하천법 개정 및 수자원의 조사·계획 및 관리에 관한 법률 제정으로 하상변동조사를 정기적으로 실시하는 것이 의무화되었고, 지자체가 계획적으로 수자원을 관리할 수 있도록 제도가 마련되고 있다. 하상 지형은 직접 측량할 수 없기 때문에 수심 측량을 통해 간접적으로 이루어지고 있으며, 레벨측량이나 음향측심기를 활용한 접촉식 방법으로 이루어지고 있다. 접촉식 수심측량법은 자료수집이 제한적이기 때문에 공간해상도가 낮고 연속적인 측량이 불가능하다는 한계가 있어 최근에는 LiDAR나 초분광영상을 이용한 원격탐사를 이용한 수심측정 기술이 개발되고 있다. 개발된 초분광영상을 이용한 수심측정 기술은 접촉식 조사보다 넓은 지역을 조사할 수 있고, 잦은 빈도로 자료취득이 용이한 드론에 경량 초분광센서를 탑재하여 초분광영상을 취득하고, 최적 밴드비 탐색 알고리즘을 적용해 수심분포 산정이 가능하다. 기존의 초분광 원격탐사 기법은 드론의 경로비행으로 획득한 초분광영상을 면단위의 영상으로 정합한 후 특정 물리량에 대한 분석이 수행되었으며, 수심측정의 경우 모래하천을 대상으로 한 연구가 주를 이루었으며, 하상재료에 대한 평가는 이루어지지 않았었다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 초분광영상을 활용한 수심산정 기법을 식생이 있는 하천에 적용하고, 동일지역에서 식생을 제거한 후의 2가지 케이스에 대해서 시공간 초분광영상과 단면초분광영상에 모두 적용하였다. 연구결과, 식생이 없는 경우의 수심산정이 더 높은 정확도를 보였으며, 식생이 있는 경우에는 식생의 높이를 바닥으로 인식한 수심이 산정되었다. 또한, 기존의 단면초분광영상을 이용한 수심산정뿐만 아니라 시공간 초분광영상에서도 수심산정의 높은 정확도를 보여 시공간 초분광영상을 활용한 하상변동(수심변동) 추적의 가능성을 확인하였다.

산불은 예측이 어려운 재해이기 때문에 실시간 모니터링을 통해 빠르게 대응하는 것이 중요하며, 정지 궤도 위성 영상은 광역을 짧은 시간 간격으로 모니터링할 수 있어 산불 탐지 분야에 활발히 이용되고 있다. 기존의 위성 영상 기반 산불 탐지 알고리즘은 밝기 온도의 통계량 분석을 통한 임계값 기반으로 이상치를 탐지하는 방향으로 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 강도가 약한 산불을 탐지하기 어렵거나, 적절한 임계값 설정의 어려움으로 일반화 성능이 저하되는 한계점이 있어 최근에는 기계학습을 이용한 산불 탐지 알고리즘들이 제시되고 있다. 현재까지는 random forest, VanillaConvolutional neural network (CNN), U-net 구조 등의 비교적 간단한 기법이 적용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 정지궤도 위성인 Advanced Himawari Imager를 이용하여 동아시아와 호주를 대상으로 State of the Art (SOTA)딥러닝 기법을 적용한 산불 탐지 알고리즘을 개발하고자 하였다. SOTA 모델은 EfficientNet과 lion optimizer를 적용하여 개발하고, Vanilla CNN 구조를 사용한 모델과 산불 탐지 결과를 비교하였다. EfficientNet은 동아시아와 호주에서 0.88 및 0.83의 F1-score를 기록함으로써 CNN (동아시아: 0.83, 호주: 0.78)에 비해 뛰어난 성능을 입증하였다. EfficientNet에 불균형 문제 해결을 