Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked, recessively inherited, rare, progressive, disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism affecting multiple organs resulting in organ dysfunction. It is rare to find only one FD affected subject with a de novo mutation. Here we report a case of a 41-year-old Asian male diagnosed with de novo FD. Comprehensive ophthalmological evaluation was performed using slit lamp, color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography. On slit lamp examination, cornea verticillata and slightly tortuous, and aneurysmal dilatation of inferior bulbar conjunctival vessels were observed. Other imaging modalities showed unremarkable findings. Cornea verticillata and inferior bulbar conjunctival vascular abnormalities may be detected earlier than other ocular abnormalities in de novo FDs like hereditary FDs.

The Multipupose InfraRed Imaging System (MIRIS) Paα Galactic Plane Survey (MIPAPS) covers the whole Galactic plane with the latitude range of -3° < b < +3°. Next to the first result in l = 96°-116° (Cepheus), we present the results in l = 276°-296° (Carina). This region with the direction toward the inner Galaxy, has much higher extinction but much more Paα-emitting sources than Cepheus. We list up the detected Paα sources, and compare them with the WISE H II region catalog (there are 308 H II regions and candidates in this region) and VPHAS+ Hα image. By detecting the Paα and Hα recombination lines, 71 H II region candidates are newly confirmed as definite H II regions, out of which 53 H II regions are detected at Paα. For the Paα-detected sources, we measure the Paα and Hα fluxes and estimate the E(B-V) color excesses for the extended sources.

Intraclusterlight (ICL) is diffuse light from stars that are bound to the clusterpotential, not to individual member galaxies. Understanding the formationmechanism of ICL provides critical information on the assembly and evolution ofthe galaxy cluster. Although there exist several competing models, the dominantproduction mechanism is still in dispute. The ICL measurement between z=1 and 2strongly constrains the formation scenario of the ICL because the epoch is whenthe first mature clusters begin to appear. However, the number of high-redshiftICL studies is small mainly because of observational challenges. In this study, based on deep HST WFC3/IR data, we measured ICL of 10 galaxy clusters atredshift beyond unity, which nearly doubles the sample size in this redshiftregime. With careful handling of systematics including object masking, skyestimation, flatfielding, dwarf galaxy contamination, etc., we quantified thetotal amount of ICL, measured the color profile, and examined the transitionbetween BCG and ICL.

위성 영상의 정확한 구름 판별 여부는 이를 활용하여 생산되는 다른 산출물들의 정확도에 민감한 영향을 미치므로 매우 중요하다. 특히 해양에서 구름에 오염된 화소는 해수면 온도(Sea Surface Temperature: SST), 해색(ocean color), 클로로필-a(chlorophyll-a) 등 다양한 해양 기반산출물의 주된 오차 요인으로써 해양에서의 정확한 구름 탐지는 필수적이며 이는 해양 순환을 이해하는데 기여한다. 그러나 현재 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) 등 대부분 실시간 운영을 위한 알고리즘에서 사용되고 있는 고정 경계값 검사 방법은 태양-해양-센서의 상대적인 위치에 따라 변화하는 해양의 분광 특성을 고려하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 NOAA의 Himawari-8 구름 산출물을 이용하여 Himawari-8/AHI 반사도 채널에서의 태양 천정각(Solar Zenith Angle: SZA), 위성 천정각(Viewing Zenith Angle: VZA) 변화에 따른 청천 해양 표면 화소의 반사도를 수집하여 분광 라이브러리를 구축하였고 이를 이용하여 동적 경계값 방법인 Dynamic Time Warping (DTW)기법에 적용하여 구름탐지를 수행하였다. 본 연구의 구름탐지 결과를 Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA)의 구름 산출물과 정성적 비교한 결과 JMA 구름 산출물은 청천 화소를 불확실(unknown)으로 오탐지 및 과대탐지 하는 경향을 보였다. 이에 반해 본 연구에서는 태양 천정각이 고각인 지역에서 과대 탐지 및 오탐지되는 문제점을 개선하였다.

Ultrasonography is non-invasive and can give useful clues in the diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy, However, differential diagnosis is difficult in some situations even combined with color Doppler imaging. The present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical value of real time elastography in patients with unexplained cervical lymphadenopathy using a quantitative method. From May 2011 to February 2012, 39 enlarged lymph nodes from 39 patients with unexplained cervical lymphadenopathy were assessed. All the patients were examined by both B-mode ultrasound, color Doppler flow imaging and elastography. The method of analyzing elasto-graphic data was the calculation of the 10 parametres ("mean", "sd", "area%", "com", "kur", "ske", "con", "ent", "idm", "asm") offered by the software integrated into the Hitachi system. The findings were then correlated with the definitive tissue diagnosis obtained by lymph node dissection or biopsy. Final histology revealed 10 cases of metastatic lymph nodes, 11 cases of lymphoma, 12 cases of tuberculosis and 6 cases of nonspecific lymphadenitis. The significant distinguishing features for conventional ultrasound were the maximum short diameter (p=0.007) and absent of echogenic hilum (p=0.0293). The diagnostic accuracy was 43.6% (17/39 cases) and there were 17 patients with equivocal diagnosis. For elastography, "mean" (p=0.003), "area%" (p=0.009), "kurt" (p=0.0291), "skew" (p=0.014) and "cont" (p=0.012) demonstrated significant differences between groups. With 9 of the 17 patients with previous equivocal diagnoses (52.9%) definite and correct diagnoses could be obtained. The diagnostic accuracy for conventional ultrasound combined elastography was 69.2% (27/39 cases). There were differences in the diagnostic sensitivity of the two methods (p=0.0224). Ultrasound combined with elastography demonstrated higher rates of conclusive and accurate diagnoses in patients with unexplained cervical lymphadenopathy than conventional ultrasound. The quantitative program showed good correlation with the pathology of different lymph node diseases.

