  • Prior to destructive testing, diagnostic tests were performed in eight high voltage motors. Diagnostic tests included polarization index, ac current, dissipation factor($tan{\delta}$) and partial discharge magnitude. The rewind of motor stator insulation at rated voltage is assessed by the results of these tests. After completing the diagnostic tests, the stator windings of motors were subjected to gradually increasing ac voltage, until the insulation punctured. No. 1 motor failed near rated voltage of 12.96 kV. The breakdown voltage of No. 4 motor was 6.99 kV which is lower that expected for good quality coils in 6.6 kV class motors. The failure was located in a line-end coil at the exit from the core slot. These two motors began operation in 1994. While testing No. 7 motor, flashover occurred between the stator winding and the stator frame at 15 kV. The relationship between the diagnostic test and the drop in insulation breakdown voltage was analyzed.

  • To examine different types of influenza diagnostic test kits automatically, automated rapid influenza diagnostic test method based on image recognition is proposed in this paper. First, the proposed methods classify a variety of the rapid influenza diagnostic test kit based on support vector machine that analyzes the kits' feature point. Then, to improve the accuracy of test, the proposed methods match the histogram of both the target image of influenza kit and the input image of influenza kit for minimizing the effect of environment factors, such as lighting and exposure variations. And, to minimize the effect from composition of the hand-helds devices, the proposed methods extract the feature point and match point-by-point between target image of influenza kit and input image of influenza kit. Experimental results of 124 experimental group show that the proposed methods significantly have effectiveness, which shows 90% accuracy in moderate antigen, for the preliminary examination of influenza, and provides the opportunity for taking action against influenza.

  • Beam quality is changed about magnetic field of bending magnet. Evaluation of beam quality using PDD(Percentage Depth Dose) at 10cm depth at recommendation of AAPM(America Academy of Pain Medicine). However this evaluation shows fragmentary element. Therefore this study is applied to three value, 10cm divided by 5cm depth PDD, 20cm divided by 10cm depth PDD, 30cm divided by 20cm depth PDD, at change the magnetic field. PDD is measured at magnetic field changed ${\pm}1%$, ${\pm}2%$ at 6MV(Mega Voltage), 10MV photon. The plan technique is 3 portal plan using Core-Plan at human pelvic phantom. Conventional and presented methods are compared at maximum and minimum dose. The presented method increased discernment of relieve the unequal distribution and energy area than conventional method. Henceforth, application of presented method will be considered. Development of energy measurement method and detector miniaturization will be needed about continuous study.

  • Like other vehicles, the suspension elements of railway rolling stock have influence on running stability and ride quality. Thus, faults detection for suspension elements is important to prevent an accidents of train and to ensure safety against derailment. This study was started to grasp the feasibility of diagnostic method for the suspension elements of bogie without disassembling. Through several tests by running test rig, we found that fault detection for suspension elements was possible. Here, we describe some results.

  • Recent progress on CT such as multi-detector row CT, oral contrast agents and multiplanar reconstruction have markedly improved the image quality as well as diagnostic performance of gastric cancer. Multiplanar reformatted images at predetermined orientations can be easily performed and embedded into routine CT protocol without increasing medical expense or labor. Currently, many institutions have adopted routine multiplanar reformatted protocols and therefore knowledge on them can improve the diagnostic accuracy of gastric cancer.

  • Real-time techniques are motivated by a number of factors including the potential for direct acquisition of diagnostic quality images, facilitation of patient-specific imaging parameters, and reduced examination time. Real-time MRI includes not only a rapid pulse sequence but also high speed image reconstruction and easy interactivity. The frame rate of the real-time technique used should be matched to the physiological timeframes under study. Principal applications thusfar have been in localization, fluoroscopic triggering, guidance of other processes, and potentially in the generation of diagnostic images of moving structures.

  • Upper gastrointestinal series is a diagnostic test that X-ray passes through the stomach after administering contrast media such as barium or gastrografin. Upper gastrointestinal series with an advantage of no side effect except temporary constipation or abdominal pain has been widely used to diagnose diseases of the gastrointestinal system. However, image degradation and diagnostic accuracy frequently occurred when improper movement and breath control were carried out by lack of understanding the overall inspection process for the upper gastrointestinal series. The movie of the upper gastrointestinal series was made for improving inspection accuracy and image quality. The examinees encouraged to see the movie for waiting time before doing upper gastrointestinal series. In this study, image quality and diagnostic accuracy was examined for the effect of the movie about upper gastrointestinal series. 60 patients composed of each 10 people from 30s to 80s were selected randomly among both 2,940 examinees in 2014 and 3,076 examinees in 2015. Image quality was evaluated by the full width at half maximum of profile for each image using the Image J. The measurement of the full width at half maximum showed 0.208 mm and 0.133 mm for after and before seeing the movie. Thus it was verified that the movie education could improve the image quality and diagnostic accuracy for upper gastrointestinal series.

  • Chest radiograms obtained by using Fuji Computed Radiography(FCR) system were compared to conventional film/screen radiograms. The FCR images showed better image quality in diagnostic informations than the conventional chest images. In FCR, the radiation exposure to patient for chest examination could be reduced up to one tenths of conventional chest examination. The main advantages or FCR were considered to depend on the contrast processing and frequency processing properties. The use of FCR in clinical work may improve both diagnostic quality and radiation exposure.