위한 weighted loss, equal sampling, image augmentation 기법 적용 시, 동아시아와 호주에서 각각 0.92와 0.84의 F1-score를 기록함으로써 적용 전(동아시아: 0.88, 호주: 0.83)에 비하여 성능이 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제시된 SOTA 딥러닝 기법의 산불 탐지에의 적용 가능성과 딥러닝 모델의 성능 향상을 위해 고려해야 할 방향은 향후 산불탐지 분야에 대한 딥러닝 적용에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

목적 : F-18 FDG PET 검사는 염증성이나 감염성 병변에도 위양성 소견을 보일 수 있으며 이로 인하여 악성종양과의 감별진단을 어렵게 만드는 경우가 있다. 원발성 과호산구증가 증후군 (Hypereosinophilic syndrome)은 폐를 포함한 여러 장기에 호산구의 침윤을 보이는 염증성 질환이다. 본 연구를 통하여 이런 폐침범을 보이는 원발성 과호산구증가 증후군 환자에 있어서 PET소견을 분석하고 비정상적인 높은 섭취를 보이는 경우 폐암과 감별되는 소견을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 폐암 검진을 목적으로 시행한 저선량 흉부 CT상 결정 및 간유리 음영, 기강경화 소견을 보인 환자들 중 혈액검사상 말초 호산구 과다증을 보인 환자들을 대상으로 FDG PET 검사를 시행 하였다. 이들 중, 기생충 질환 등의 이차성 말초 과다호산구증가증의 원인을 있는 경우 연구에서 제외되었다. 총 8명 환자들의 흉부 CT는 결절, 간유리 음영, 그리고 기강경화 등의 병변 소견 등으로 구분하였으며 그 병변 위치에 상응하는 FDG PET에서 보이는 병변의 maximal 및 mean SUV에 관하여 대조분석하였다. 8명 모두 1-4주 후 추적검사를 시행하여 혈액검사 및 PET과 흉부 CT에서 관찰되었던 병변의 변화소견을 살펴보았다. 결과: 처음 시행한 FDG PET 검사 상, 8명 중 7명에서 높은 섭취를 보였으며 Peak SUV는 $2.8{\sim}10.6$ (평균: $6.4{\pm}2.6$), mean SUV는 $2.2{\sim}7.2$ (평균: $4.1{\pm}1.6$)로 측정되었다. 나머지 1명에서 peak SUV는 1.3, 그리고, mean SUV는 0.7로 측정되었다. 환자들은 평균 15.8일(범위: 7일$\sim$30일) 후 추적검사로 $^{18}F$-FDG PET, 흉부 CT, 그리고, 혈액검사를 시행받았다. PET추적검사 상 이전에 높은 섭취를 보였던 7명 중 6명에서 peak 및 mean SUV의 감소를 보였고 이전에 높은 섭취를 보인 나머지 1명과 낮은 섭취를 보인 1명에서는 병변이 완전히 소실되었다. 이러한 변화 소견은 흉부 CT 추적검사 소견과도 일치하였다. 결론: 원발성 과호산구증가 증후군 환자군에서 폐침범을 보이는 경우, 폐병변은 FDG PET 영상에서 폐암과 유사한정도의 높은 섭취를 보이는 위양성 결과를 나타내어 한번의 PET검사만으로는 양성과 악성을 감별할 수 없었다. 이러한 경우, 추적검사로 CT 및 $^{18}F$-FDG PET를 시행하여 병변의 위치 및 범위, SUV의 변화 소견을 같이 보는 것이 원발성 과호산구증가 증후군 환자에 있어서 보일 수 있는 폐침범 소견과 악성 종양을 감별하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

