본 연구는 3차원 자화강조영상 획득 시 재구성되는 위상영상의 겹쳐진 위상과 현격한 자화율 차이에 의한 영상의 불균일성을, 낮은 주파수 대역폭을 제한하는 High Pass Filter(HPF)를 적용함으로써 개선하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 2013년 11월부터 2014년 3월까지 3차원 자화강조영상 검사를 받은 환자를 대상으로 high pass filter의 적용 전후 영상 간 차이를 확인하기 위하여 기존의 위상영상과 HPF를 적용한 새로운 위상영상의 최대, 최소 신호강도 차이 및 불균일도를 비교 분석하였다. 연구결과, HPF 적용 전후에 따른 최대, 최소 신호강도의 차이는 274.16%(498.98), 불균일도는 439.55%(19.83) 감소하였다. 이는 HPF를 적용하여 낮은 주파수를 차단한 새로운 위상영상이 기존의 위상영상에 비해 겹쳐진 위상신호를 효과적으로 제거하여 영상의 균일도가 높아졌음을 의미한다. 결론적으로 3차원 자화강조영상 획득 시 재구성되는 위상영상에 HPF를 적용하면 겹쳐진 위상과 현격한 자화율 차이에 의한 영상의 불균일성을 효과적으로 개선할 수 있어 영상의 질을 크게 개선할 수 있다.

Air-water flow measurements are of importance for the coastal and ocean engineering fields. Although kinematic investigations of the multi-phase flows have been conducted for long time, velocity measurements still are concerned with many researchers and engineers in coastal and ocean areas. In the present study, an imaging technique using shadowgraphy and fiber optic probe for velocity measurements of air bubbles is introduced. The shadow graphy image technique is modified from the typical image velocimetry methods, and optical fibers are used for the well-known intrusive coupled phase-detection probe system. Since the imaging technique is a non-intrusive optical method from the air, it is usually applied for 2D flows. On the other hand, the double fiber optic probes touch flows regardless of flow patterns. The results of the flow measurements by both methods are compared and discussed. The methods are also applied to the measurements of overtopping flows by a breaking wave over the structure fixed on the free surface.

Particle Image Velocimetry combined with developed image processing method is adopted to study the liquid-solid two phase flow in the centrifugal pump impeller with crystallization phenomenon. The tracer particle is used to follow the liquid phase, which has the diameter between 8 to $12{\mu}m$. The crystal particle precipitates from the sodium sulfate solution does change the wavelength of the laser, and which has great laser scattering characteristics. The diameter of the crystal particle is larger than $20{\mu}m$. Through calculating the diameter of the particles in the image, the tracer particle and the crystal particle can be distinguished. By analyzing the experimental result, the following conclusion has been obtained. During the delay period, there is not any crystal particle and the pump performance has not been changed. As the crystallization process begins, the crystal nuclei appears from the supersaturation solution and grows larger with temperature decreasing, which has the tendency of moving towards the pressure side. The characteristics of liquid-solid two phase flow with crystallization phenomenon in the pump are obtained according to analysis of experimental results, and some guiding advices are presented to mitigate the crystallization phenomenon in pump impeller.

복부-골반 CT검사 시 피폭선량을 측정해 보고, 영상 판독에 영향을 미치지 않는 범위에서 복부와 골반의 피폭선량 최적화를 위한 프로토콜을 제시하고자 하였다. 기존 임상의 스캔 방식인 120 kVp, AEC(auto exposure control) 기법을 이용한 복부-골반을 1 phase로 스캔을 하였고, 새로 제시한 2 phase 스캔 방식은 1 phase 복부검사와 2 phase 골반검사로 각각 나누어 복부검사는 관전압 120 kVp, AEC, 골반검사는 120 kVp, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400 mA로 고정 관전류 기법을 이용하여 실시하였다. 스캔 시 측정된 $CTDI_{VOL}$, DLP 값을 이용해 선량값을 비교하였고, 각 스캔 영상에서 CT 감약계수와 노이즈, SNR의 평균값을 구해 영상을 평가하였다. 연구결과는 2 phase 스캔 시 1 phase 스캔 시보다 $CTDI_{VOL}$ 값은 복부에서 26%, 골반 100~250 mA에서 1.8~59.5% 감소, 300~400 mA에서 12.7~30% 증가로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 또한, DLP값은 2 phase 스캔 시 1 phase 스캔 시보다 복부에서 약 53%, 골반에서 약 41~81% 감소를 보였으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. SNR은 심장주변에서 2 phase 스캔 시, 골반주변에서는 1 phase 스캔 시, 상복부와 하복부에서 1 phase 스캔 시보다 2 phase 200~250 mA 스캔 시 높게 나타났다. 또한, CT Number와 노이즈는 전반적으로 비슷한 양상을 보였지만, 골반 주변에서 노이즈가 높게 나타났다. 그러나 2 phase의 골반주변 250 mA 스캔 시 1 phase와 비슷한 노이즈값을 나타냈고 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았기에 통상적인 1 phase 400 mA보다 골반을 분리시켜 250 mA 스캔 시 화질에 차이 없이 피폭선량 감소효과를 볼 수 있을 것으로 본다. 그러므로 잦은 복부-골반 CT를 시행하는 환자 혹은 가임기여성, 소아의 골반은 피폭을 줄이면서 화질차이 없이 검사를 위한 2 phase 검사를 제안한다.

