가로축 방식이 아닌 세로축 방식으로 초음파를 송수신하여 골밀도 측정을 하는 장치를 개발하였다. 반사된 초음파의 시간 차이를 이용하는 speed of sound (SOS) 방식은 주파수 차이를 비교하는 broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) 방식에 비하여 더욱 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 측정부위의 경우 엄지는 초음파 수신율이 좋으나 피부 두께의 변위가 많은 단점을 고려하여 중지를 채택하여 정확성을 높였다. SOS 방식만을 사용하여 측정한 결과 기존의 dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) 방식과 비교하여 거의 동일한 정확도를 얻을 수 있었다.

Although various ophthalmic imaging methods, including fundus photography and optical coherence tomography, have been applied for effective diagnosis of ocular diseases with high spatial resolution, most of them are limited by shallow imaging penetration depth and a narrow field of view. Also, many of those imaging modalities are optimized to provide microscopic anatomical information, while functional or cellular information is lacking. Compared to other ocular imaging modalities, photoacoustic imaging can achieve relatively deep penetration depth and provide more detailed functional and cellular data based on photoacoustic signal generation from endogenous contrast agents such as hemoglobin and melanin. In this paper, array-based ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging was demonstrated to visualize pigmentation in the eye as well as overall ocular structure. Fresh porcine eyes were visualized using a real-time ultrasound micro-imaging system and an imaging probe supporting laser pulse delivery. In addition, limited photoacoustic imaging field of view was improved by an imaging probe tilting method, enabling visualization of most regions of the retina covered in the ultrasound imaging.

Human fibroblast-derived multi-peptide factors (MPFs) have been used during treatments with energy-delivering modalities to enhance energy-induced tissue reactions. Human fibroblast-derived MPFs, which include a range of growth factors and chemoattractive factors, activate and recruit fibroblasts and endothelial cells, as well as promote extracellular matrix deposition, all of which are crucial to wound repair. Interestingly, fibroblasts from different species or anatomical sites exhibit distinct transcriptional properties with high heterogeneity. In addition, the patterns of MPF secretion can differ under a range of experimental conditions. Therefore, the use of allogeneic fibroblasts and proper cultivation thereof are necessary to obtain MPFs that can enhance the epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during wound repair. Moreover, energy-delivering devices should be selected according to evidence demonstrating their therapeutic efficacy and safety on a pathological skin condition and the major target skin layers. This paper reviewed the histologic patterns of post-treatment tissue reactions elicited by several energy sources, including non-ablative and ablative fractional lasers, intense focused ultrasound, non-invasive and invasive radiofrequency, picosecond-domain lasers, and argon and nitrogen plasma. The possible role of the immediate application of human fibroblast-derived MPFs during wound repair was proposed.

One of the oldest, most common engineering problems is measuring the dimensions of different objects and the distances between locations. In AEC/FM, related uses vary from large-scale applications such as measuring distances between cities to small-scale applications such as measuring the depth of a crack or the width of a welded joint. Within the last few years, advances in applying new technologies have prompted the development of new measuring devices such as ultrasound and laser-based measurers. Because of wide varieties in type, associated costs, and levels of accuracy, the selection of an optimal measuring technology is challenging for construction engineers and facility managers. To tackle this issue, we present an overview of various measuring technologies adopted by experts in the area of AEC/FM. As the next step, to evaluate the performance of these technologies, we select one indoor and one outdoor case and measure several dimensions using six categories of technologies: tapes, total stations, laser measurers, ultrasound devices, laser scanners, and image-based technologies. Then we evaluate the results according to various metrics such as accuracy, ease of use, operation time, associated costs, compare these results, and recommend optimal technologies for specific applications. The results also revealed that in most applications, computer vision-based technologies outperform traditional devices in terms of ease of use, associated costs, and accuracy.

Photo Acoustic Tomography (PAT) is a hybrid imaging modality which combines high contrast of optical imaging and spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging, thus it is suitable to image biological tissue noninvasively. Laser-induced photoacoustic signals were measured from a sample by means of an unfocused ultrasound transducer, then PAT image was reconstructed based on a universal back-projection algorithm. To evaluate the feasibility of our system, phantom test was performed, consequently, the PAT images obtained using our system showed highly analogous shape and volume with those of the phantom. This result demonstrated that our system can provide a powerful tool for imaging the substructure of biological tissue in non-invasive manner.

$\underline{In\;vitro}$ velocity measurements were made using both the pulsed Doppler ultrasound (PDU) machine and laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) system in order to investigate the flow characteristics near the aortic bifurcation. Velocities measured from the PDU machine was in good agreement with those from the LDA. The flow in the daughter branches was three-dimensional with a secondary flow. The oscillating wall shear stress with this secondary fluid motion is well correlated with the localization of the atherosclerosis.

Three-dimensional steady and pulsatile flow experiments and numerical simulations have conducted to investigate the flow characteristics in the aortic bifurcation model. In vitro velocity measurements were made using both laser Doppler anemometry and pulsed Doppler ultrasound velocimetry. In this study, flow phenomena in the aortic bifurcation model are discussed extensively and the numerical results are compared with experimental results.

The nonunion means a state that the healing of fracture has stopped, and the part of fracture remains to not heal up in several months. The medical treatment of nonunion was tried several way to add stability to fracture. The treatment of The electrical stimulation and medicine which is make from calcium, phosphorus, and Vitamin A, D have used, but recently try to use Ultrasound and Laser in the physical therapy. In the text, we look into definition of nonunion, a cause, fracture of treatment process and approach of nonunion treatment. So, using Ultrasound and Laser in the physical therapy can be great help to the fracture and nonunion

본 연구에서는 고출력 레이저를 재료 표면에 조사하였을 때 나타나는 어블레이션 현상에 의한 레이저 초음파의 특성을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 분석하였다. 레이저 초음파 기법은 비파괴검사 분야에서 기존의 접촉식 초음파 기법을 적용하기 어려운 환경요인(고온 등)을 극복할 수 있는 장점들을 가지고 있다. 특히, 어블레이션 영역에서는 종파의 신호 세기 및 직진성이 강하므로, 투과 및 반사 신호를 통한 내부결함 검사법으로 활용하기 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 통해 어블레이션 영역에서의 레이저 초음파의 발생 및 전파를 해석하였다. 그리고 개발된 유한요소해석 모델을 활용해 결함모사시편을 대상으로 B-Scan을 수행한 결과, 실험 결과와 동일하게 나타나는 것을 확인하였고, 이로부터 개발된 해석모델의 타당성을 검증할 수 있었다.
