The National Health Insurance Act, the Industrial Health Act and the School Health Act require chest radiography at least once a year. In chest radiographic examination, most group examinations use indirect X-ray primarily aiming at diagnosing diseases and enhancing people's health. This study purposed to minimize radiation exposure dose by comparing it between direct and indirect chest X-ray studies. According to the result of comparing and analyzing radiation exposure dose, the average incident dose and penetrating dose were 0.929μGy and 0.179μGy respectively in direct chest X-ray and 6.807μGy and 1.337μGy in indirect chest X-ray In order to minimize radiation exposure dose at direct and indirect chest X-ray, indirect X-ray should be excluded from group examination if possible. Moreover, it is necessary to control the quality of equipment (Q/A & Q/C) systematically and to avoid using unqualified equipment in order to reduce radiation exposure dose.

Young pulsar wind nebulae, powered by energetic central pulsars, are often observed as bright extended sources in the X-ray band. They are believed to accelerate electrons and positrons to very high energy and can possibly explain the positron excess observed by Fermi and AMS. The electron distribution in these PWNe can be best studied by X-ray satellites because emission in the X-ray band is produced by direct synchrotron radiation of the electrons and positrons. We present NuSTAR studies of PWNe and discuss the implication. Future studies to help further our understanding of particle acceleration will be briefly discussed.

Digital radiographic systems allow the implementation of a fully digital picture archiving and communication system (PACS), and provide the greater dynamic range of digital detectors with possible reduction of X-ray exposure to the patient. This article reviewed the basic physical principles of digital radiographic imaging system in dental clinics generally. Digital radiography can be divided into computed radiography (CR) and direct radiography (DR). CR systems acquire digital images using phosphor storage plates (PSP) with a separate image readout process. On the other hand, DR systems convert X-rays into electrical charges by means of a direct readout process. DR systems can be further divided into direct and indirect conversion systems depending on the type of X-ray conversion. While a direct conversion requires a photoconductor that converts X-ray photons into electrical charges directly, in an indirect conversion, lightsensitive sensors such as CCD or a flat-panel detector convert visible light, proportional to the incident X-ray energy by a scintillator, into electrical charges. Indirect conversion sensors using CCD or CMOS without lens-coupling are used in intraoral radiography. CR system using PSP is mainly used in extraoral radiographic system and a linear array CCD or CR sensors, in panoramic system. Currently, the digital radiographic system is an important subject in the dental field. Most studies reported that no significant difference in diagnostic performance was found between the digital and conventional systems. To accept advances in technology and utilize benefits provided by the systems, the continuous feedback between doctors and manufacturers is essential.

For the purpose of digital x-ray imaging, many materials such as $PbI_2$, $HgI_2$, TlBr, CdTe and CdZnTe have been under development for servaral years as direct converter layer. $Hgl_2$ film detector have recently been shown as one of the most promising semiconductor materials to be used as direct converters in x-ray digital radiography. This paper, the $HgI_2$ films are deposited on conductive-coated glass by screen printing, in which $HgI_2$ powder is embedded in a binder and solvent, and the slurry is used to coat the conductive-coated glass. We investigated electrical characteristic of the fabricated $HgI_2$ films. The x-ray response to radiological x-ray generator of 70Kvp using the current integration mode will be reported for screen printing films. These results indicate that $HgI_2$ detectors have high potential as new digital x-ray imaging devices for radiography.

환자의 진단에 유용하게 사용되고 있는 X선 장치는 X선을 인체에 조사할 때 나타나는 피폭이 큰 단점으로 지적되고 있으며 ICRP에서는 인체의 방사선 노출 허용량을 제한하고 있다. 이러한 피폭을 줄이기 위해 많은 연구 개발이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 X선의 발생 효율 증가 및 정밀한 출력 제어가 가능한 인버터 방식의 고전압 발생장치를 제작하였다. 또한 X선관에 인가되는 직류 고전압에 발생 가능한 리플을 최소화하기 위해 전파 정류방식을 적용하였으며, 이를 환자의 진단에 사용하기 위해 조사재현성 및 선질을 평가하였다.