The correction of image artifacts due to misadjustment in tuning of RF coils (tip angle) and in the RF single sideband spectrometer was investigated using phase cycling of the $\pi$/2 and $\pi$ pulses in spin-echo sequences. A general procedure was developed for the systematic design of phase cycles that select desirable coherence transfer pathways. To analyze a phase cycling sequence, changes in the coherence level and phase factor for each RF pulse in the spin-echo cycle must be determined. Four different phase cycling schemes (FIXED, ALTERNATE, FORWARD, REVERSED) to suppress unwanted signal components such as mirror and ghost images were evaluated using two signal acquisitions. When the receiver phase factor is cycled counter-clockwise (REVERSED), these artifacts are completely removed.

Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays an important role in non-invasive detection and characterization of primary and metastatic lesions in the liver. Recently, efforts have been made to improve spatial and temporal resolution of DCE liver MRI for arterial phase imaging. Review of recent publications related to arterial phase imaging of the liver indicates that there exist primarily two approaches: breath-hold and free-breathing. For breath-hold imaging, acquiring multiple arterial phase images in a breath-hold is the preferred approach over conventional single-phase imaging. For free-breathing imaging, a combination of three-dimensional (3D) stack-of-stars golden-angle sampling and compressed sensing parallel imaging reconstruction is one of emerging techniques. Self-gating can be used to decrease respiratory motion artifact. This article introduces recent MRI technologies relevant to hepatic arterial phase imaging, including differential subsampling with Cartesian ordering (DISCO), golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP), and X-D GRASP. This article also describes techniques related to dynamic 3D image reconstruction of the liver from golden-angle stack-of-stars data.

The film thickness and shape of elastohydrodynamic lubrication is measured by optical interferometer, which is the most precise method for EHL film measurement. However the interpretation of the image pattern from optical viscometer is not easy for two-dimensional shape. A newly developed method of image processing makes it possible to evaluate the film thickness and shape in every point of contact region with two dimensional aspects. In this study, we captured film shape of EHL film from the monochromatic incident light with the Image processing method, which uses phase shift method, and obtained the image analysis method for gray level image in order to qualitatively evaluate film shapes.

The aim of microscopic image restoration is to recover the image by applying the inverse process of degradation, and the results facilitate automated and improved analysis of the image. In this work, we consider the problem of image restoration as a minimization problem of convex cost function, which consists of a least-squares fitting term and regularization terms with non-negative constraints. The finite step method is proposed to solve this constrained convex optimization problem. We demonstrate the convergence of this method. Efficiency and restoration capability of the proposed method were tested and illustrated through numerical experiments.

본 논문에서는 DCT 영역에서 스크램블된 이진 위상 컴퓨터형성홀로그램을 이용한 디지털 영상 워터마킹 기술을 제안하였다. 워터마크 삽입과정은 워터마크로 사용되는 은닉영상 대신 은닉영상을 손실 없이 재생할 수 있는 이진 위상 컴퓨터홀로그램을 생성하고 이를 스크램블기법으로 암호화 하여 워터마크로 사용한다. 그리고 암호화된 워터마크에 가중치 함수를 곱하고 호스트영상의 DCT 영역에서 DC성분에 삽입한 후 IDCT를 수행한다. 워터마크의 추출은 워터마킹된 영상과 원래의 호스트영상의 DCT계수 차이를 구하고, 삽입시 적용한 가중치 함수를 나눈 후 디스크램블링 하여 복호화 한다 그리고 복호화된 워터마크를 역푸리에 변환하여 은닉영상을 재생한다 마지막으로 원래의 은닉영상과 복호화된 은닉영상과의 상관을 통해 워터마크의 존재여부를 결정한다. 제안된 워터마킹 기술은 이진 값으로 구성된 은닉영상의 홀로그램정보를 이용하고 스크램블링 암호화 기법을 활용하였음으로 기존의 어떠한 워터마킹 기술보다 압축, 잡음 및 절단과 같은 다양한 외부공격에 안전하고 견실한 특징을 가지고 있음을 컴퓨터시뮬레이션을 통해 그 장점들을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose an improved practical encryption and fault-tolerance decryption method using a non-negative value key and random function obtained with a white noise by using iterative phase wrapping method. A phase wrapping operating key, which is generated by the product of arbitrary random phase images and an original phase image. is zero-padded and Fourier transformed. Fourier operating key is then obtained by taking the real-valued data from this Fourier transformed image. Also the random phase wrapping operating key is made from these arbitrary random phase images and the same iterative phase wrapping method. We obtain a Fourier random operating key through the same method in the encryption process. For practical transmission of encryption and decryption keys via Internet, these keys should be intensity maps with non-negative values. The encryption key and the decryption key to meet this requirement are generated by the addition of the absolute of its minimum value to each of Fourier keys, respectively. The decryption based on 2-f setup with spatial filter is simply performed by the inverse Fourier transform of the multiplication between the encryption key and the decryption key and also can be used as a current spatial light modulator technology by phase encoding of the non-negative values. Computer simulations show the validity of the encryption method and the robust decryption system in the proposed technique.