전신 뼈 영상 검사에서 영상의 질을 유지하면서 검사 시간 단축을 위해 oncoflash와 같은 프로그램을 사용하고 있는데, 이를 임상에 적용할 때 영상의 질과 검사 시간 단축의 두 가지 측면을 동시에 고려해야 하며, 적합한 스캔 속도의 결정에 대한 기준 설정이 필요하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 서울아산병원 핵의학과에서 전신 뼈 영상 검사를 시행한 환자를 대상으로 하여 분당 30 cm의 스캔 속도로 검사한 영상의 총 계수를 각각 800 K 이하, 800 K, 900 K, 1000 K, 1500 K, 2000 K 이상으로 구분하여 영상의 질을 정성적 분석하고, 전신 총 계수가 1000 K 미만인 비율을 분석하였다. 분당 30 cm의 스캔 속도로 검사한 전신 뼈 영상의 전신 총 계수의 기하학적 평균이 1000 K 미만인 비율을 분석한 결과, 전체 329명 중 58명(17.6%)이다. 전신 총 계수 별로 구분한 영상을 정성적으로 분석 결과, 전신 총 계수 1000 K 이하의 경우에 육안적으로 영상의 입자가 거칠고, 노이즈가 증가한 영상으로 평가되었다. 전신 총 계수의 양과 Oncoflash 적용 여부에 따른 해상력의 비교평가를 위해 전신 뼈 영상 검사의 계수율을 고려하여 2~5 mCi의 선량을 투여한 $^{99m}Tc$ Flood와 4-Quadrant bar phantom을 이용하여 영상을 획득 한 후, Oncoflash 적용 전과 후의 FWHM을 분석하였다. PPM 계수가 3.6 K 이하에서는 Oncoflash 적용 후의 FWHM이 전과 비교해서 높게 나왔으나, 3.6~4.0 K 이상에서는 Oncoflash 적용 전보다 적용 후에 낮거나 동등하게 측정되었다. 전신 뼈 영상 검사의 시작 시점인 두부와 흉부의 일부가 포함된 상태에서 감마카메라의 PPM (Patient Positioning Monitor) 계수를 측정하고, 분당 30 cm의 스캔 속도를 적용하여 획득한 전신 총 계수 사이의 상관 관계를 분석 결과는 PPM 계수가 각각 2.5~3.0 K일 때 전신 총 계수의 평균과 표준 편차는 $965{\pm}173\;K$ (17.8%), 3.1~3.5 K에서 $1,084{\pm}154\;K$ (22.4%), 3.6~4.0 K에서 $1,242{\pm}186\;K$ (18.4%), 4.1~4.5 K에서 $1,359{\pm}170\;K$ (17.1%), 4.6~5.0 K에서 $1,405{\pm}184$ K (10.5%), 5.1~6.0에서 $1,640{\pm}376\;K$ (10.5%), 6.1~7.0 K에서 $1,771{\pm}324\;K$ (1.3%), 7.1 K 이상에서 $1,972{\pm}385\;K$ (2.0%)으로, 매우 강한 양의 상관관계(상관계수 r=0.775, p<0.01)가 있었다. 전신 뼈 영상 검사 시작 시점의 PPM 계수가 3.6 K 이상일 경우에 분당 30 cm으로 스캔한 후 전신 총 계수가 1000 K 이상인 경우에 Oncoflash를 적용하면 검사 시간을 줄이면서도 기존의 분당 15 cm으로 획득한 영상 수준의 화질을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 분당 30 cm으로 스캔한 후 전신 총 계수 기준으로 1000 K 미만인 경우에는 Oncoflash를 적용하여도 영상의 질이 저하되므로, 기존의 분당 15 cm의 속도로 다시 시행하는 것을 고려해야 할 것이다.

