Grating interferometry based imaging technology is a kind of radiation imaging system, which can acquire not only absorption image but also phase difference and dark field image using the Talbot pattern. However, because of the technological difficulties and high cost of fabricating the gratings that make up the system, much efforts are being made to look for ways to replace them. The is a preliminary study to see how the Talbot pattern transfer through various kinds of scintillators and if the optical grating can be a way to replace the conventional absorption gratings. The geometry of the interferometer, the scintillator model, and the scintillator thickness are the main inputs for our simulation. We have used the concept of modulation for quantitative analysis of the contrast ratio of the Talbot pattern. This research is expected to provide very useful information on the design of optical gratings, which is an alternative way to analyze the Talbot pattern, which we have filed a patent on.

This study has investigated the relationship between heat release fluctuations and the flow perturbations in a partially premixed gas turbine combustor using a commercial CFD code. Special focus of the current work is placed on the effect of equivalence ratio on the flame dynamics in a partially-premixed system. As the first step for this combustion dynamics study in the non-perfectly premixed combustor, flame behaviors are modeled and then compared with measured results under both steady and unsteady conditions. The calculated results of the flame transfer function with equivalence ratio fluctuation are found to well capture the main qualitative characteristics of the combustion dynamics for the partially-premixed flames.

We studied the characteristics of annular phase gratings as spatial frequency filters. We first calculated the Fraunhofer diffraction patterns of annular gratings and then got the modulation transfer function (MTF) from the zeroth order Hankel transform of the intensity distribution function. Binaryphase annular grating shows higher diffraction efficiency than binary phase rectangular grating. But the MTF decreases linearly in the low-frequency region as that of rectangular grating does. The diffraction pattern of 4-phase annular grating is similar to that of 2-phase grating and hence MTFs of the two are much alike. For 8-phase annular grating, the 7th order diffracted beam is the lowest one next to the first. Consequently, the diffraction efficiency is very high and the MTF graph is curved upward. The diffracted beams except the first order are negligible and hence the MTF characteristics are more improved in the case of 16-phase grating. But the degree of improvement becomes lowered c(Impaled with 8-phase grating. We made a 16-phase annular grating and measured its MTF. The experimental result agrees well with the calculated one.

In order to obtain practical and high-quality satellite images containing high-frequency components, a large aperture optical system is required, which has a limitation in that it greatly increases the payload weight. As an attempt to overcome the problem, many multi-aperture optical systems have been proposed, but in many cases, these optical systems do not include high-frequency components in all directions, and making such an high-quality image is an ill-posed problem. In this paper, we use deep learning to overcome the limitation. A deep learning model receives low-quality images as input, estimates the Point Spread Function, PSF, and combines them to output a single high-quality image. We model images obtained from three rectangular apertures arranged in a regular polygon shape. We also propose the Modulation Transfer Function Loss, MTF Loss, which can capture the high-frequency components of the images. We present qualitative and quantitative results obtained through experiments.

In this study, we have evaluated the effect of amplitude and frequency perturbation of EGG signal during single vowels associated with laryngeal pathology. The normal EGG signal is properly characterized by an autoregressive model which has the optimal order of ninth using the parametric method. This can be analyzed by determining the transfer function. Perturbations in the fundamental pitch and in the peak amplitude of EGG signal derived with a four-electrode system using the modulation/demodulation techniques were investigated for the purpose of developing a decision criteria for the laryngeal function identification.

