  • Objectives: Zygomatic complex (ZMC) fractures comprise up to 40% of all facial fractures. Misaligned bone fragments and misplaced fixation hardware traditionally detected postoperatively on plain radiographs of the skull might require re-operation. The intraoperative O-Arm (Medtronic, USA) is a three-dimensional (3D) computed tomographic imaging system. Materials and Methods: This retrospective single-center study evaluated the utility of O-Arm scanning during corrective surgeries for ZMC and zygomatic arch (ZA) fractures from 2018 to 2020. Three females and 16 males (mean age, 31.52 years; range, 22-48 years) were included. Fracture instability (n=6) and facial deformity (n=15) were the most frequent indications for intraoperative 3D O-Arm scan. Results: The images demonstrated that all fracture lines were properly reduced and fixed. Another scan performed at the end of the fixation or reduction stage, however, revealed suboptimal results in five of the 19 cases, and further reduction and fixation of the fracture lines were required. Conclusion: Implementation of an intraoperative O-Arm system in ZMC and ZA fracture surgeries assists in obtaining predictable and accurate results and obviates the need for revision surgeries. The device should be considered for precise operations such as ZMC fracture repairs.

  • In this paper, a practical implementation to reduce leakage flux of a high-frequency inverter based non-contact type power transformer composed of EE-shape ferrite cores is presented for key technology of the next generation medical use X-ray CT scanner system. Design consideration for the unique structure of the non-contact power transformer with 900mm in diameter is also introduced. The complete non-contact transformer is actually arranged by several blocks of the magnetic circuit assembled by using 10 small EE shape cores with 120mm in length. It is experimentally and analytically discussed from a reduced leakage flux viewpoint related to its inductively coupling coefficient. A practical method to lower the leakage flux is described based on effective Copper-Sheet- Treatment placed on EE shape ferrite cores of magnetic circuit.

  • As business looks towards the $21^{\st}$ century, a long-term strategy that focuses on global sourcing will be the vital factor in whether companies win or lose. At the same time, with electronic components, it is important to ensure stable quality and reliability, together with other important parameters. In order to achieve this, creating an effective mechanism of failure analysis and database management for electronic components is essential. The authors introduce the actual mechanism employed by NEC and explain the ideas and insight they have obtained from their experience.

  • 최근 병원의 전산화가 급속도로 이루어지고 있는 가운데 환자의 의료영상(X-ray, CT, MRI등)을 이용하는 의료영상 회의 시스템이 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 Web환경에서 분산객체 처리환경인 CORBA(Common Object Request Broker Architecture)를 잉요한 의료영상 회의시스템의 전체 구성도를 제시하고, 제시된 시스템의 핵심 요소인 영상 처리 객체 관리자를 설계하고 구현하였다. 영상 처리 객체는 그 특성상 CPU-bound이며 처리 속도 향상을 위하여 C++로 구현하였고, 영상처리 객체의 추가 및 확장이 용이하도록 구성하였다. 또한 여러 객체가 서버에 활성화되어 있을 경우 서버의 리소스 낭비가 심하며 이의 해결을 위해 객체들을 비 활성화 상태로 관리하다가 클라이언트의 요청에 위해 활성화 시켜주는 영상처리 객체 관리자가 필요하다.

  • 문자 정보 및 X-Ray, MRI, CT등과 같은 의료영상 정보를 취급하는 의료정보 시스템에서의 유사객체 검색을 지원하는 협력 의료정보 시스템의 설계에 대하여 논한다. 이를 위해 객체간 의미적 관련성을 기반으로 한 유사도 자동 추출 방식 및 지식베이스 구성 방식을 제안하고 이를 활용한 유사객체 검색에 대하여 논한다. 특히 의료영상을 객체 값으로 갖는 경우 객체간 유사도는 영상처리의 특징추출 방식에 의해 추출된 영상내에 출현하는 공간 객체의 위치, 면적, 둘레, 공간 객체간의 위상 관계 등의 공간 속성을 이용한다. 여기서 공간적 위치에 근거한 유사도는 공간 위치를 대표하는 Hilbert값의 분포와 빈도를 토대로 계산한다.

