnosis and decision making in 49/50 [98%] cases. Discordant result was caused in one patient by improper selection of images by the house staff. Conclusion : The cellular phone system was useful for image transfer and delivery patient's information, leading to earlier diagnosis and initiation of treatment. This usefulness was due to sufficient resolution of the built-in camera and the TFT-LCD, the user-friendly features of the devices, and their low cost.

최근의 진단의료용 방사선영상은 대부분 디지털영상으로 변환되었으나, 영상획득을 위한 조사조건 등 영상화질에 영향을 미치는 요소들에 관련하여서는 여전히 대부분 필름-스크린 시스템의 기준을 그대로 따르고 있으며, 실정이다. 뿐만 아니라 획득된 디지털영상에 대한 객관적인 화질평가 또한 임상에서 적용되고 있지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 디지털영상의 화질을 평가함에 있어 기본이 되는 요소인 화질의 균일성, NPS(noise power spectrum), MTF(modulation transfer function), NEQ(noise equivalent quanta) 등에 대한 평가를 임상에서 활용할 수 있도록 사용자 친화적인 윈도우 환경의 디지털영상화질 평가 프로그램을 MatLab을 이용하여 개발하였다.

Experiments have been conducted to determine heat transfer characteristics for a two-dimen-sional turbulent wall attaching offset jet at different oblique angles to a flat surface. The local Nusselt number distributions were measured using liquid crystal as a temperature sensor. Wall static pressure coefficient profiles were measured at the Reynolds number Re 53200(based on the nozzle width, D) the offset ratio H/D from 2.5 to 10 and the oblique angle a from $0^{\circ}$, to $40^{\circ}$ It is observed that the maximum Nusselt number point occurs slightly upstream of time-averaged reattachment point for all oblique angles. The correlations between the maximum Nusselt number and Reynolds number offset ration and oblique angle are presented.
