  • Three dimensional density distributions of impinging and eccentric flames have been investigated by digital speckle tomography. The flames have been ignited by a mixture of butane and air from a circular nozzle and impinged against a plate located at the upper side of the burner exit. For comparison with experimental data, computer synthesized phantoms of impinging and eccentric flames have been reconstructed by a developed three-dimensional multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART). The advanced reconstruction in the stagnation flow region involved the sharp change of the flow direction and pressure gradient has been developed using a cross-correlation method and new scanning technique for the speckle displacement.

  • Magnetic Inductance Tomography System은 비투자율이 공기보다 큰 대상물체를 외부에서 자기장을 인가하여 자기장의 변화를 자기센서로 측정하여 대상물체의 형상, 위치, 비투자율을 측정하고 판단하는 시스템이다. Magnetic Inductance Tomog-raphy System은 비투자율이 공기보다 큰 대상물체를 외부에서 자기장을 인가하여 자기장의 변화를 자기센서로 측정하여 대상물체의 형상, 위치, 비투자율을 측정하고 판단하는 시스템이다. Magnetic Inductance To-mography System은 대상물체의 위치, 모양, 크기에 따라 자기장의 변화가 달라게 된다. 대상물체를 실시간으로 측정하기 위하여 Magnetic Inductance To-mography System을 자기장 발생부와 신호변환부, 모니터링 부로 구분하여 구축하였다. 또한 대상물체를 위치를 이동시키거나 크기를 변경하여 대상물체의 신호를 해석, 측정하였다.

  • A computer code for Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is developed to sense the cross sectional phase distribution of two-phase flow in the rectangular pipe in which the tomography sensor furnished by the insulated wall, electrodes, and electric field screen. The computer code had two steps for the image reconstruction. In the forward projection step, the sensitivity matrix was constructed based on the electric field calculated by the finite difference method. In the backward projection step, the sensitivity matrix and the measured capacitances were used to reconstruct the cross sectional image. Several algorithms including LBP, TR, ITR, and PLI were employed to find the proper one for the two-phase flow analysis. Since the dielectric constant of the water in two-phase flow is sensitive to the thermal parameter such as, temperature and pressure, the developed code was evaluated to find their accuracy, speed of calculation, and sensitivity to the variation of the dielectric constant. It was found that the iterative methods are superior to the direct methods for the image reconstruction, and the PLI method was the best in the variation of the dielectric constants.

  • Statement of problem. Relatively low success rate of root analogue implant system was supposed to be due to the time duration between extraction and implant installation. The use of three-dimensional computer tomography and the reconstruction of objects using rapid prototyping methods would be helpful to shorten this time. Purpose. This aim of this study was to evaluate the application possibility of the 3-dimensional computer tomography and the rapid prototyping to root analogue implants. Material and methods. Ten single rooted teeth were prepared. Width and height of the teeth were measured by the marking points. This was followed by CT scanning, data conversion and rapid prototyping model fabrication. 2 methods were used; fused deposition modelling and stereolithography. Same width and height of this models were measured and compared to the original tooth. Results. Fused deposition modelling showed an enlarged width and reduced height. The stereolithography showed more exact data compared with the fused deposition modelling. Smaller standard deviation were recorded in the stereolithographic method. Overall width error from tooth to rapid prototyping was 7.15% in fused deposition modelling and 0.2% in stereolithography. Overall height showed the tendency of reducing dimensions. Conclusion. From the results of this study, stereolithography seems to be very predictable method of fabricating root analogue implant.

  • Corrosion of rebars in reinforced concrete structures is a major factor that shortens the life of the structure. As corrosion progresses, the adhesion between the concrete tissues and the rebar decreases and the cracks in the concrete due to the expansion of the oxide intensify. Although it is necessary to measure corrosion behavior of rebars inside the concrete to measure degradation of structures due to rebar corrosion, no studies have been conducted to measure corrosion of rebars in In-situ state. In this study, corrosion of rebars in reinforced concrete specimens was attempted to be quantified using micro-computer tomography. Since corrosion of concrete takes several months per 10mm of cover, accelerated corrosion techniques were applied. Accelerated corrosion on the specimen was conducted by applying a 10 V magnetic field to the buried rebar and external electrodes with the specimen submerged in a 10% calcium chloride solution. The experiment found that within two weeks, more than 40% of rebar reduction occurred, and the cracks in the radial cracks occurred through the concrete structure, leading to the transfer of the oxide produced through the cracks to the surface of the specimen.

  • Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death in the world. As a non-invasive imaging modality, computed tomography angiography (CTA) is now usually used in clinical practice for CAD diagnosis. Precise quantification of coronary stenosis is of great interest for diagnosis and treatment planning. In this paper, a novel cluster method based on a Modified Student's t-Mixture Model is applied to separate the region of vessel lumen from other tissues. Then, the area of the vessel lumen in each slice is computed and the estimated value of it is fitted with a curve. Finally, the location and the level of the most stenoses are captured by comparing the calculated and fitted areas of the vessel. The proposed method has been applied to 17 clinical CTA datasets and the results have been compared with reference standard degrees of stenosis defined by an expert. The results of the experiment indicate that the proposed method can accurately quantify the stenosis of the coronary artery in CTA.

  • In this study, we are using a computer tomography image of the abdomen, as an experimental linear research for the image of the fatty liver patients texture features analysis and computer-aided diagnosis system of implementation using the ROC curve analysis, from the computer tomography image. We tried to provide an objective and reliable diagnostic information of fatty liver to the doctor. Experiments are usually a fatty liver, via the wavelet transform of the abdominal computed tomography images are configured with the experimental image section, shows the results of statistical analysis on six parameters indicating a feature value of the texture. As a result, the entropy, average luminance, strain rate is shown a relatively high recognition rate of 90% or more, the control also, flatness, uniformity showed relatively low recognition rate of about 70%. ROC curve analysis of six parameters are all shown to 0.900 (p = 0.0001) or more, showed meaningful results in the recognition of the disease. Also, to determine the cut-off value for the prediction of disease six parameters. These results are applicable from future abdominal computed tomography images as a preliminary diagnostic article of diseases automatic detection and eventual diagnosis.
