대형병원에서 환자의 치료와 진단을 목적으로 하루에 생산되는 의료영상의 발생량은 보다 정확하고 정밀한 진단이 요구되는 촬영장비와 네트워크 인프라의 발달로 나날이 증가하고 있으며, 앞으로 그런 추세는 계속 될 것이다. 따라서 기존방식의 PACS보다 성능이 개선된 시스템이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 영상압축속도를 개선하기 위해, 계산그리드 기술을 이용하여, PACS의 부분시스템으로써, 의료영상압축 저장시스템을 설계 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템의 시작품을 사용한 실험을 통해, 처리기들이 추가됨에 따라 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

Recently, artificial intelligence for diagnosis system of obstetric diseases have been actively studied. Artificial intelligence diagnostic assist systems, which support medical diagnosis benefits of efficiency and accuracy, may experience problems of poor learning accuracy and reliability when inappropriate images are the model's input data. For this reason, before learning, We proposed an algorithm to exclude unread cervical imaging. 2,000 images of read cervical imaging and 257 images of unread cervical imaging were used for this study. Experiments were conducted based on the statistical method Radiomics to extract feature values of the entire images for classification of unread images from the entire images and to obtain a range of read threshold values. The degree to which brightness, blur, and cervical regions were photographed adequately in the image was determined as classification indicators. We compared the classification performance by learning read cervical imaging classified by the algorithm proposed in this paper and unread cervical imaging for deep learning classification model. We evaluate the classification accuracy for unread Cervical imaging of the algorithm by comparing the performance. Images for the algorithm showed higher accuracy of 91.6% on average. It is expected that the algorithm proposed in this paper will improve reliability by effectively excluding unread cervical imaging and ultimately reducing errors in artificial intelligence diagnosis.

Background: Some tumor types are related to HIV, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The morbidity and mortality of NHL has remained high, even after highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was introduced. We collected cases of AIDS with NHL, and evaluated the imaging features and strategies for diagnosis. Materials and Methods: There were 27 patients with AIDS and tumors confirmed by pathology. There were 9 patients with Burkitt lymphoma, 16 with diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs), and 2 with primary central nervous system (PCNS) lymphomas. All of the patients underwent a series of imaging studies. Three radiologists analyzed the images, and any disagreement was discussed until consensus was reached. Results: The radiologic manifestations of AIDS with NHL were mainly masses and lymphadenopathy, 3 patients having one mass and 12 two or more masses. 7 patients had lymphadenopathy in one site and 3patients had lymphadenopathy in two or more sites. Coarse mucosal folds, thickening of the gastrointestinal wall, and lumen narrowing were typical manifestations of NHL within the gastrointestinal tract. There were 4 patients with masses and 5 with lymphadenopathy inthe 9 with Burkitt lymphoma, and 11 patients with masses 5 with lymphadenopathy in the 16 with DLBCLs. Conclusion: NHL is a malignancy that usually occurs in patients with AIDS. Imaging is an important method by which to evaluate lesions, masses, and lymphadenopathy. Fine needle aspiration biopsy and stereotaxis biopsy are useful methods by which to diagnose NHL.

meta-iodobenzylguanidine is one of the norepinephrine analogs and reuptakes together with norepinephrine with norepinephrine transporter. The radioiodinated ligand, ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine, is the most widely used for single photon emission computed tomography imaging to diagnose functional abnormalities and tumors of the sympathetic nervous system. In this study, we performed cellular uptake studies of ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine in positive- and negative-norepinephrine transporter cells in vitro to verify the uptake activity for norepinephrine transporter. After ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine was injected via a tail vein into normal mice, Single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography images were acquired at 1 h, 4 h, and 24 h post-injection, and quantified the distribution in each organ including the adrenal medulla as a norepinephrine transporter expressing organ. In vitro cell study showed that ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine specifically uptaked via norepinephrine transporter, and significant uptake of ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine in the adrenal medulla in vivo single photon emission computed tomography images. These results demonstrated that single photon emission computed tomography imaging with ¹²³I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine were able to quantify the biodistribution in vivo in the adrenal medulla in normal mice.

