Please Interests in the medical service are increasing in internet environment as life quality of the people improves because of development in information and medical technology. The medical information in today's modern internet environment can violate privacy of the patients. Many medical institutions in Korea are very passive in the privacy protection of patients in the internet environment. The law, standard scheme and systematic guidance to prevent drain of medical information are not developed. This study examines cases of infringement pattern on information of each patient in the internet environment. This study will also try to find a solution to protect the personal information of patients in the internet environment in the measures of law system, technique and management.

In modern society, diseases are variously found. Also, disease can be fatal once starting attack or one misses the proper medical examination time. According to the development of society, our liver settled on exhausted status which causes high disease development ratio because of excess business, smoking and drinking. Especially liver related disease cannot be recovered, therefore it depends on internal organ transplant surgery. In this paper, calculate volume from rendered liver shape using 3-dimensional image processing method and we develop an image processing method for the image acquired by MDCT, that can simulate incision line decision according to blood vessel segmentation that can be used on liver transplant operation. Simulation results which adopt automatic liver segment abstraction algorithm show that it can help surgical operation.

This paper suggest the image compression that is needed to process PACS in medical information system. The image decoding method is used Linear-predictor and Lloyd-Max quantizer(quantization) in the Wavelet transform domain. Wavelet Transform Method is processed the multi-resolution by dividing image into 10 sub-bands of 3 levels. Low frequency domain that is sensitive to human visual characteristic is encoded by DPCM which is lossless encoding methods, and Lloyed-Max quantizer, the optimal quantizer for reducing ringing and aliasing in the image of inter sub-band, is used in the remaining high frequency domain of sub-band. The examination verifies that decompressed images are superior by the result that PSNR is 28.53dB on the input image, 512$\times$152 abdominal CT image and Chest image.

A progressive failure analysis procedure for composite laminates is developed in here and in the companion paper. An anisotropic plastic constitutive model for fiber-reinforced composite material, is developed, which is simple and efficient to be implemented into computer program for a predictive analysis procedure of composites. In current development of the constitutive model, an incremental elastic-plastic constitutive model is adopted to represent progressively the nonlinear material behavior of composite materials until a material failure is predicted. An anisotropic initial yield criterion is established that includes the effects of different yield strengths in each material direction, and between tension and compression. Anisotropic work-hardening model and subsequent yield surface are developed to describe material behavior beyond the initial yield under the general loading condition. The current model is implemented into a computer code, which is Predictive Analysis for Composite Structures (PACS), and is presented in the companion paper. The accuracy and efficiency of the anisotropic plastic constitutive model are verified by solving a number of various fiber-reinforced composite laminates with and without geometric discontinuity. The comparisons of the numerical results to the experimental and other numerical results available in the literature indicate the validity and efficiency of the developed model.

Now a days, PACS and the other image sharing systems use only high-level metadata for hospital to retrieve images. So if you want to retrieve some images, you have to know exact information about the patient. In this paper, we developed a Image Retrieval System based on MPEG-7 to retrieve medical images more efficiently. This system offers keyword retrieval using high-level metadata based of DICOM and similarity retrieval using low-level metadata based on MFEG-7. And we integrated high-level metadata and low-level metadata to retrieve medical images more exactly.

In the medical fields, many efforts have been made to develop and improve Hospital Information System (HIS) including Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Order Communication System (OCS), and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). However, materials generated and used in medical fields have various types and forms. The current HISs separately store and manage them by different systems, even though they relate to each other and contain redundant data. These systems are not helpful particularly in emergency where medical experts cannot check all of clinical materials in the golden time. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a process to build an integrated data model for medical information currently stored in various HISs. The proposed data model integrates vast information by focusing on medical images since they are most important materials for the diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, the model is disease-specific to consider that medical information and clinical materials including images are different by diseases. Two case studies show the feasibility and the usefulness of our proposed data model by building models about two diseases, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ischemic stroke.

원격진료 홈네트워크 아파트 진료용 키오스크 모바일주치의 등으로 대표되는 U-헬스케어에 있어서 기초가 되는 것은 의료정보를 디지털화해서 전자적 자료의 형태로 저장 보관하고 이를 송 수신할 수 있는 기술이라고 할 수 있다. 우리나라의 경우, U-Korea 전략의 하나로 보건복지부가 주축이 되어 2005년 10월 현재 국가보건의료정보화계획(ISP)을 수립하기 위한 작업을 추진중에 있다. 여기서, 예컨대 임상병리검사소견이나 방사선촬영소견 등의 의료정보가 전자적 장치에 의해 디지털화 할 경우 디지털 의료정보가 되는 것이며, 이 가운데 특히 방사선촬영소견 등 방사선분야의 모든 촬영기록이 PACS시스템을 통해 기재되거나 저장 전송될 경우 이를 디지털 의료영상정보라고 할 수 있다. 그런데 오늘날 정보통신기술의 발달로 말미암아 디지털 의료영상정보를 포함한 디지털의료정보는 대량적으로 수집 저장되고 유통 내지 공동활용이 보편화되어 감에 따라 그 의료정보의 보호에 관한 문제가 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. 결론적으로 말하자면, 이러한 디지털 의료영상정보가 전자의무기록(EMR) 형태로 저장 보관되는 경우 이는 전자의무기록에 관한 법률규정이 적용되어 법률적 보호를 받게 되며, 그 보호의 강도는 종래 오프라인 상의 의료정보 보호보다 한층 강화된 규정을 두고 있다. 이와 같은 흐름에 있어서 최근 정부가 국가보건의료정보화계획 수립과 함께 제정작업을 추진하고 있는 가칭 의료정보화촉진 및 개인정보보호에 관한 법률(안)은 시사점이 크다고 보기 때문에 소개하고자 한다.

Carried out an experiment for quantitative evaluation about intraoral sensor among oral dental imaging equipments in PACS environment. For evaluation, testing environment & evaluation criteria are established that refer to the 'IEC 62220-1-2' and experimented with set up the standard radiation penetration that correspond with RQA-3(IEC 61267). Results of experiments using the image J, derived the ESF(edge spread function), LSF (line spread function) and calculated the MTF(modulation transfer function) finally. As a result, the MTF that 0.1, 0.2sec are 10% about 10 lp/mm and 0.32 sec is the 10% about 9 lp/mm in level represents the value of the MTF. Change of scan condition in dental environmental, according to the MTF value taken note that no changes can be seen enough. However, the dimensions of each other size $1(1200{\times}1600)$, size $2(1440{\times}1920)$ intraoral sensors for 3 lp/mm, respectively 40%, 90% of the note might have been the difference between the value of MTF, in accordance with standard sensors might note differences could be observed.

Samples of GaMnAs, GaMnAs codoped with Be, and GaMnAs simultaneously codoped with Be and Mg were grown via low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy (LT-MBE). Be codoping is shown to take the Ga sites into the lattice efficiently and to increase the conductivity of GaMnAs. Additionally, it shifts the semiconducting behavior of GaMnAs to metallic while the Mn concentration in the GaMnAs solid solution is reduced. However, with simultaneous codoping of GaMnAs with Be and Mg, the Mn concentration increases dramatically several times over that in a GaMnAs sample alone. Mg and Be are shown to eject Mn from the Ga sites to form MnAs and MnGa precipitates.
