The substituted yttrium iron garnet systems $Y_{ 3-x}$/Gd$_{x}$X$0.2_{0.2}$ $Fe_{4.8}$ $O _{12}$ (x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) have been investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spectroscopy and SQUID. The X-ray diffraction patterns at room temperature confirm the samples to have a single phase of the garnet structure over the whole composition range. The lattice constants of all the samples linearly change with increasing x due to the size of substituted ions in the dodecahedral sites. $Y_{3-x}$ $Gd_{x}$ X$Fe_{4.8}$ $In_{0.2}$ $O_{12}$ system which $Y_{3-x}$ ions are substituted with Gd$^{ 3＋}$ ions, the Mossbauer spectrum consists of three Zeeman sextets at room temperature, one due to the $Fe^{3＋}$ ions on the octahedral(a-) sites and the others due to the $Fe^{3＋}$ ions on the tetrahedral(d-, d'-) sites, respectively. From the hysteresis loop measured by means of SQUID over the whole composition range, the saturation magnetization $M_{s}$ and magnetic moments $\mu_{ B}$ per unit cell have been obtained. The increment of Gd-ion content causes $M_{s}$ and $\mu_{B}$ decrease while the increment of In-ion content does not.

엑스선 영상 시스템으로부터 획득한 영상의 공간주파수에 대한 해상도를 분석하기 위해 변조전달함수(modulation-transfer function, MTF)를 계산한다. 일반적으로 검출기의 응답함수는 슬릿-카메라를 사용하여 선분포함수(line-spread function, LSF)를 획득하고, 푸리에 변환을 거쳐 변조전달함수를 도출한다. 엑스선이 항상 슬릿-카메라 중심에 입사해야 된다는 조건 때문에 실험자에 의해 발생하는 검출기와 슬릿-카메라의 기울임은 검출기 성능에 영향을 미치게 된다. 이와 더불어 기울임에 확대율이 더해진다면 엑스선 영상 시스템의 성능평가에 문제가 발생할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실험적 오차에 기인하여 이를 변조전달함수, 즉 푸리에 도메인에서 실험과 분석모델을 해석하였고, 공간주파수에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 나아가 다양한 엑스선 영상 시스템에 있어 성능평가가 실시되어야 할 것이고, 실험적 오차는 불가결하게 발생하며 이를 허용할 수 있는 범위에 대한 검토가 이루어져야 한다.

The field size of the lumbar spine X-ray examination, which belongs to the most frequent examination in general radiography, is 5 times wider than the width of the lumbar spine. Exposure index (EI) as per International Electrotechnical Commission has a proportional relationship with the dose incident on the image receptor for clinical protocols in addition to RQA5, which is a calibration beam quality. In this study, the effectiveness of the set field size was evaluated through the change of EI according to the size of field during lumbar spine X-ray examinations. Lumbar anterior-posterior and lateral examinations was performed using a whole-body phantom, and the national average exposure conditions of Korea investigated in 2017 were introduced for the X-ray exposure. As a result of comparing the EI displayed on the console of digital radiography system for the three field size in ① 18 × 36 cm2 ② 25 × 36 cm2 ③ 36 × 36 cm2, the EI values showed a tendency to increase as the field size increased. Since the patient dose, such as organ dose around the lumbar spine, increases as the field size becomes larger, thus, if the EI obtained from the field size at a level that does not interfere with diagnosis is set as a reference, the effectiveness of the field size can be evaluated through the EI displayed on the console when the lumbar spine X-ray examination is conducted.

Computed radiography(CR) has been widely used in the field of diagnostic radiography since digital X-ray image was introduced. The imaging performance of CR system was studied by analyzing the digital image data of the CR images which are the outcomes of the whole imaging system composed of image plate(IP), laser digitizer, analoge-digital convertor, and a given image processing unit. In this study, we used a conventional CR system made by Agfa. From the flat field image of 150$\times$150 image pixels, signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) was calculated. SNR of the CR image increases in proportion to logarithm value of the X-ray exposure irradiated on the IP. SNR is less than about 6 at the exposure below 0.2mR and is more than 10 at the exposure above 0.54mR. In our study, most of images obtained by the smaller exposures less than 2.0mR can not be readable. In general, the minimum value of the SNR ranges from 3 to 5. We obtained modulation transfer function(MTF) by analyzing the bar pattern image which was made under conditions as follows: X-ray tube potential was 55kVp, the IP exposure was 0.54 mR, and the distance between X-ray source to IP was 2m, where bar pattern was located on the IP. MTF is 23% at 2.5lp/mm spatial frequency. Provided that the MTF of noise equivalent modulation is 10%, the CR system has the limiting spatial resolution of 3.2lp/mm. If the image sharpness is evaluated by the spatial frequency where MTF is 50%. the corresponding spatial frequency is 0.5$\sim$0.75lp/mm. MTFA(Modulation Transfer Function Area) is 1.0lp/mm. Compared with the Fuji CR whose MTFA is 1.1lp/mm, Agfa CR in this study shows almost same MTFA performance.

