In addition to protocol adjustments during CT examinations, the height of the CT table can also affect image quality. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the change in image quality depending on the height of the table in brain CT, which accounts for a large proportion of CT examinations, by measuring signal to contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and noise power spectrum (NPS) using the head phantom and evaluating them. The head phantom images were acquired using Philips Brilliance iCT 256. When the image was acquired, the table height was adjusted to 815, 865, 915, 965, 1015, and 1030 mm, respectively, and each scan was performed 3 times for each height. The CNR result showed the highest value at 965 mm, which is the height adjacent to the center of the head phantom. NPS showed the lowest NPS at 915 mm, the center of the head phantom in the low frequency region. From these results, it can be seen that the height of the table in CT examination is closely related to the image quality, and it can be seen the characteristics of image quality according to CT table through quantitative evaluation methods such as CNR and NPS.

The height of the table should be considered important during computed tomography (CT) examination, but according to previous studies, not all radiology technologists set the table at the patient's center at the examination, which affects the exposure dose and image quality received by the patient. Therefore, this study intends to study the image quality exposure dose according to the height of the table to realize the optimal image quality and dose during the brain CT scan. The head phantom images were acquired using Philips Brilliance iCT 256. When the image was acquired, the table height was adjusted to 815, 865, 915, 965, 1015, and 1030 mm, respectively, and each scan was performed 3 times for each height. For the exposure dose measurement, optically stimulated luminescence dosimeter (OSLD) was attached to the front, side, eye, and thyroid gland of the head phantom. In the signal to noise ratio (SNR) measurement result, The SNR values for each table height were all lower than 915 mm. As a result of exposure dose, the exposure dose on each area increased as the table height decreased. The height of the table has a close relationship with the patient's radiation exposure dose in the CT scan.

Kano model distinguishes three types of customer requirements, namely, one-dimensional quality, must-be quality, and attractive quality. There are a few methods for classifying a given customer requirement into one of the Kano's quality elements. However, the existing methods have a common limitation in that they are based on Kano evaluation table. Kano evaluation table is not always effective for the classification task, and suffers from a significant information loss. This paper proposes an alternative to Kano's evaluation table and a new classification scheme based on fuzzy set concept. The proposed method is illustrated using a case study on the ADSL service.

A quality assurance of computed tomography(CT) have done seven items that were water attenuation coefficient, noise, homogeneity, spatial resolution, contrast resolution, slice thickness, artifact using by standard phantom. But there is no quality assurance items and methods for CT simulator at domestic institutions yet. Therefore the study aimed to access the CT dose index(CTDI), table tilting, image distortion, laser accuracy, table movement accuracy and CT seven items for CT simulator quality assurance. The CTDI at the center of the head phantom was 0.81 for 80 kVp, 1.55 for 100 kVp, 2.50 for 120 mm, 0.22 for 80 kVp at the center of the body phantom, 0.469 for 100 kVp, and 0.81 for 120 kVp. The table tilting was within the tolerance range of ±1.0° or less. Image distortion had 1 mm distortion in the left and right images based on the center, and the laser accuracy was measured within ±2 mm tolerance. The purpose of this study is to improve the quality assurance items suitable for the current situation in Korea in order to protect the normal tissues during the radiation treatment process and manage the CT simulator that is implemented to find the location of the tumor more clearly. In order to improve the accuracy of the CT simulator when looking at the results, the error range of each item should be small. It is hoped that the quality assurance items of the CT simulator will be improved by suggesting the quality assurance direction of the CT simulator in this study, and the results of radiation therapy will also improve.

컴퓨터그래픽스에서 고품질의 렌즈 플레어 생성은 대부분 오프라인 렌더링을 사용해왔다. 최근, 행렬 기반의 근사를 사용하여 실시간 응용에 적합한 고품질의 렌즈 플레어 생성이 가능해졌지만, 렌즈플레어의 선형 패턴만 지원하므로 그 품질이 저하되었다. 이에 본 연구는 비선형 렌즈 플레어 패턴을 선형 패턴의 렌즈 플레어 렌더링에 블렌딩하여 선형/비선형 패턴을 모두 포함하는 고품질의 렌즈 플레어 렌더링 방법을 소개한다. 비선형패턴은 오프라인에서 미리 렌더링하거나 사진을 찍어 룩업테이블에 저장하고, 온라인 렌더링에서는 광원의 각도에 따라 읽어오기만 하므로, 기존의 방법보다 고품질을 가지면서도 성능저하가 거의 없는 고성능 렌더링이 가능하다.

기존의 영상 스케일러(scaler)들은 연산량과 하드웨어 복잡도를 줄이기 위해 선형 보간과 같은 간단한 보간을 적용함으로써 화질을 희생시키거나, 고품질 영상을 얻기 위하여 복잡한 보간 기법을 적용함으로써 전력소모와 크기가 큰 하드웨어 구조를 적용하여 왔다. 그러나 영상기기들의 소형화와 고화질 영상에 대한 사용자들의 욕구 증대로 소형, 저전력이면서 결과 영상의 화질 또한 우수한 스케일러의 개발이 중요시되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 실시간, 고화질, 소형, 저전력의 목표를 모두 달성할 수 있는 래스터 스캔(raster scan) 방식의 스케일러 하드웨어 구조를 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 스케일러는 기존의 3차 보간(cubic interpolation) 기법과 룩업테이블(look-up table) 구조를 개선하여 저전력화와 소형화를 달성하였다. 제안하는 스케일러 구조의 특징은 기존의 실시간 스케일러가 포함하던 버퍼를 라인메모리로 대체하여 메모리 접근 횟수를 줄임으로써 저전력을 달성할 수 있도록 했다는 것이며, 또한 기존의 룩업테이블 구조에서 사용하던 3차 보간 수식을 재정리하여 곱셈기 수와 룩업테이블의 크기를 줄임으로써 하드웨어를 소형화하는 방법을 제안하였다. 마지막으로 사용되는 계수의 크기에 따른 결과를 분석하여 영상의 화질과 하드웨어 크기 간의 최적의 타협점을 제시하였다.
