Perfusion magnetic resonance image of biological mechanism are independent of magnetic field strength in hyper acute ischemic stroke. 3.0 T magnetic field, however, does affect the SNRs (signal to noise ratio) and artifacts of PMRI (perfusion magnetic resonance image), which basically will influence the quantitative of PMRI. In this study, the effects of field strength on PMRI are analyzed. The effects of the diseases also are discussed. PMRI in WM(white matter), GM (gray matter), hyper acute ischemic stroke were companied with 1.5 T and 3.0 T on SNR. PMRI also was compared to the SI difference after setting ROI(region of interest) in left and right side of the brain. In conclusion, the SNRs and SI of the 3.0 T PMRI showed higher than those at 1.5 T. In summary, PMRI studies at 3.0 T is provided significantly improved perfusion evaluation when comparing with 1.5 T.

영상의학 분야에서 초음파 검사의 중요성이 강조되며 영상평가에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 또한 표준화 되지 않은 기준과 방법으로 영상평가를 시행하고 있어 법적규정과 객관적인 평가기준마련이 시급한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 기존의 초음파 영상평가의 한계와 제한적 방법을 보완하고 정량적인 방법을 제시하고자 SNR의 영상평가 실험을 실시하였다. ATS-539 다목적 초음파팬텀을 이용해 획득된 8가지 팬텀영상방법과 예민도, 회색조와 역학범위 두 항목의 SNR 결과를 비교 및 분석하였다. 실험결과 기존의 영상평가결과에서의 우수한 장비는 G1 S1, G2의 순으로 나타났다. 논문에서 제안하는 실험으로 예민도의 SNR 결과는 G1, S1, G2 순으로, 회색조와 역학범위 항목의 SNR 결과는 S1, G1, G2의 순으로 나타났다. 결과에서 기존의 초음파 영상평가 방법과 제시하는 정량적 영상평가 방법이 큰 차이를 보이지도, 일치하지도 않게 나타났다. 객관적이고 정량적인 초음파영상장치의 평가를 위해서는 기존의 팬텀을 이용한 영상평가방법과 SNR을 이용한 영상평가의 측정방법도 함께 평가되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Depth sensitivity is considered one of the factors influencing 3D displays the most. In this paper, the perceptual 3D depth was quantitatively measured to compare the depth difference among the display devices. No difference was found in the typical display performance among the devices, but the subjective evaluation of the depth sensitivity where the disparity was varied showed that the organic light emitting diode (OLED) had the highest performance, mainly due to its almost 0% crosstalk, one of the features of OLED. Crosstalk is a form of image superposition that greatly affects the depth sensitivity. The experiment results showed that the quantitative depth sensitivity varies due to geometric factors such as disparity, viewing distance, and subjective sensitivity, depending on the display image characteristics, such as crosstalk and contrast.

We carried out the human visual evaluation on PDPs and LCDs to clarify the viewer preference and the related physical and physiological factors. In the subjective evaluation, the impression test using the semantic differential method was carried out. In the objective evaluation, the eye motion tracking system was used. Our study showed that considering the real usage, the optimum display for viewers was that which showed more soft and smooth image without blurring.

본 연구의 목적은 시간 분해능이 향상된 비지역적 평균 (fast non local means, FNLM) 노이즈 제거 알고리즘을 모델링하여 광학 현미경 영상에서의 적용 가능성을 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 실제 흰쥐 (mouse)의 첫째어금니 치아를 사용하여 영상을 획득한 후 기존에 널리 사용되고 있는 노이즈 제거 알고리즘과 제안하는 FNLM 알고리즘을 각각 적용하여 비교하였다. 정량적 평가는 대조도 대 잡음비 (contrast to noise ratio, CNR), 변동계수 (coefficient of variation, COV), 그리고 최근에 개발된 no reference 기반의 방법인 natural image quality evaluator (NIQE)와 Blind/referenceless image spatial quality evaluator (BRISQUE)를 사용하였다. 결과적으로 모든 정량적 평가 인자에서 제안하는 FNLM 노이즈 제거 알고리즘이 가장 우수한 값을 나타내었다. 특히나 치아의 전체적인 형태학적 영상을 분석할 수 있는 NIQE와 BRISQUE 인자는 원본영상에 비하여 각각 1.14와 1.12배 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 소동물 치아 광학 현미경 영상에서의 FNLM 노이즈 제거 알고리즘의 유용성 및 가능성을 증명하였다.

This study was purpose to quantitative evaluation of comparison of the image intensity uniformity and noise power spectrum (NPS) by using American college of radiology (ACR) phantom for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI was used achiva 3.0T MRI and discovery MR 750, 3.0T, the head and neck matrix shim SENSE head coil were 32 channels receive MR coil. The MRI was used parameters of image sequence for ACR standard and general hospital. NPS value of the ACR standard T2 vertical image in GE equipment was 7.65E-06 when the frequency was 1.0 mm^-1. And the NPS value of the ACR hospital T1 region of interest (ROI) 9 over all vertical image in Philips equipment was 9E-08 when the frequency was 1.0 mm^-1 and the NPS value of the hospital T2 ROI 9 over all vertical image in Philips equipment was 1.06E-07 when the frequency was 1.0 mm^-1. NPS was used efficiently by using a general hospital vertical sequence more than the standard vertical sequence method by using the ACR phantom. Furthermore NPS was the quantitative quality assurance (QA) assessment method for noise and image intensity uniformity characteristics was applied mutatis mutandis, and the results values of the physical imaging NPS of the 3.0T MRI and ACR phantom were presented.

A new optimal scheme based on curvelet transform is proposed for retinal image enhancement (RIE) using real-coded quantum genetic algorithm. Curvelet transform has better performance in representing edges than classical wavelet transform for its anisotropy and directional decomposition capabilities. For more precise reconstruction and better visualization, curvelet coefficients in corresponding subbands are modified by using a nonlinear enhancement mapping function. An automatic method is presented for selecting optimal parameter settings of the nonlinear mapping function via quantum genetic search strategy. The performance measures used in this paper provide some quantitative comparison among different RIE methods. The proposed method is tested on the DRIVE and STARE retinal databases and compared with some popular image enhancement methods. The experimental results demonstrate that proposed method can provide superior enhanced retinal image in terms of several image quantitative evaluation indexes.

Image noise reduction algorithm performs important functions in light microscopy. This study aims to systematically review the research trend of types and performance evaluation methods of noise reduction algorithm in light microscopic images. A systematic literature search of three databases of publications from January 1985 to May 2020 was conducted; of the 139 publications reviewed, 16 were included in this study. For each research result, the subjects were categorized into four major frameworks-1. noise reduction method, 2. imaging technique, 3. imaging type, and 4. evaluation method-and analyzed. Since 2003, related studies have been conducted and published, and the number of papers has increased over the years and begun to decrease since 2016. The most commonly used method of noise reduction algorithm for light microscopy images was wavelet-transform-based technology, which was mostly applied in basic systems. In addition, research on the real experimental image was performed more actively than on the simulation condition, with the main case being to use the comparison parameter as an evaluation method. This systematic review is expected to be extremely useful in the future method of numerically analyzing the noise reduction efficiency of light microscopy images.