A series of samples in the Sm1-xSrxCoO3-y(x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00) system has been prepared at 1200 ℃ under ambient atmosphere. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples with x=0.00 and 0.25 are indexed with orthorhombic symmetry like GdFeO3 and x=0.50 appears to be perfectly cubic. In the tetragonal system (x=0.75), the structure is similar to that of SrCoO2.80. The composition of x=1.00, SrCoO2.52, shows the brownmillerite-type structure. The reduced lattice volume is increased with x value in this system. The chemical analysis shows the τ value (the amount of the Co4+ ions in the system) is maximized at the composition of x=0.50. Nonstoichiometric chemical formulas are determined by the x, τ and y values. The electrical conductivity has been measured in the temperature range of 78 to 1000 K. The activation energy is minimum for those of x=0.25 and x=0.50 with metallic behavior. First-order semiconductor-to-metal transition of SmCoO3 is not observed. Instead, a broad, high-order semiconductor-to-metal transition is observed. In general, the effective magnetic moment is increased with increasing τ values at low temperature. At high temperature, the magnetic moment is maximum for that of x=0.00. The 3d-electrons are collective and give ferromagnetism in x=0.50.

X-ray 두개골 영상에서 주요 해부학적 부위들 간의 거리를 계측하는 것은 진단과 치료 등 임상적 의미에서 매우 중요하다. 최근에는 딥러닝 기술의 발전을 바탕으로 랜드마크를 식별 및 검출하는 자동화 시스템들이 제시되고 있다. 이러한 딥러닝 기반 모델을 과적합 없이 학습 시키기 위해서는 대량의 영상과 라벨링 데이터가 필요하다. 기존에는 숙련된 판독의가 환자의 영상에서 랜드마크를 수동으로 식별하여 라벨링하는 방식으로 계측이 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 이러한 계측 방식은 많은 비용이 소요될 뿐만 아니라, 재현성이 떨어지기 때문에 자동화된 라벨링 방법에 대한 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 또한, X-ray 영상에는 광자가 통과하는 경로 상의 여러 인체조직들이 표시되기 때문에 랜드마크 식별이 일반 자연 이미지 또는 삼차원 모달리티 영상에 비해 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 X-ray 영상 내에 대량의 라벨링 데이터 생성을 가능하게 하는 기하학적 데이터 증강 기법을 제안하고 있다. 또한, 두개골 내 주요한 16개 랜드마크들의 검출 성능을 향상시키기 위해 다양한 어텐션 기법들의 구현 및 적용을 통해 랜드마크 검출을 위한 최적의 어텐션 메커니즘을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 주요 두개골 랜드마크들 중 안정적인 검출이 보장되는 마커들을 도출하였으며, 이러한 마커들은 임상적인 활용 가능성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

X-선 형광분광 분석에서 매트릭스 효과를 줄이거나 보정을 해야만 보다 정확한 분석원소의 함량을 구할 수 있다. 매트릭스 계수를 구하기 위하여 표준물질을 이용해야 하는데, 괴상시편(ingot)을 임의의 성분함량별로 제작하려면 고온의 열처리로 어려움이 많으므로 금속산화물의 미세한 분말을 각 성분 함량비로 혼합해서 일정 압력을 가해서 시편을 만들었다. 이 시편의 X-선 형광세기와 농도로서 매트릭스 계수를 구해서 미지물질의 성분함량을 구하였다. 그 결과 Ni에 대해서 Fe와 Cr은 흡수 효과가 우세하고 Cr에 대해서 Fe와 Ni는 증강 효과가 우세하였으며 Fe에 대해서 Ni는 증강 효과가 강하고, Cr은 흡수 효과가 강했다. 그리고 또 이 금속산화물과 괴상시편에서 얻은 X-선 형광세기를 비교 검토하였다.
