진단용 X선 투시촬영장치는 고전압발생장치를 필요로 하며, 이에 대용량 전원설비를 갖춘 X선 고전압 발생장치의 개발이 요구되고 있다. X선 투시촬영장치는 단시간 고출력의 촬영과 장시간 저출력의 투시가 가능해야 하므로 고용량의 상용 AC 전원을 사용해야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 EDLC를 에너지 저장장치로 사용하여 저용량의 AC전원만으로 투시 및 촬영이 가능한 X선 투시촬영장치용 고전압발생장치를 제안한다. 에너지 저장장치를 기반으로 한 32[kW]급의 X선 투시촬영장치용 고전압발생장치를 구성하고 시뮬레이션 통하여 제안한 고전압발생장치의 효용성을 입증한다.

본 논문에서는 시간 간격을 두고 활영한 흉부의 단순 x선 영상의 차영상을 이용하여 컴퓨터 도움 진단에 활용할 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 시간 간격을 두고 촬영한 흉부 단순 x선 영상의 차영상은 시간에 따른 변화를 명확히 보여줌으로써 질병의 조기진단 및 질병의 전개과정 등을 알아보는데 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. 특히, 이 방법은 폐암과 같이 조기진단이 매우 어려운 질병에 대하여 정기검진 등에서 정기적으로 촬영한 단순 x선 영상을 이용하여 조기진단을 할 수 있는 방법으로 활용될 수 있다. 그러나, 촬영시의 여러 가지 조건들, x선의 세기와 조영시간, 환자의 촬영 자세 및 호흡 상태 등에 따라 단순 x선 영상이 크게 달라져 단순한 뺄셈에 의한 차영상은 진단에 도움이 되지 못한다. 진단에 도움을 주기 위해서는 두 영상 사이의 전체적인 밝기와 대조도를 맞추고 늑골, 쇄골 등 해부학적 구조물의 위치와 크기를 서로 맞추어 차영상을 얻는 영상처리 방법이 필요하다. 또한, 폐의 크기와 위치도 서로 맞추어 차영상을 얻어야 한다. 그러나, 이러한 방법도 늑골과 폐의 크기와 위치 변화가 서로 일치하지 않는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영상처리를 통하여 차영상을 얻는 방법에 대하여 논하고 방법상의 문제점과 해결 방법을 제시한다.

In the present study, space doses generated during X-ray radiography of hand, head, and abdomen, etc. were examined and whether the intensity of space doses of scattering rays is attenuated by the "inverse square law of distance" was figured out. First, the space doses of X-ray with small amounts of generated scattering rays such as hand radiography were mostly attenuated by the "inverse square law of distance" and were not detected at all at a distance of 2m. Second, the space doses of X-ray with large amounts of generated scattering rays such as head or abdomen radiography attenuated in higher rates than the rates under the "inverse square law of distance" at distances ranging from 30cm to 1m from the center of the irradiation field and were attenuated by the "inverse square law of distance" at distances ranging from 1m to 2m. Therefore, in X-ray rooms, the subject should be at least 2m away from the center of the irradiation field in the case of hand radiography and X-ray exposure prevention actions using protective devices are required in the entire spaces of the X-ray rooms in the case of head or abdomen radiography.

The purpose of this study is to warm up the conventional X-ray table by inventing and design for X-ray table with an attached heating device using less unloaded X-ray, CNT (carbon nano tube) heating element. Configuration of the product design for adhesive carbon heating element X-ray is composed of a conventional X-ray table, carbon nano tube planar heating element, an electrode line, flame resisting protective film, and the bottom film. Characteristics and advantages of this invented product is to provide gentle feeling, the sense of security, and eliminating anxiety to the patient wearing a patient gown and feel the cool air while receiving the test. Thus we are strongly recommend to use this device in the clinical situation.

In this paper, we proposed the microcalcification detection algorithm which is based on wavelet transform and automatic thresholding method in the X-ray mammographic images. Digital X-ray imaging system is essential equipment in the field diagnosis and is widely used in the various fields such as chest, fracture of a bone, and dental correction. Especially, digital X-ray mammographic imaging is known as the most important method to diagnose the breast cancer, many researches to develop the imaging system are processing in country. In this paper, we proposed a microcalcifications detection algorithm necessary in the early phase of breast cancer diagnosis and showed that a algorithm could effectively detect microcalfication and could aid diagnosis-radiologist.

