The conclusions after appraisal usefulness of korean 30 kHz inverter type X-ray equipments which are currently used in the clinics are like those followings. 1. The specific characters of mA, kVp, msec in the radiography keep very good accuracy and showed good waveform also under KS regulations. 2. The output of the X-ray equipment is showed 1.7 times higher than single-phase. 3. mA, kVp of the fluoroscopy and Sopt film exposure mA, kVp showed appropriated results under the regulations. 4. As we consider the conversion factor of image intensifier tube used for two years, it showed pretty high results, 310 at 75 kV, and knew that the conversion factor which followed by increasing kVp increased its computations like Kim's experimentation. Those X-ray equipment showed excellent results in the appraisal while those were operating so we think that those X-ray equipments will be substitute for expensive foreign equipment in korean domestic medical equipment in the future.

The mechanical alloying (MA) effect in $\sigma$-VFe intermetallic compound was studied by neutron and X-ray diffraction. The structure of MA $\sigma$-VFe powders were characterized by the X- ray diffraction with Cu- $K\alpha$ radiation and neutron diffraction with monochromatic neutrons of $1.835\AA$ using a high resolution powder diffractometer (HRPD). Mechanical alloying of $\sigma$-VFe compound gives rise to a dramatic structural change. After 60 hours of MA, the Fe-Fe distribution of the $\sigma$- phase VFe tetragonal structure with 30 atoms in a unit cell is found to change into that of the $\sigma$-(V,Fe) solid solution with bcc structure, which is a stable phase at elevated temperature above $1200^{\circ}C$. A comparison of X-ray diffraction data for the $\alpha$-phase has been also made with the corresponding neutron diffraction data. The (101) and (111) diffraction peaks of the $\sigma$-phase was clearly observed only in neutron diffraction pattern, which is believed to be a characteristic feature due to the chemical atomic ordering of $\sigma$- VFe phase.

In diagnostic X-ray examinations, dose assessments for pregnant female and fetus are realistically difficult, and related research is also lacking. Therefore, in this study, the purpose of the simulation was to analyze the dose and fetal dose for pregnant female during abdominal X-ray examination. Based on the data presented in ICRP 89, this study produced phantom reconstructed of the existing prenatal phantom, which was used to analyze the evaluation of the organ dose and fetal dose of pregnant female according to pregnancy week and the difference between the dose of the existing phantom and the reconstructed phantom. As a result, the abdominal X-ray test showed a tendency to show higher doses for organs close to the direction of the source joining. In addition, it was confirmed that fetal doses in posteroanterior position were reduced by more than 65% compared with anteroposterior position.

Radiation exposure exposed during mammography, which is performed for early examination of breast cancer, has also been suggested as a cause of carcinogenesis in the past, and scattered rays generated during examination may cause unnecessary radiation exposure to surrounding organs. In this study, the Monte Carlo simulation was used to evaluate the human organ doses exposed during conventional mammography, and to estimate the dose reduction effect for each organ when using 3D printing materials for radiation protection by scattered rays. As a result of organ dose evaluation, the breast on the opposite side of the examination was about 22.0% of the breast on the test side and about 58.6% on the eye, which was highly influenced by the scattering-ray. When using the 3D printing shield to protect it, the breast on the opposite side of the test showed an effective dose reduction effect at a thickness of 1 mm.

In order to obtain more clear x-ray images, an antiscatter grid, which can absorb the scattered rays, is employed. The artifacts due to the grid pattern are, however, visible, and thus should be removed by employing digital filters. For over exposed x-ray images, the strength of the grid artifacts are too big to be removed if fixed-bandwidth filters are employed. In this paper, for an efficient grid artifact reduction, we analyze the characteristics of the image formation and image saturation as the x-ray exposure increases. We can notice that, as the saturation begins to occur, the maximum of the artifact component decreases contrary to increasing exposure amount. We propose then an adaptive filtering algorithm for reduction of the grid artifacts, where the significant-signal bandwidth of the artifact component is used to choose appropriate filter bandwidths. The proposed algorithm is tested for real x-ray digital images, and can efficiently remove the grid artifacts.
