In order to generate the input data for rapid prototyping, a new approach which is based on the implicit surface interpolation method is presented. In the method a surface is reconstructed by creating smooth implicit surface from unorganized cloud of points through which the surface should pass. In the method an implicit surface is defined by the adaptive local shape functions including quadratic polynomial function, cubic polynomial function and RBF(Radial Basis Function). By the reconstruction of a surface, various types of error in raw STL file including degenerated triangles, undesirable holes with complex shapes and overlaps between triangles can be eliminated automatically. In order to get the slicing data for rapid prototyping an efficient intersection algorithm between implicit surface and plane is developed. For the direct usage for rapid prototyping, a robust transformation algorithm for the generation of complete STL data of solid type is also suggested.

Most material of engineering interest undergoes solidification process from liquid state. Identifying the underlying mechanism during solidification process is essential to determine the microstructure of material thus the physical properties of final product. In this paper, effect of fluid convection on the dendrite solidification morphology is studied using Level Contour Reconstruction Method. Sharp interface technique is used to implement correct boundary condition for moving solid interface. The results showed good agreement with exact boundary integral solution and compared well with other numerical techniques. Effects of Peclet number and undercooling on growth of dendrite tip of both single and multiple seeds have been also investigated.

Delaunay triangulation is well balanced in the sense that the triangles tend toward equiangularity. And so, Delaunay triangulation hasn't some slivers triangle. It's commonly used in various field of CAD applications, such as shape reconstruction, solid modeling and volume rendering. In this paper, an improved Delaunay triangulation is proposed in 2-dimensions. The suggested algorithm subdivides a uniform grids into sub-quad grids, and so efficient where points are non-uniform distribution. To get the mate from quad-subdivision algorithm, the area where triangulation-patch will be most likely created should be searched first.

현재 SPECT 영상에서 가장 많이 활용되는 콜리메이터는 저에너지 고해상도(low energy high resolution : LEHR) 콜리메이터이다. LEHR은 해상도에서 이점을 가지고 있으나 작은 구멍크기와 높은 차단막으로 인하여 높은 민감도 획득에 어려움이 있다. SPECT의 생산성 향상을 위해서는 LEHR보다 높은 민감도를 획득할 수 있는 콜리메이터를 사용하여 단위시간당 획득 카운트의 양을 늘림으로써 민감도를 향상시킬 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 LEHR보다 넓은 구멍을 가진 콜리메이터를 사용할 경우 고민감도 획득과 함께 발생하는 해상도 저하 문제를 해결하기 위한 시스템 모델을 개발하여 이를 반복적 영상재구성에 적용함으로써 저하된 해상도를 개선하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 방법으로는 시스템 모델에서 흔히 사용되는 평행빔 기반의 검출 확률계산 방식 대신 고민감도 콜리메이터 사용 시에 발생하는 퍼짐현상을 팬빔으로 모델링 하였다. 또한 검출확률에 대한 가중치를 거리에 대한 함수로 정의하여 팬빔모델에 적용함으로써 정확성을 향상시켰다. 시뮬레이션으로 생성된 사이노그램에 적용한 결과 본 연구에서 제안된 모델이 평행빔 모델에 비해 동일 카운트에서 유사한 해상도를 달성하면서 촬영시간을 단축시킬 수 있었으며, 동일 촬영시간에서는 해상도를 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 현재 부각되고 있는 반도체 기반 픽셀방식 검출기를 위한 픽셀형 콜리메이터의 해상도 향상에도 효과적으로 적용될 수 있다.

흉벽의 간엽세포종(과오종)은 아주 드문 질환이다. 생후 4개월된 여아로 흉벽에 종괴가 발견되었는데, 반복되는 상기도 감염을 주소로 내원하였다. 단순흉부촬영상 늑골침범과 함께 늑간이 넓어진 소견을 보였다. 흉부전삯화단층될영상 경계가 분명한 고형성 및 낭종성 흉막외 종괴가 관찰되었고 흉부책자 기공명 촬영상 고신호강도와 저 신호강도를 보이는 종괴가 보였다. 환아는 1995년 12월에 종괴를 포함하여 늑골의 일부까지 절제하였으며 thick Gortexpatch를 이용하여 흉벽재건술을 시행받았다. 병리조직학적으로 흉벽간엽세포종(과오종)으로 진단받았으며 수술후 경과는 좋았다.