N-13 암모니아 PET 동적영상을 이용하여 심근혈류량을 측정할 때, 부분용적효과와 스필오버현상을 보정하는 새로운 방법을 고안하고, 이 방법을 이용하여 측정한 심근혈류량을 2구획모델만을 이용한 종래의 방법과 비교, 분석하여 새로운 방법에 대한 효율성과 정확성을 고찰한다. 9명의 관상동맥 환자에서 20mCi의 N-13 암모니아를 안정상태와 부하상태에서 주사한 후, PET 동적영상을 얻어 심근의 3부분(중격, 전면벽, 측면벽)과 좌심실방에 관심영역을 그려 시간-방사능곡선을 얻었다. 심근의 3부분에 대한 심근혈류량과 스필오버분획을 기하학적 관심영역 모델 개념을 2구획모델에 포함시킨 새로운 방법과 종래의 2구획모델 방법으로 각각 구하였다. 이때 관심영역의 위치에 따른 심근혈류량을 알아보기 위해서 심근 밖에서 좌심실 중심쪽으로 20개의 관심영역을 그리고, 위의 두 방법을 이용하여 심근혈류량을 구하였다. 종래의 N-13 암모니아 2구획모델과 기하학적 모델 개념을 2구획모델에 포함시킨 새로운 방법으로 모델 합치 곡선을 구하였다. 관심영역 위치 변화에 대한 심근혈류량의 값을 종래의 방법과 새로운 방법으로 구하고, 부분용적효과를 정확하게 보정하기 위하여 관심영역을 심내막쪽에 설정하였다. 총 108개의 심근관심영역에서 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 구한 심근혈류량 사이의 회귀곡선 기울기는 1.57, 상관계수는 0.88이었다. 그리고 같은 방법으로 얻어진 스필오버분획들도 선형적 상관관계(r=1.00, 기울기=0.98)가 있었다. 결론적으로 N-13 암모니아 PET 동적영상과 기하학적 모델 개념을 2구획모델에 포함시킨 새로운 방법을 이용하여 구한 심근혈류량은 종래의 방법보다 더 효율적이며 정확하게 정량화되어짐을 알 수 있었으며, 앞으로 임상환경에서 심근혈류량 정량분석연구에 유용할 것이라고 생각한다. 환자 군에 비해 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.01). 결론적으로, 흉통을 호소한 환자에서 심근관류 신티그라피상 정상인 경우에는 심장사건의 발생율이 낮음을 알 수 있었고, 특히 관동맥조영술에 관동맥병변이있는 환자와 없는 환자간에 1차 심장사건의 발생율에 유의한 차이가 없는 것을 고려하면, 심근관류 신티그라피가 정상소견을 보이는 흉통환자는 정상 관동맥조영술 소견을 보이는 환자에 준하여 치료하여도 좋을 것으로 사료되었다.리고 0.19, 0.40, 0.53, 0.61이었다. 실제 속도상수의 비 $k_3/k_4$에 대한 (BG-OCC)/OCC와 $R_A,\;R_v$간의 상관계수는 각각 0.983, 0.984, 0.999이었으며 그때의 기울기는 각각 1.76, 0.47, 1.25이었다. 결 론 : IPT 약역학은 시간이 흐름에 따라 혈류량의 변동에 비해 도파민 운반체량의 변동에 더욱 민감한 경향을 보였으며 $k_3/k_4$에 대한 (BG-OCC)/OCC, $R_A,\;R_v$의 결과간에 좋은 상관관계를 가졌다. 따라서 이러한 약역학 컴퓨터시뮬레이션이 SPECT 영상을 이용한 도파민 운반체 또는 수용체 정량분석을 최적화하는데 매우 유용할 것으로 생각된다.TEX>-CIT SPECT는 파킨슨병의 조기진단 및 진행 추적에 임상적으로 유용할 것으로 판단된다., SCC 4예, AC 1예)였으며, 11예 중 9예(81.8%)에서 방사선학적 검사결과와 Tc-99m MIBI섭취율의 변화가 일치하였다. 결론적으로, Tc-99m MIBI SPECT는 폐암병소의 국소화 및 방사선치료 효과의 판정에 어느정도 유용하리라 사료되었다.냈고 4명에서는 low CBD obstruction을 나타내었으며 후에 CBD stone, CBD carcinoma,