위 X선 검사에 많이 사용되고 있는 방법은 충만법, 2중조영법, 압박법, 점막법, 유동법이 있으며, 검사목적에 따라 각 방법을 조합하여 실시하고 있다. 따라서 각 검사법의 장 단점과 촬영체위에 따르는 위의 묘출영역을 알아둘 필요가 있다. 이것을 이해하기 위해서는 위의 해부학적 위치관계를 알고 있어야 한다. 또한 입위(선자세)와 와위(누운자세), 체위변환을 할 때에 위의 형태가 변화되는 것을 알아야 하며, 더욱 위의 형태는 개인에 따라 심한 차이가 있어 임기응변으로 대응을 할 수 있는 능력이 있어야한다. 따라서 위 X선검사를 잘 하기 위해서는 일반촬영과 달라서 병리해부학적인 성상을 잘 알고 검사에 대응해야 하며, 위 X선검사는 지속적인 연수와 훈련이 필요한 촬영법이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the scattered dose of X-ray at a distance of 30cm from the area to be examined when X-ray field is the most optimized and maximized when X-ray is performed on hand, skull and abdomen. As a result of scattered dose of X-ray on hand, skull and abdomen, first, when X-ray field was the most optimized upon adult X-ray examination, it was $0.08{\mu}Sv$, $4.39{\mu}Sv$ and $5.56{\mu}Sv$, respectively. When x-ray field was maximized, it was $0.58{\mu}Sv$, $33.47{\mu}Sv$ and $35.93{\mu}Sv$, respectively. Second, when X-ray field was the most optimized upon pediatric X-ray examination, it was $0.40{\mu}Sv$, $14.51{\mu}Sv$ and $18.86{\mu}Sv$, respectively. When x-ray field was maximized, it was $2.78{\mu}Sv$, $107.40{\mu}Sv$ and $117.52{\mu}Sv$, respectively(P<0.001). As a result, when the size of X-ray field was decreased down to be necessary and optimal upon X-ray examination, emission of scattered X-ray around specimen is reduced approximately 6-7 times as much as that when it was maximized.

Conventional periphery radiography system has a various problem such as patient dose and the pain of X-ray examination. In this paper, to solve these problems, we suggested insertional miniature x-ray system and we verified the feasibility of this system. First, we performed the Geant4 x-ray simulation to design x-ray collimator and filter to use miniature x-ray tube and we decided optimized thickness of filter and collimator. Also, we measured x-ray spectrum using CdTe detector and PX4 module to verify simulation results. Also, we acquired teeth image of fabricated phantom using conventional dental x-ray and prosed miniature x-ray system. As a results, our system has good image quality as compared to those of conventional systems. Our evaluation of the proposed system indicates that it can be potentially very useful for dental imaging.

This study is to figure out the amount of primary X-ray generated in SID 50cm, 1m, and 2m penetrating protective aprons in X-ray radiography for hands, skull, and lumbar spine. Results are as follows: Firstly, the exposure dose of primary X-ray which is low such as that of hand X-ray may be reduced by 270 times if protective aprons are worn, but it still slightly penetrates 0.3mm thick Pb protective aprons at SID 50cm, 1m, and 2m. Secondly, the exposure dose of primary X-ray which is moderate such as that of skull X-ray may be reduced by 22 times if protective aprons are worn, but it still fairly penetrates 0.3mm thick Pb protective aprons at SID 50cm, 1m, and 2m. Thirdly, the exposure dose of primary X-ray which is very high such as that of lumbar spine X-ray may be reduced by 13 times if protective aprons are worn, but it still penetrates a lot 0.3mm thick Pb protective aprons at SID 50cm, 1m, and 2m. Therefore, people in X-ray room should not only wear protective aprons at any spaces that the primary X-ray can reach, but also need to stand behind the thick Pb shield to protect the body if it is inevitable to stay in the room.

The purpose of this study is to examine how much the movement at X-ray examinations like breathing or the positioning affects the image during chest or abdomen X-ray examination so as to create an image containing information as much as possible. The study method adopted is doing the X-ray in each of the states including breathing (inspiration & expiration) and movement in the standing chest PA X-ray and simple abdomen X-ray among the kinds of examination selected the most in hospitals and then evaluating them by applying the standards of image evaluation for each region. According to the study result, about the standing chest PA X-ray, the images taken at inspiration contain more information than those taken at expiration or having subtle movement during the examination. About the simple abdomen X-ray, the images taken at expiration contain more information than those taken at inspiration or movement. The above study results imply that regarding general X-ray examination, information we can find from the images may differ significantly according to the region examined, examination purpose, or movement during the examination like breathing.
