  • As the ensemble averaged dZ/dt signal during exercise is smoothed, it is difficult to find the distinctive marks. The cross correlation function was made use of estmating these marks. LVET was calculated based on the calculated parameters of the characteristic points. For the accuracy validation, LVET calculated by hand, by the ensemble average and the cross correl at ion were compared.

  • 중앙 집중식 태아 전자감시 시스템은 태아의 안녕을 판정하는 중요한 평가방법이다. 그러나, 태아감시 시스템은 입력 신호의 장기간의 변동 추이를 검사해야 하며, 따라서 해석하는 사람의 집중력이 쉽게 저하될 수 있다. 컴퓨터를 이용한 태아 감시장치 신호의 자동해석은 분만장의 의사 및 간호사의 업무를 한층 부담없고 손쉽게 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 중앙 집중식 태아감시 시스템에서 간단하고 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 신호 해석 알고리듬을 제시하고, 그에 따른 고속 프로그램을 구현하여 실제 시스템에 적용해 봄으로써 신호 해석 알고리듬의 실효성을 검토해 보고자 한다.

  • Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomographic Scoring (ASPECTS) is a 10-point CT-scan score designed to quantify early ischemic changes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, an assessment of ASPECTS remains a challenge for neuroradiologists in stroke centers. The purpose of this study is to develop an automated ASPECTS scoring system that provides decision-making support by utilizing binary classification with three-dimensional convolutional neural network to analyze CT images. The proposed method consists of three main steps: slice filtering, contrast enhancement and image classification. The experiments show that the obtained results are very promising.

  • Development of printed electronics, which is occasionally referred to as 'flexible' or 'polymer' electronics, has attracted considerable world wide attention in recent years. Printed (or flexible) electronics is currently expected to represent a new form of electronics and open up wide ranging applications in displays, electron devices for medical use, sensors, and other areas. This presentation aims to provide a strategy for scalable and viable paths to accomplish flexible, printable, large area circuits displaying high performance. Novel approaches evolving from system on package (SoP) to system on flex (SoF) technology will allow the integration of heterogeneous materials platforms into a system which is needed to enhance the functionality of the system. The talk also includes speculations about areas on which future advances in printed electronics could have a substantial impact along with a brief introduction of the Korea Printed Electronics Association (KoPEA).

  • Medical imaging techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT) and Ultrasound (US) produce a large amount of digital medical images. Hence, compression of digital images becomes essential and is very much desired in medical applications to solve both storage and transmission problems. But at the same time, an efficient image compression scheme that reduces the size of medical images without sacrificing diagnostic information is required. This paper proposes a novel threshold-based medical image compression algorithm to reduce the size of the medical image without degradation in the diagnostic information. This algorithm discusses a novel type of thresholding to maximize Compression Ratio (CR) without sacrificing diagnostic information. The compression algorithm is designed to get image with high optimum compression efficiency and also with high fidelity, especially for Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) greater than or equal to 36 dB. This value of PSNR is chosen because it has been suggested by previous researchers that medical images, if have PSNR from 30 dB to 50 dB, will retain diagnostic information. The compression algorithm utilizes one-level wavelet decomposition with threshold-based coefficient selection.

  • The cosmetic and behavioral aspects of aging have become increasingly evident over the years. Physical aging in people can easily be observed on their face, posture, voice, and gait. In contrast, bone aging only becomes apparent once significant bone degeneration manifests through degenerative bone diseases. Therefore, a more accurate and timely assessment of bone aging is needed so that the determinants and its mechanisms can be more effectively identified and ultimately optimized. This study proposed a deep learning approach to assess the bone age of an adult using whole-body bone scintigraphy. The proposed approach uses multiple inputs deep neural network architectures using a loss function, called mean-variance loss. The data set was collected from Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital. The experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed method with a mean absolute error of 3.40 years.

  • A capsular endoscope (CE) for inspection of the large intestine requires a motor for backward navigation against the autonomous travel in the intestine. This study proposes an HF power system for generating a magnetic field and for delivering wireless power to the internal or implanted medical devices. The magnetic field is generated by a wound coil (L) around a wooden frame, and the current is driven to the coil through a resonating capacitor (C). The characteristics of the resonance frequency shifting of the L-C series circuit are analyzed. A stable magnetic field intensity in the field coil is maintained by a specially designed frequency tracking system that automatically follows the L-C resonance frequency. Testing confirmed that the oscillation system tracks well the parameter changes of the electric components caused by the operating conditions or environmental variations.