강원도 원주 지역 학등에 대하여 환경을 달리하는 4군을 adhesive cellotape anal swab 법으로 충란 검출률을 조사하였고 감염 집단에 대하여 구충제의 반착 투여로 감염률의 감소 현황과 재감염 을 관찰하였다. 1. 충란 검출률(1회 검사)은 19.9%(1,262명중 251명 양성, 남 19.7%, 여 20.1%)였으며 지역과 환경이 다른 산간 지역 13.0%, 농촌 지역 11.9%, 중 도시 15. l%, 집단생활 아동 61.9%로 나타났다. 2. 국민학생은 저학년(유치만 및 1,2학년생)에서 검출률(26.2∼32.2%)이 높았고 그 외는 최저 (6학년 생) 13.6%이었다. 3. 반복 검사(4∼5일 간격 3회)에 의한 누적 검출률은 높았으나(최초 58.5%에서 70.8%로) 매회의 검출률은 비슷한 비율(50.0%∼59.2%)을 보였다. 4. 반복검사 3회의 누적 검출률(70.8%, 130명 검사) 중 계속 양성자는 평균 39.2%이었다. 그리고 충란 검출률이 높은 군(87.5%)일수록 그 비율(71.9%)은 높았다. 5. 충란 양성자 17명에서 구충제 투여로 2,609마리 (성비는 12.4 : 1)의 충체를 수집하였다. 이는 평균 153마리 (4∼824범위) 감염에 해당된다. 6. 집단에 대하여 매회 충란 양성자에만 구충제를 투여 (3주간격 6회)한 바 양성률은 최초 54.8% (180명중)에서 15주 후에 2.3%로 감소되었으나 완전한 구충 효과는 얻지 못하였다. 그러나 매회 전 집단(양성자, 음성자 같이)에 대한 구충제 투여 (3주간격)에서는 4회 (9주째) 검사때 전부 음성으로 나타났다. 7. 국민학교 학생 양성자의 형제자매 중 충란 검출률은 70.0%(40명 중 28명)이었다. 가족 단위로는 69.7%의 같은 비율로 높았다. 이상으로 요충 감염은 아직까지 높은 상태임을 알았고 예방을 위한 집단 구충에는 전 집단에 대한 3회 이상의 반복구충이 효과적이었다. gas layers is also made. Low resolution spectral intensities at the boundary are obtained for uniform, parabolic and boundary layer type temeprature profiles using the obtained for uniform, parabolic and boundary layer type temperature profiles using the obtained WSGGM's with 9 gray gases. The results are compared with the narrow band spectral intensities as obtained by a narrow band model-based code with the Curtis-Godson approximation. Good agreement is found between them. Local heat source strength and total wall heat flux are also compared for the cases of Kim et al, which again gives promising agreement.면적 306~453$\textrm{cm}^2$, 유색계의 경우 수당면적 340~453$\textrm{cm}^2$ 일 때 경제능력을 제대로 발휘할 수 있고 경제성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 첨가구가 높은 경향이 있었다8.4%. 79.7% 그리고 80.2%였다. 5. 체중구성요소들의 중상비율간의 상관근도는 계통간를 차이를 보이지 않았다. 체중구성요소중 체중과 상관정도가 높은 부위들은 방혈양, 두부, 각부, 흉부, 퇴경부등이였다. 복부지방(%)은 어느 계종에서나 주로 불가식내장과 높은 유의상관을 보였으나, 가식부위와의 상관정도는 매우 낮게 나타났다.ctivity of these