Membranous glomerulonephritis can manifest as a paraneoplastic syndrome. The presence of evidence that supports the relationship between malignancy and membranous glomerulonephritis remains unresolved, though. Membranous glomerulonephritis has been commonly reported as associated with solid or hematologic malignancy, such as lung cancer, prostate cancer, and gastro-intestinal cancer, but its concomitant existence with skin cancer is rare. This paper reports a case of membranous glomerulonephritis combined with basal cell carcinoma that was successfully treated with the excision of the basal skin cell carcinoma.

In this paper, we have studied the images which have been reconstructed by using combination of images acquired by the variation of operating frequency. When inner images have been reconstructed, they have been superposed by the surface state effect. In this case, the images of the phase object can be enhanced by the contrast of inner images. There is a kind of specimen, one is a reference block having 1/4T, 1/2T, 3/4T side drilled holes as main run piping material of the steam generator in nuclear power plants. It has been shown that the two results of defect shapes have better than before in this processing and phase contrast grow about twice. And we have constructed the acoustic microscope by using a quadrature detector that enables to acquire the amplitude and phase of the reflected signal simultaneously. Further more we have studied the reconstruction method of the amplitude and phase images, the enhancement method of the defect images' contrast.

To present a rare case of a cystic giant schwannoma of the sacrum mimicking aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). A 54-year-old man visited our institute complaining left leg weakness and sensory change for several years. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large multilocular cystic mass with canal invasion and bone erosion confined to left S1 body. The lesion showed multiple septal enhancement without definite solid component. Initially the tumor was considered as ABC. The patient underwent grossly-total tumor resection with lumbosacral reconstruction via posterior approach. The tumor was proved to be a cystic schwannoma. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was relieved from preoperative symptoms. We present a rare case of pure cystic giant schwannoma confined to sacrum mimicking ABC. The surgical treatment is challenging due to the complex anatomy of the sacrum. Schwannoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of osteolytic sacral cysts.

The Delaunay triangular net is primarily characterized by a balance of the whole by improving divided triangular patches into a regular triangle, which closely resembles an equiangular triangle. A triangular net occurring in certain, point-clustered, data is unique and can always create the same triangular net. Due to such unique characteristics, Delaunay triangulation is used in various fields., such as shape reconstruction, solid modeling and volume rendering. There are many algorithms available for Delaunay triangulation but, efficient sequential algorithms are rare. When these grids involve a set of points whose distribution are not well proportioned, the execution speed becomes slower than in a well-proportioned grid. In order to make up for this weakness, the ids are divided into sub-grids when the sets are integrated inside the grid. A method for finding a mate in an incremental construction algorithm is to first search the area with a higher possibility of forming a regular triangular net, while the existing method is to find a set of points inside the grid that includes the circumscribed sphere, increasing the radius of the circumscribed sphere to a certain extent. Therefore, due to its more efficient searching performance, it takes a shorer time to form a triangular net than general incremental algorithms.

The diffuse interface model of Saurel et al. (2008) is used for the computation of compressible cavitating flows around underwater missiles. Such systems use gas injection and natural cavitation to reduce drag effects. Consequently material interfaces appear separating liquid and gas. These interfaces may have a really complex dynamics such that only a few formulations are able to predict their evolution. Contrarily to front tracking or interface reconstruction method the interfaces are computed as diffused numerical zones, that are captured in a routinely manner, as is done usually with gas dynamics solvers for shocks and contact discontinuity. With the present approach, a single set of partial differential equations is solved everywhere, with a single numerical scheme. This leads to very efficient solvers. The algorithm derived in Saurel et al. (2009) is used to compute cavitation pockets around solid bodies. It is first validated against experiments done in cavitation tunnel at CNU. Then it is used to compute flows around high speed underwater systems (Shkval-like missile). Performance data are then computed showing method ability to predict forces acting on the system.
