Digital radiography imaging systems can also help diagnose lesions in patients, but if x-rays that enter the human body cause scatter x-ray due to interaction with substances, they affect the signal and noise characteristics of digital x-ray images. To regard the human body as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and observe the properties of scattered x-ray generated from PMMA on x-ray images, we analyze signal and noise in the spatial domain as well as noise-power spectrum (NPS), and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) at zero frequency. As PMMA thickness increased, signals decreased, the noise increased, and NPS degradation was identified in overall spatial frequencies. Based on these characteristics, zero-frequency performance was also shown to be degraded. Comparative analysis with Monte-carlo simulations will need to be made to analyze the zero-frequency performance by scattered x-ray of indirect conversion-type x-ray detectors more quantitatively.

하이브리드 코팅 시스템을 이용하여 $CrMoC_xN_{1-x}$ 박막을 AISI D2와 실리콘 웨이퍼 모재 위에 증착하였다. 박막 내 탄소 함량은 $CH_4/(CH_4+N_2)$ 가스 유량 증가에 비례하여 증가했다. 탄소 함량이 0.33일 때 44GPa의 최대강도 및 -4.4GPa의 잔류응력을 나타내었다. CrMoN 박막의 평균 마찰계수는 0.42이지만, 탄소함량을 증가함에 따라 0.31까지 감소 하였다. 이것은 박막 표면과 스틸볼 사이에서 탄소가 풍부한 층이 형성되어 일종의 고체윤활제 역할을 했기때문이다. 박막의 미세조직은 X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, 그리고 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy를 이용하여 분석하였다.

In this study, The degree of scoliosis, an algorithm that can automatically detect was developed. Developed system was used for X-ray imaging source. The formula for the degree of curvature of the spine of the S <0, and, L> 0 is satisfied with the condition $Y=SX^2+L$ is a function expression. X-axis length can be changed and applied equally in all spline function graph, and the slope is $S=-L/92^2$. The graph on the degree of scoliosis of the differential equation Y'= 2SX could see that the extracted spine wire for the classification and the classification of scoliosis, the degree is determined as the available algorithms.

Recently, small-animal imaging technology has been rapidly developed for longitudinal screening of laboratory animals such as mice and rats. One of newly developed imaging modalities for small animals is an x-ray micro-CT (computed tomography). We have developed two types of x-ray micro-CT systems for small animal imaging. Both systems use flat-panel x-ray detectors and micro-focus x-ray sources to obtain high spatial resolution of $10{\mu}m$. In spite of the relatively large field-of-view (FOV) of flat-panel detectors, the spatial resolution in the whole-body imaging of rats should be sacrificed down to the order of $100{\mu}m$ due to the limited number of x-ray detector pixels. Though the spatial resolution of cone-beam CTs can be improved by moving an object toward an x-ray source, the FOV should be reduced and the object size is also limited. To overcome the limitation of the object size and resolution, we introduce zoom-in micro-tomography for high-resolution imaging of a local region-of-interest (ROI) inside a large object. For zoom-in imaging, we use two kinds of projection data in combination, one from a full FOV scan of the whole object and the other from a limited FOV scan of the ROI. Both of our micro-CT systems have zoom-in micro-tomography capability. One of both is a micro-CT system with a fixed gantry mounted with an x-ray source and a detector. An imaged object is laid on a rotating table between a source and a detector. The other micro-CT system has a rotating gantry with a fixed object table, which makes whole scans without rotating an object. In this paper, we report the results of in vivo small animal study using the developed micro-CTs.

As most the scanning systems developed until now provide radiation scan plane images of the inspected objects, there has been a limitation in judging exactly the shape of the objects inside a logistics container exactly with only 2-D radiation image information. Two 2-dimensional radiation images which have different disparity values are acquired from a newly designed stereo image acquisition system which has one additional line sensor to the conventional system. Using a matching algorithm the 3D reconstruction process which find the correspondence between the images is progressed. In this paper, we proposed a new volume based 3D reconstruction algorithm and experimental results show the proposed new volume based reconstruction technique can provide more efficient visualization for cargo inspection. The proposed technique can be used for the development of the high speed and more efficient non-destructive auto inspection system.

In this study, we proposed pathological pattern detection system for X-ray chest image using artificial neural network. In a physical examination, radiologists have checked on the chest image projected the view box by a magnifying glass and found out what the disease is. Here, the detection of X-ray fluoroscopy is tedious and time-consuming for human doing. Lowering of efficiency for chest diagnosis is caused by lots mistakes of radiologist because of detecting the micro pathology from the film of small size. So, we proposed the method for disease detection using artificial neural network and digital image processing on a X-ray chest image. This method composes the function of image sampling, median filter, image equalizer used neural network and pattern recognition used neural network. We confirm this method has improved the problem of a conventional method.

We report some recent results in the rewritable Blu-ray Disc with enhanced overwrite cyclability by using the growth dominant eutectic based Ge(Sb70Te30)+Sb recording layer, GeN interface layer and write strategy optimization. We have developed phase-change optical media with appropriate write strategy for 36(i.e., 1X)-72Mbps(i.e., 2X) dual speed Blu-ray Disc system and fur the future high speed optical data storage. For recording layer, eutectic-based Ge(Sb70Te30)+Sb material was used and Sb/Te ratio and Ge content were optimized to obtain proper erasability and archival stability of recorded amorphous marks. The recording layer is wrapped up in GeN interface layers to obtain overwrite cyclability and higher crystallization speed. In addition, we designed appropriate write strategy so called Time-Shifted Multipulse (TSMP) write strategy where starting position of multipulse parts are shined from reference clock. With this write strategy, the jitter characteristics of the disc was improved and we found that leading edge jitter was improved much more than trailing edge jitter in 1X-2X speed recording. Finally, we investigated the higher speed feasibility of 144Mbps(i.e., 4X) by adopting some elemental doping to the eutectic based Ag-In-Sb-Te recording layer and structural optimization of constitution layers in Blu-ray Disc. In the paper, we report the effect of Sn addition for the feasibility of higher speed recording. The addition of Sn shows increases of the crystallization speed of phase change recording layer.