삼광 금-은 광상은 과거 한국에서 가장 큰 금-은 광상들 중의 하나였다. 이 광상은 선캠브리아기의 변성퇴적암류내에 발달된 열극대를 충진한 8개조의 석영맥으로 구성된 조산형 금-은 광상이다. 이 광상에서 함 티타늄 광물로는 설석, 티탄철석 및 금홍석이며 설석과 티탄철석은 모암에서만 산출되나 금홍석은 모암과 엽리상 석영맥에서 산출된다. 이들 광물들은 모암에선 흑운모, 백운모, 녹니석, 백색운모, 모나자이트, 저어콘 및 인회석과 엽리상 석영맥에선 백색운모, 녹니석 및 유비철석 등과 함께 산출된다. 설석은 최대 3.94 wt.% (Al₂O₃), 0.49 wt.% (FeO), 0.52 wt.% (Nb₂O₅), 0.46 wt.% (Y₂O₃) 및 0.43 wt.% (V₂O₅) 값을 갖는다. 이 설석은 0.06~0.14 (Fe/Al 비) 값으로 변성기원의 설석이고 X_Al (=Al/Al+Fe³⁺+Ti) 값이 0.06~0.15 값으로 저 함량 알루미늄 설석에 해당된다. 티탄철석은 최대 0.07 wt.% (ZrO₂), 0.12 wt.% (HfO₂), 0.26 wt.% (Nb₂O₅), 0.04 wt.% (Sb₂O₅), 0.13 wt.% (Ta₂O₅), 2.62 wt.% (As₂O₅), 0.29 wt.% (V₂O₅), 0.12 wt.% (Al₂O₃), 1.59 wt.% (ZnO)로써 As₂O₅ 함량이 높게 산출된다. 금홍석의 화학조성은 모암과 엽리상 석영맥에서 각각 최대 0.35 wt.%, 0.65 wt.% (HfO₂), 2.52 wt.%, 0.19 wt.% (WO₃), 1.28 wt.%, 1.71 wt.% (Nb₂O₃), 0.03 wt.%, 0.07 wt.% (Sb₂O₃), 0.28 wt.%, 0.21 wt.% (As₂O₅), 0.68 wt.%, 0.70 wt.% (V₂O₃), 0.48 wt.%, 0.59 wt.% (Cr₂O₃), 0.70 wt.%, 1.90 wt.% (Al₂O₃), 4.76 wt.%, 3.17 wt.% (FeO)로써 엽리상 석영맥의 금홍석에서 HfO₂, Nb₂O₃, As₂O₅, Cr₂O₃, Al₂O₃ 및 FeO 원소들의 함량이 모암의 금홍석보다 높지만 WO₃ 원소의 함량은 낮다. 이 미량원소들은 모암의 금홍석[(Fe³⁺, Al³⁺, Cr³⁺) + Hf⁴⁺+(W⁵⁺, As⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) ⟵⟶; 2Ti⁴⁺+ V⁴⁺, 2Fe²⁺+(Al³⁺, Cr³⁺) + Hf⁴⁺+(W⁵⁺, As⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) ⟵⟶ 2Ti⁴⁺+2V⁴⁺], 엽리상 석영맥의 금홍석 [(Fe³⁺, Al³⁺) + As⁵⁺ ⟵⟶ Ti⁴⁺+ V⁴⁺, (Fe³⁺, Al³⁺) + As⁵⁺ ⟵⟶ Ti⁴⁺+Hf⁴⁺, 4(Fe³⁺, Al³⁺) ⟵⟶ Ti⁴⁺+(W⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺) + Cr³⁺]로써 치환관계가 있었다. 이들 자료를 근거로, 모암내 산출되는 설석, 티탄철석 및 금홍석은 광역변성작용 동안 모암광물들의 변질 시 광물내 존재했던 W⁵⁺, Nb⁵⁺, As⁵⁺, Hf⁴⁺, V⁴⁺, Cr³⁺, Al³⁺, Fe³⁺, Fe²⁺ 등과 같은 양이온들의 재 용해 및 농집에 의해 형성되었다. 그후 계속된 연성전단 시 엽리상 석영맥내 금홍석은 열수 용액의 유입에 따른 백색운모와 녹니석의 모암변질작용에 의한 양이온들의 재 용해 및 재 농집과 더불어 초기에 형성된 설석, 티탄철석 및 금홍석과의 반응에 의해 기존에 이들 광물내에 존재하였던 Nb⁵⁺, As⁵⁺, Hf⁴⁺, Cr³⁺, Al³⁺, Fe³⁺, Fe²⁺과 같은 양이온들의 재농집에 의해 형성된 것으로 생각된다.