  • Objectives: This study evaluated by using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) the filling ability and sealer apical extrusion promoted by a new Sealer Injection System (SIS; Angelus) with side openings needle, in comparison with the conventional injection system, associated with a new ready-to-use calcium silicate-based sealer (Bio-C Sealer). Materials and Methods: Acrylic resin models containing a main curved artificial canal and 3 simulated lateral canals in apical, middle and cervical thirds were used. The main root canals were prepared using a rotary system up to size 35.05. The canals were filled with Bio-C sealer by using a single cone technique and the conventional delivery system or SIS. Samples were scanned in micro-CT. The percentage of voids throughout the entire extension of the main root canal and in each third of the lateral canals, besides the apical extrusion of the sealer was calculated. Data were submitted to t-test (p < 0.05). Results: There was no difference between both systems in the main root canals filling. Although the volume percentage of voids was similar in the apical and middle thirds of lateral canals, SIS had the greatest filling ability of the cervical third lateral canal. Moreover, the conventional system showed the highest apical extrusion of the sealer. Conclusions: The conventional and SIS obturation systems had an appropriate filling ability of the main root canal. SIS had the best filling of the cervical third of the lateral canals, besides lower sealer apical extrusion, suggesting its clinical indication.

  • 온열치료의 품질관리를 위해서 조직등가 팬텀이 필요하다. 그러나 이를 위한 팬텀이 없어 한천으로 만든 팬텀이 여러 연구에서 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한천 팬텀의 조직등가 특성을 조직등가 물질 볼루스와 비교하여 확인하였다. 한천 팬텀과 볼루스의 CT 영상을 획득하고 영상분석과 전산화 치료계획 시스템을 이용한 선량계산으로 조직등가 특성을 확인하였다. 평균 픽셀값은 볼루스에서 96.960 ± 10.999, 3% 한천 팬텀에서는 108.559 ± 8.233, 4% 한천 팬텀에서 111.844 ± 8.651의 값을 보였다. 6 MV 엑스선을 SSD 기법으로 1.5 cm 깊이에 100 cGy를 처방하여 10×10cm2로 조사하여 빔의 중심축에서 깊이에 따른 흡수선량을 계산하였다. 볼루스, 3% 한천 팬텀, 4% 한천 팬텀의 심부선량분포의 급내상관계수는 0.979(p<.001, 95%CI .957-.991)로 나타났다. 흡수선량을 계산한 지점의 밀도(g/cm3)는 볼루스에서 0.990 ± 0.020, 3% 한천 팬텀에서 1.018 ± 0.020, 4% 한천 팬텀에서 1.035 ± 0.024로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 CT영상의 분석과 전산화 방사선치료계획 시스템을 이용해 한천 팬텀의 내부 밀도 분포와 균일도가 조직등가 물질로서 적절함을 확인하였다.

  • 고해상도 엑스선 영상장치인 마이크로 CT를 이용, 흰쥐 간의 전체적인 문맥상과 각 간엽(lobe)의 미세혈관구조를 관찰하여 4개 분절 간엽의 구조를 영상화 하였고, 단축면상의 데이터를 3D영상으로 재구성한 미세혈관 구조의 입체적인 영상을 획득할 수 있는 마이크로 CT에 대한 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 5마리의 간 중에서 손상이 가장 적은 1개의 간을 4 개의 분절 간엽으로 각각 절단하여 문맥의 미세구조를 이차원으로 구성하였으며, MIP기법을 이용하여 간 문맥 전체 미세혈관의 3D영상을 얻었으며, 각 간엽의 미세혈관은 6분지까지 관찰할 수 있었다. 6 분지까지의 크기를 측정한 결과 평균치는 1 branch : $0.51mm{\pm}0.08$, 2 branch : $0.32mm{\pm}0.12$, 3 branch : $0.23mm{\pm}0.11$, 4 branch : $0.19 mm{\pm}0.08$, 5 branch : $0.13mm{\pm}0.06$, 6 branch : $70.5{\mu}m{\pm}14.1$ 로 측정되었다. 본 연구의 실험 결과에서 획득한 3차원의 입체 영상과 미세혈관 구조의 발견은 향후 고해상력의 영상을 얻을 수 있는 마이크로 CT가 많이 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and usefulness of newly developed personal computer-based software to eliminate the linear artifacts by the metal restorations. Materials and Methods: A 3D CT image was conventionally reconstructed using ADVANTAGE WINDOWS 2.0 3D Analysis software (GE Medical System, Milwaukee, USA) and eliminated the linear artifacts manually. Next, a 3D CT image was reconstructed using V-works 4.0/sup TM/(Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea) and the linear artifacts eliminated manually in the axial images by a skillful operator using a personal computer. A 3D CT image was reconstructed using V-works 4.0/sup TM/(Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea) and the linear artifacts were removed using a simplified algorithm program to eliminate the linear artifacts automatically in the axial images using a personal computer, abbreviating the manual editing procedure. Finally, the automatically edited reconstructed 3D images were compared to the manually edited images. Results and Conclusion: We effectively eliminated the linear artifacts automatically by this algorithm, not by the manual editing procedures, in some degree. But programs based on more complicated and accurate algorithms may lead to a nearly flawless elimination of these linear artifacts automatically.
