  • Due to the development of medical imaging technology, different imaging technologies provide a large amount of effective information. However, different imaging method caused the limitations of information integrity by using single type of image. Combining different image together so that doctor can obtain the information from medical image comprehensively. Image registration algorithm based on mutual information has become one of the hotspots in the field of image registration with its high registration accuracy and wide applicability. Because the information theory-based registration technology is not dependent on the gray value difference of the image, and it is very suitable for multimodal medical image registration. However, the method based on mutual information has a robustness problem. The essential reason is that the mutual information itself is not have enough information between the pixel pairs, so that the mutual information is unstable during the registration process. A large number of local extreme values are generated, which finally cause mismatch. In order to overcome the shortages of mutual information registration method, this paper proposes a registration method combined with image spatial structure information and mutual information.

  • Outline contour is detected firstly to simulate dose distribution in radiation therapy planning system. In this paper, we developed automatic contour detection system using temporal and spatial relationships of image sequences. The low level image analysis involves the use of directional gradient edge operators and Laplacian operator. The High level portion of algorithm uses a knowledge-based strategy that incorporates fuzzy resoning method.

  • Advancements in remote medical technologies and smart devices have led to expectations of contactless rehabilitation. Conventionally, rehabilitation requires clinicians to perform routine muscle function assessments with patients. However, assessment results are difficult to cross-reference owing to the lack of a gold standard. Thus, the application of remote smart rehabilitation systems is significantly hindered. This study analyzes the factors affecting the real-time evaluation of muscle function based on biometric sensor data so that we can provide a basis for a remote system. We acquired real clinical stroke patient data to identify the meaningful features associated with normal and abnormal musculature. We provide a system based on these emerging features that assesses muscle functionality in real time via streamed biometric signal data. A system view based on the amount of data, data processing speed, and feature proportions is provided to support the production of a rudimentary remote smart rehabilitation system.

  • This paper introduces a biocompatible packaging system for implantable medical device having a hermetic sealing, such that a perfect physical and chemical isolation between electronic medical system and human body (including tissue, body fluids, etc.) is obtained. The hermetic packaging includes an electronic MEMS pressure sensor, power charging system, and bluetooth communication system to wirelessly measure variation of capacitance. The packaging was acquired by Quartz direct bonding and $CO_2$ laser welding, with a size of width $ 6cm{\times}length\;10cm{\times}lheight\;3cm$. Hermetic sealing of the packaged system was tested by changing the pressure in a hermetic chamber using a precision pressure controller, from atmospheric to 900 mmHg. We found that the packaged system retained the same count or capacitance values with sensor 1 - 25,500, sensor 2 - 26,000, and sensor 3 - 20,800, at atmospheric as well as 900 mmHg pressure for 5 hours. This result shows that the packaging method has perfect hermetic sealing in any environment of the human body pressure.

  • 본 논문에서는 MICS(Medical Implant Communication Service, 402~405 MHz)와 ISM(The Industrial, Scientific and Medical, 2.40~2.485 GHz) 대역에서 동작하는 의료용 무선 중계 시스템을 위한 이중 대역 인체 부착형 안테나를 제안하고, 인체의 영향을 고려한 안테나 성능에 대한 분석을 하였다. 제안된 안테나는 ISM 대역에서 동작하는 윗면의 패치와 MICS 대역에서 동작하는 바닥면의 패치로 구성되어 있다. 안테나가 실제 인체에 착용되어 사용되는 상황을 고려하고, 인체가 안테나에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 모의 인체를 이용하여 시뮬레이션과 측정을 수행하였다. 제안된 안테나의 반사 손실은 MICS 대역과 ISM 대역에서의 요구 대역폭을 만족하였고, 측정된 최대 이득은 MICS 대역과 ISM 대역에서 각각 -12.47 dBi, 1.71 dBi이었다. 제안된 안테나의 방사 패턴은 MICS 대역에서 인체 내부 지향성, ISM 대역에서 인체 외부 지향성을 가지며, 반사 손실 특성은 인체의 영향에 매우 둔감하므로 의료용 무선 중계 시스템용 인체 부착형 안테나로 활용되기에 적절할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Recently, TFT-LCD is widely used of medicine machine on the display devices. However, the display precision of TFT-LCD is 8 bits instead of 10 bits of CRT display. If the medical image have more than 8 bits, we must requantize the medical image. We propose an efficient method to reduce medical image from 10 bits into 8 bits by employing human visual perception. The proposed method shows good performance for the medical image display.
