Comparing with film-screen system, flat-panel detector has extensive dynamic range. Focusing flat-panel detector, whole body human phantom PBU-50 (Kyoto, kagaku, Japan) was used to perform comparative study of the estimate of image quality and exposure dose. the exposure condition was 81kV and 20mAs, which is used for Abdomen supine exam in clinical area. As a result of the kV change of the interpreted medical image which has over 30dB of PSNR value, the value of DAP shows the difference of 19.6 times. Moreover, the result of comparing kV change with effective dose of ICRP 103 shows that stochastic effect was increased by over exposure. Therefore, it is significantly necessary that digital radiation technical chart will be used to obtain high quality image and make the standard of dose by educating radio-technologist continually.

본 논문에서는 실사 영상 기반으로 3D 영상을 생성하기 위하여 효율적으로 다시점 영상을 획득하는 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 시스템은 대부분 다수의 카메라를 이용하여 다시점 영상을 획득하는 구조이다. 이 경우 각 카메라 간의 정합(calibration)을 수행해야 할 뿐만 아니라 스테레오 매칭을 통해 깊이 정보를 추출하는 과정이 필요하다. 제안하는 시스템에서는 카메라는 고정시킨 상태에서 촬영하고자 하는 객체를 턴테이블 위에 놓고 회전시키면서 촬영한다. 카메라는 Microsoft에서 출시한 컬러 정보와 깊이 정보를 동시에 얻을 수 있는 키넥트(Kinect) v2를 사용한다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 시스템이 기존 시스템보다 다시점 영상을 효율적으로 생성하는 것을 확인하였다.

X-ray microscopy with synchrotron radiation(SR) might be a useful tool for novel x-ray imaging in the clinical and laboratory settings. Microscopically, it enables us to observe detailed structure of animal organs samples with a great magnification power and an excellent resolution. The phase contrast mechanisms in image by X-ray are described. The phase-contrast X-ray imaging with SR from in-vivo and in-vitro mouse tail, rat nerve and rat lung were obtained with an 8 KeV monochromatic beam. The visual image was magnified using 10x microscope objective lens and captured using an digital CCD camera. The results showed more structural details and high resolution images with SR imaging system than conventional X-ray radiography system. The SR imaging system may have a potential for imaging in biological researches, material applications and clinical radiography.

Spatial resolution is determined by the performance of x-ray optics used in the x-ray imaging system. A zone plate was designed for obtaining a high spatial resolution image at x-ray energy of 8.5keV. A spatial resolution of 80 nm was estimated by the ray tracing when an x-ray tube of tungsten targe was used instead of synchrotron radiation. The designed zone plate of outermost zone width of 40nm was successfully fabricated by the electron-beam lithography.

We present a new computer vision technique which can detect unexpected or static vertical objects in road driving environment. We first obtain temporal and spatial difference images in each frame of a stereo video sequence. Using the difference images, we then generate VO and HO maps by improving the conventional V and H disparity maps. From the VO and HO maps, candidate areas of vertical obstacles on the road are detected. Finally, the candidate areas are merged and refined to detect vertical obstacles.

최근 대두되고 있는 딥 러닝은 학습을 통해 사물이나 데이터를 군집화하거나 분류하는 데 사용하는 기술이다. 본 논문은 딥 러닝에 활용하기 위해 개발된 오픈소스 소프트웨어인 텐서플로 Inception V3을 사용해 연구를 진행했다. 딥 러닝을 활용한 씨앗 발아 확인 시스템은 기존의 영상 처리를 활용한 시스템에서 고안했으며, 씨앗 발아 여부의 정확성이 떨어지는 단점을 개선하고, 모든 종자들의 발아 여부를 확인할 수 있도록 구현해 사용자가 효과적으로 연구를 수행할 수 있도록 하는 목적에 있다.

Purpose: To compare the measurements of the mandible and the detectability of the mandibular canal on reformatted images using a newly developed 3-dimensional implant simulation program with traditionally used CT multiplanar reconstruction program and true measurements. Materials and Methods: Ten dry dog mandibles were used in this study. Occlusal templates for CT examination were fabricated and marked with gutta perch a at ten sites. Axial CT scans were taken and reconstructed using DentaScan (D group) and Vimplant program (V group), and each mandible was sectioned at the previously marked sites (R group). Maximum vertical height (H) and maximum width (W) of the mandible, the distances from buccal border of the mandibular canal to the most buccal aspect of the mandible (X), and the distance from the superior border of the mandibular canal to the alveolar crest (Y) were measured, and the mandibular measurements in each group were compared. Detectability of mandibular canal was evaluated using a 3-point scale in both V and D groups by three oral radiologists and compared. Results: H in the V group was slightly greater than that in the D group, and Wand X in the V group was slightly less than those in the D group. H in the V group was less than that in the R group, and Wand X in the V group was larger than those in the R group. The detectability of the mandibular canal did not show statistically significant differences between V and D groups. Conclusion: The results of the experiment show that the newly developed, inexpensive Vimplant/TM/ simulation program can be used as an alternative to the traditionally used, and more expensive CT multiplanar reconstruction program.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of radioactivity quantitation in Tc-99m SPECT by using combined scatter and attenuation correction. Materials and Methods: A cylindrical phantom which simulates tumors (T) and normal tissue (B) was filled with varying activity ratios of Tc-99m. We acquired emission scans of the phantom using a three-headed SPECT system (Trionix, Inc.) with two energy windows (photopeak window: $126{\sim}154keV$ and scatter window: $101{\sim}123keV$). We performed the scatter correction with dual-energy window subtraction method (k=0.4) and Chang attenuation correction. Three sets of SPECT images were reconstructed using combined scatter and attenuation correction (SC+AC), attenuation correction (AC) and without any correction (NONE). We compared T/B ratio, image contrast [(T-B)/(T+B)] and absolute radioactivity with true values. Results: SC+AC images had the highest mean values of T/B ratios. Image contrast was 0.92 in SC+AC, which was close to the true value of 1, and higher than AC (0.77) or NONE (0.80). Errors of true activity by SPECT images ranged from 1 to 11% for SC+AC, $22{\sim}47%$ for AC, and $2{\sim}16%$ for NONE in a phantom which was located 2.4cm from the phantom surface. In a phantom located 10.0cm from the surface, SC+AC underestimated by 24%, NONE 40%. However, AC overestimated by 10%. Conclusion: We conclude that accurate SPECT activity quantitation of Tc-99m distribution can be achieved by dual window scatter correction combind with attenuation correction.

We had experienced the several system failures which were concerned about zero sequence voltages at the tertiary side of 345[kV] transformers. In this paper, we had considered the zero sequence voltage and its reduction methods at the 345[kV] auto-transformer tertiary. For analysis, we used EMTP(Electro-Magnetic Transients Program). The calculation results by EMTP were compared with the measured data of the field tests. From the calculation and the field tests, we had verified that it is due to pre-saturation characteristics of the potential transformer. So, we had improved its saturation characteristics and applied it at real site. After improvements, we could reduce the zero sequence voltage below the setting level of the relay.