To evaluate the effects of spherical aberration (SA) correction on optical quality in pseudophakic eyes, we simulated the optical quality of the human eye by computation of the modulation transfer function (MTF). We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent cataract surgery in Asan Medical Center, retrospectively. A Zywave aberrometer was used to measure optical aberrations at 1-12 postoperative months in patients with AR40e intraocular lens implants. The MTF was calculated for a 5 mm pupil from measured wavefront aberrations. The area under the MTF curve (aMTF) was analyzed and the maximal aMTF was calculated while changing the SA ($-0.2{\sim}+0.2{\mu}m$) and the defocus (-2.0 ~ +2.0 D). Sixty-four eyes in 51 patients were examined. The maximal aMTF was $6.61{\pm}2.16$ at a defocus of $-0.25{\pm}0.66D$ with innate SA, and $7.64{\pm}2.63$ at a defocus of $0.08{\pm}0.53D$ when the SA was 0 (full correction of SA). With full SA correction, the aMTF increased in 47 eyes (73.4%; Group 1) and decreased in 17 eyes (26.6%; Group 2). There were statistically significant differences in Z(3, -1) (vertical coma; P = 0.01) and Z(4, 4) (tetrafoil; P = 0.04) between the groups. The maximal aMTF was obtained at an SA of $+0.01{\mu}m$ in Group 1 and an SA of $+0.13{\mu}m$ in Group 2. Optical quality can be improved by full correction of SA in most pseudophakic eyes. However, residual SA might provide benefits in eyes with significant radially asymmetric aberrations.

디지털 X선영상으로 출력한 화상데이터를 Personal Computer로 가져와서 디지털 특성곡선, MTF, 위너스펙트럼을 계산할 수가 있다. 여기서는 디지털화상의 선예도를 후지타(藤田) 등의 이론에 의한 프리샘플링(presampling) Modualtion Transfer Function(MTF)을 산출하고 보정하는 방법에 대하여 검토하였다. 사용한 프로그램은 엑셀이며 슬릿의 촬영, 디지털 특성곡선, 합성 LSF법, 이산 퓨리어 변환, 고속 퓨리어 변환 등의 순서로 기술하였다. 이 방법의 커다란 장점은 퓨리어트랜스폼의 공식과 MTF 산출과정을 완전히 이해할 수 있다는 점과, 별도로 값비싼 프로그램이나 컴퓨터언어를 배우지 않았어도 MTF 결과를 산출할 수가 있다는 것이다. 그리고 워크시트 표시되는 엑셀의 장점을 그대로 살려 X선 영상계의 오류나 산출결과의 부적합성을 발견하기 쉽다는 점이다.

Digital Radiography(DR) 시스템은 임상현장에서 아날로그 시스템을 대체하고 널리 이용되고 있다. DR을 이용하여 얻어진 X선 영상의 해상력을 결정짓는 요소에는 이용되는 검출기의 고유 해상력, 피사체의 대조도 및 특성, X선 선질, X선원의 산란, DR 검출기의 성능, X선 변환효율 및 초점의 크기, 피사체의 움직임 등이 있다. DR 검출기를 구성하는 요소에는 X선 포획 요소, 커플링 요소, 정보수집 요소가 있는데 이들은 시스템의 성능에 영향을 미치며, 그 성능은 해상력으로 평가된다. 의료영상 시스템의 해상력은 촬영대상물의 조직 간의 해부학적 영상을 구분하는 능력을 나타낸다. 해상력 평가를 위해 Modulation Transfer Function(MTF)이 보편적으로 이용되고, MTF는 입력 공간주파수 성분에 대한 출력 공간주파수 성분의 비를 나타내는데, 수학적으로 MTF는 Point Spread Function(PSF) 입력에 대한 시스템의 주파수 응답이며 Edge Phantom을 이용한 결과 영상에서 추출된 Line Spread Function(LSF)을 Fourier Transform하면 얻을 수 있다. 일반적으로 임상현장에서 의료영상시스템의 이용 및 관리의 책임은 방사선사가 맡고 있지만, MTF를 측정하기 위해서는 공학적, 수학적 기초 및 C, Fortran, Matlab등의 프로그램 작성 능력이 필요하기 때문에 비 공학도는 정확한 측정이 불가능하다. 의료영상 시스템의 성능 관리 및 최상의 상태를 유지하기 위해 시스템의 성능평가가 이뤄져야 하는데, 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 비공학도가 해상력 성능평가를 할수 있도록 ImageJ 및 Excel을 이용하여 해상력 평가를 할 수 있도록 방법을 제시하고, 제안된 방법을 이용해 계산된 결과와 프로그래밍을 이용해 계산된 결과의 비교를 통해 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법의 유용성을 확인하였다.
