콘크리트 교량을 저렴하고 신속하게 상태 평가를 하기 위하여 성능 지수(Performance Index)를 제안한다. 이 기법은 육안 검사에 의하여 발견된 결함의 범위와 심각도를 사용하여 콘크리트 교량의 전반적인 상태를 신속하게 등급화 하고 콘크리트 교량의 노출 조건을 고려하여 콘크리트 성능을 정량적으로 평가한다. 또한 본 연구에서는 상기한 성능 지수 기법의 타당성을 증명할 수 있는 정밀 안전 진단 시험결과를 활용하여 6개의 주요 노후화 원인을 고려하는 또 다른 성능 지수를 제안한다. 이러한 두 상태 평가 방법이 영국의 실제 교량 상태 평가 자료를 바탕으로 한 상태 평가 결과를 퍼지 집합 이론(fuzzy set theory)으로 분석한 결과와 비교하여 방법의 정당성 및 신뢰성을 논의한다.

As the Tc-99m-MIBI myocardial SPECT demonstrated wide application in the diagnosis of myocardial function, the quantitative and severity-dependent information is currently re quired. In this study, we proposed a computerized method for scoring the fixed defects in terms of extent-weighted severity and for identifying the reversibility in ischemic regions. At the first stage of this method, the transverse slices were reconstructed with 0.4 Nyquist freq. and order 5 Butterworth filter. From the oblique/sagittal slices, maximal count per pixel circumferential profiles were extracted for each sector, and then stress/redist. polar maps were normalized and plotted. For reversibility, the stress polar map was subtracted from the de-layed image and positive-valued pixels were categorized into three grades. The extent-weight-ed severity scores were calculated using the assigned grades and their number of pixels. This procedure was done automatically and the reversibility and severity scores were produced for each of the coronary territories (LAD, RCA, LCX) or any combination of these. Clinical ap-plication has shown that the changes In reversibility scores after PTCA were correlated linearly with the pre PTCA scores(r>0.8) in postinfarct cases as well as in angina, and severity scores of persistent defects in stress/rest SPECT study matched to the regional ejection fraction and visual analysis of regional wall motion of gated blood pool scan(r>0.6). We conclude that the computerized severity scoring method for the analysis of myocardial SPECT could be useful in the assessment of the myocardial ischemia and fixed defect.