Photoconductor for direct detection flat-panel imager present a great materials challenge, since their requirements include high X -ray absorption, ionization and charge collection, low leakage current and large area deposition. Selenium is practical material. But it needs high thickness and high voltage in selenium for high ionization rate. We report comparative studies of detector sensitivity. One is an a-Se with $70{\mu}m$ thickness on glass. The other has hybrid layer of depositting ZnS phosphor with $100{\mu}m$ on a-Se. The leakage current of hybrid is similar to it of a-Se, but photocurrent is lager than a-Se. Both of them have high spatial resolution, but hybrid has higher sensitivity than a-Se at comparable bias voltage.

X-선 탐지장치는 검색 대상물에 대한 단면 정보만을 제공하기 때문에 내용물에 대한 판정의 한계가 있다. 스테레오 X-선 탐지 장치는 검색 대상체에 대한 단면 정보와 논문에서 제안된 볼륨기반의 3차원 형상복원 알고리즘을 통해 3차원 정보를 제공하여 검색효율을 높일 수 있다. 또한, 고속 검색을 위해 자동화 검색에 대한 식별자로 형상복원 결과를 적용하고자 유사한 모형의 15개 샘플에 대한 형상 복원 및 검출율을 분석하였다. 검색대상 모델에 대한 복원 결과는 실측 모델과 비교할 때 각각 폭 (2.56%), 높이 (6.15 %)와 깊이 (7.12 %)의 오차를 보이며 높은 정확도를 나타내었다. 또한 K-Mean 클러스터링 알고리즘을 적용하여 실험한 결과 97 %의 검출 효율이 보였다. 본 논문의 결과는 자동화 시스템을 위한 새로운 검색식별자를 제시하며 추가연구를 통해 검색 시스템의 효율성 향상을 위한 연구를 진행할 것이다.

산란선을 흡수하여 보다 선명한 x선 영상을 얻기 위하여 산란방지 그리드를 사용하여 투사영상을 얻는데, 이때 그리드로 인한 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 회전된 그리드를 사용하여 그리드 왜곡의 제거가 용이하도록 x선 디지털 영상을 얻는 방법에 있어서 기존의 왜곡 성분의 중심주파수를 가장자리로 보내는 경우를 보다 심도 있게 분석하여 확장된 결과를 도출하였으며, min-max 개념에서 주어진 그리드 밀도에 대하여 최적화하는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 실질적으로 사용가능한 그리드 밀도에 대하여 적절한 그리드 각도를 제시하고 그러한 그리드를 사용하여 획득한 x선 디지털 영상에서 그리드 왜곡이 용이한 알고리듬을 제안하고 그 성능을 비교해보았는데, 원영상의 해상도를 어느 정도 유지하면서 그리드 왜곡을 줄일 수 있었다.

Despite its benefit in engine thermal efficiency, gasoline-direct-injection (GDI) engines generate substantial particulate matter (PM) emissions compared to conventional port-fuel-injection (PFI) engines. One of the reasons for this is that the spray collapse caused by the spray-to-spray interaction forms the locally rich fuel-air mixture and increases the fuel wall film. Previous studies have investigated the spray collapse phenomenon through the macroscopic observation of spray behavior using laser optical techniques, but it is somewhat difficult to understand the interaction between sprays that is initiated in the near-nozzle region within 10 mm from the nozzle exit. In this study, the spray structure, droplet size and velocity data were obtained using an X-ray imaging technique from the near-nozzle to the downstream of the spray to investigate the spray-to-spray interaction and discuss the effects of spray collapse on local droplet size and velocity distribution. It was found that as the ambient density increases, the spray collapse was promoted due to the intensified spray-to-spray interaction, thereby increasing the local droplet size and velocity from the near-nozzle region as a result of droplet collision/coalescence.