초음파진단기는 1950년대부터 사용되기 시작했고 그 동안 꾸준한 기술 발전을 통해 현재 대부분의 병원에서 필수불가결한 영상진단장비로 널리 활용되고 있다. 1970년대 초음파진단기에 어레이 프로브가 사용되기 시작한 이래로 전자적 신호처리를 통한 빔포밍 기술이 초음파진단기에 적용되었고, 꾸준히 개선되어 왔다. 빔포밍 기술은 초음파진단기의 해상도를 결정짓는 중요한 신호처리 기술이다. 이 논문에서는 이 빔포밍 기술의 원리부터 최근 동향까지 간략히 소개하고자 한다. 여기에는 어레이 프로브(array probe)를 사용하는 빔포밍의 원리, 기본적 이론, 실제 구현 등이 포함되고, 또 최근 기술 중 합성구경영상(synthetic aperture imaging: SAI), 적응형 빔포밍(adaptive beamforming), 2차원 어레이 프로브를 사용하는 2차원 빔포밍 기술 등의 주제도 소개한다. 이런 다양한 빔포밍 기술들은 다양한 다른 분야의 기술들과 여러 가지 형태로 발전적으로 융합하면서 시스템의 성능을 지속적으로 향상시켜 갈 것이다.

다중 단면 재구성(MPR)은 삼차원 의료 데이터에서 사용자가 지정한 단면의 영상을 생성하는 볼륨 가시화 기법으로 의료영상 시스템에 필수적으로 이용되고 있다. 최근 의료영상 시스템의 발전으로, 사용자는 하나의 인체 데이터에 여러 단면을 위치시키고 이들 각각을 편리하게 제어하는 기능을 요구한다. 본 연구는 최근 MPR에 필요한 다양한 사용자 요구를 분석하고, 이에 적합하도록 좌표계를 제어하는 방법을 제안한다. 구체적으로, 가능한 사용자 조작을 모두 나열하여, 각 조작에 대해 단면의 움직임에 대한 요구를 분석한다. 또한, 이를 효과적으로 구현하기 위해, 각 단면을 별도의 좌표계로 다루고, 좌표계를 구성하는 정보를 독립 구성요소와 공통 구성요소로 나누어 처리하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 그래픽스 가속기 상에서 구현되어 최근 요구사항을 포함하는 MPR 기능을 원활하게 수행할 수 있다.

In recent years, many computer systems that are used for patient diagnostic and treatment purpose s are being introduced within hospitals. Therefore, being in a position to manage the hospital entirely, efforts to integrate their own unique system into one have started. A system values humans and creates the surrounding atmosphere into one which maximizes the abilities of individuals. For this, a scientific integration management operation system is required. The type of system that is demanded due to this requirement is an ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) system. Lately, even the hospital industry is beginning to show interest in efficient administrative methods. To deliver more predominant medical services, hospitals are trying to introduce scientific administrative methods, whose superiority were proven in enterprises, to the operation system of the hospital organization. ERP values humans over systems, and within a superior system, emphasizes the efficiency of the organization. This sort of process does not just evaluate and manage the working abilities of individuals, but provides an advanced working environment that increases the abilities of members within the organization by fold. Therefore, this research estimates through questionnaires and introductive cases how the introduction of ERP may change the work of customers within hospitals such as the radiologic technology department, and how it may also change the environment of medical services, thus striving to create a radiologic technology department that will not fall behind the times.

In this paper, we proposed a downscaled 3D object technique using medical images for telediagnostic use. The proposed system consisted of downscaling/thresholding processes for building a downscaled 3D object and a process for obtaining 2D images at specific angles for diagnosis support. We used 80 slices of Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine(DICOM) CT images as sample images and the platform-independent Java language for the experiment. We confirmed that the total image set size and transmission time of the original DICOM image set using a down-scaled 3D object decreased approximately $99\%\;and\;98.41\%,$ respectively. With additional studies, the proposed technique obtained from these results will become useful in supporting diagnosis for home and hospital care.