A ten months old, female Yorkshire terrier weighing 2.88 kg referred to veterinary leaching hospital of college of veterinary medicine, Konkuk University because of syncope, cough and dyspnea. First hematological and serum chemical test revealed thrombocytopenia, mild anemia, and increase of concentration of ALP (195 U/L). On 57 days later, second hematological and serum chemical test revealed polycythemia, increase of concentration of ALP (211 UR.), and Tchol (387 mg/dl). Right atrium enlargement, main pulmonary artery bulge and cardiomegaly (VHS = 11.5) were observed in radiographic findings. Ultrasohographic images showed both right and left ventricular dilation and turbulent flow between the descending aorta and the main pulmonary artery in color Doppler imaging. ECG showed left ventricular enlargement, SA block, and electrical alternant. Thoracotomy was performed through left fourth intercostal incision under isoflurane anesthesia. Patent ductus arteriosus was double ligated with 1-0 silk. Cough and dyspnea disappeared on 5 days after operation. Turbulent flow was not found in color doppler imaging of ultrasonography on 10 days after operation. Ten months later after the operation, syncope could not exist any more.

3차원 영상(3D image)이란 영상 매체를 통해서 현실세계와 동일하게 인식하는 방법으로 인간의 시각 특성을 이용하여 실제로 자연에서 보고 느끼는 현실감, 깊이감을 그대로 표현해 내는 기술을 이야기 한다. 이러한 3D 영상을 디스플레이와 프린트매체 모두에 사용되기 위해 적용되는 영상처리 기법이 anaglyph를 이용한 3D 영상 처리이다. Anaglyph는 주로 적-청 안경을 사용해서 한쪽에는 적색영상을 인지하고, 한쪽에는 청색영상을 인지하도록 하며, 이 때 적색과 청색 영상의 깊이감을 조절하여 영상이 3D로 인식 되도록 하는 기술이다. Anaglyph기법은 간단하게 영상을 생성할 수 있고, 또한 필터의 구현이 쉬운 반면, 좌 우 영상의 밝기차이로 발생하는 망막 경합 현상을 야기하여 사람이 3D를 인지하는 동안 눈에 피로감을 가중 시킨다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 두 영상의 밝기차이를 줄여 망막 경합을 최소화 하는 영상처리 방법을 제안한다. 또한 밝기 차를 줄이면서 나타나는 색 왜곡 현상과 채도 저하 현상을 보상하여 결과 영상의 화질을 향상시킨다. 밝기를 보상하는 방법은 원본 영상의 밝기와 좌 우 영상의 밝기의 평균을 취하여 밝기 비율을 유지하면서 두 영상의 밝기 차이가 줄여진다. 그 결과, 밝기 차에서 나타나는 망막경합을 최소화 하면서, 또한 필터의 사용으로 인해 나타나는 밝기 저하 현상을 보상한다. 밝기의 향상으로 인해나타나는 채도 저하 현상은 디스플레이의 색역의 가장자리(boundary)의 변화에 비례하여 채도를 향상시킴으로써 밝기에 비례한 채도 향상이 이루어져 보다 원본에 가까운 색을 관찰할 수 있다. 또한 밝기 보상과정에서 좌 우 영상의 색이 섞이는 현상에 대해 필요한 요소 외에는 절단(Clipping) 방법을 적용하여, 각 영상에 필요한 요소만을 취함으로써 더욱 원본에 가까운 영상을 재현한다.

PACS has been run at the Kyung Hee University Medical Center(KHMC) since 2001, and the installation and operation of PACS have contributed to automation and quantification of KHMC's medical environment During these five years our greatest concern is how to make our own guiding principle of diagnostic monitor QA which is adapted to international standards. In accordance with the terms of 'KHMC QA Guideline', 'AAPM TG18', 'SMPTE RP133', 'DICOM Part14', 'DIN V 6868-57', 'JESRA X-0093', 'JIS Z4752-2-5' and 'KCARE', concern about quality assurance of medical images are on the increase. With the investigation of acceptance testing and quality control of international standards for medical display devices, and data collection and analysis for recommended guideline, it is reported that acceptance testing(quality control), including geometrical distortion, display reflection, luminance response, luminance uniformity, display resolution, display noise, veiling glare and color chromaticity being adequate and effective to domestic hospital environments for medical display devices and assessment methods according to each performance. Accordingly, KHMC classified the checkpoint items by period, at the time of monitor setting, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and annually. Periodic classification of checkpoint items for monitor QA makes a good guideline for image QA/QC and useful guideline for persistent good quality of monitor.
