현재 치과 방사선 영상에 적용되고 있는 대부분의 영상공제술은 기준점을 이용한 정한에 근거하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수작업에 의한 기준점 설정 방법을 이용하지 않고 자동적으로 정참을 수행하는 방법을 개발하였다. 두 영상의 기하학적 매칭을 국소적 관심영역(ROI)에 한정시켜서 이 관심영역 간의 상관계수를 비교한다. 두 영역의 상관계수가 최대화되는 affine 또는 perspective 변환 파라미터를 고속의 탐색전략을 이용하여 반복적으로 찾는다. 우선 1/4 스케일 영상에 대하여 근사적인 파라미터를 탐색한 후 다시 원래 영상에 대하여 미세한 매칭이 이루어진다. 개발된 방법은 Gaussian 잡음에 의해 손상된 모의영상을 모의변환을 하지 않은 영상과 동일한 정도의 정확도를 가지고 정합 할 수 있다. 개발된 방법의 perspective 변환을 이용한 정합의 정확도는 수작업에 의한 것보다 17%향상된 결과를 보였다. 결론적으로, 이 방법의 치과 임플란트 영상에의 적용은 거의 실시간으로 자동적이고 잡음에 강인한 정합을 제공한다.

본 연구에서는 감마선과 섬광체 및 광 다이오드로 구성된 64 채널의 선형 디텍터 어레이를 이용하여 보온재로 싸인 배관의 두께를 실시간으로 측정하는 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 측정시스템은 감마선원으로 Ir-192를 사용하였으며, 디텍터는 BGO 섬광체와 광다이오드로 구성하였다. Ir-192 방사선원은 배관의 한쪽 편에, 그리고 디텍터 어레이는 배관을 중심으로 그 반대편에 위치하며 컴퓨터로 제어되는 주행 시스템에 실려 배관을 따라 이송되는 동안 배관과 단열재를 투과한 방사선의 강도는 각 디텍터에서 측정된다. 측정된 디텍터 어레이의 출력은 증폭기에서 증폭된 후 케이블에 의해 컴퓨터로 전송되며 주행시스템이 진행하는 동안 컴퓨터는 수집된 신호를 분석 및 계산하여 실제의 두께를 나타내며 주사간격을 1mm로 할 경우의 최대 측정속도는 분당 120cm이다.

In this study, the behavior of a shaped charge projectile's metal jet was analyzed using flash radiography. The projectile was installed horizontally to observe the behavior of jet for enough time. While the X-ray tube heads are fixed at one point, the behavior range of the jet is wide in this experimental set up, therefore the angle between the X-ray tube heads and the jet tip is changed continuously as jet moves forward. Jet particle's locations calculated from the X-ray films become different from their real positions under this situation because of the film to object distance(FTOD) and correction for error by FTOD is required. In this study, a method was devised to correct the error by FTOD and this was applied for the investigation of jet behavior of a 70 mm caliber's shaped charge.

Background: Among facial fractures, nasal bone fracture, zygomatic arch fracture and mandibular subcondyle fracture take a large portion. Among surgical operations for nasal bone fracture, zygomatic arch fracture and mandibular subcondyle fracture, closed reduction has been generally used but, unlike open reduction, there is a problem in evaluating its accuracy of reduction. Methods: An assessment was made from October 2011 until April 2013 prospectively on 37 patients. For all the operations, closed reductions were executed in a conventional way and simultaneously using C-Arm to verify the reduction of fractures. Two images of plain radiography, one taken before operation and another one taken one day after the operation, were compared. After obtaining images of plain radiography using C-Arm immediately after the correction upon operation, they were compared with the images of plain radiography taken one day after the operation. Results: The fracture reductions of 26 patients among 27 nasal fracture patients were satisfactory but one patient showed a marginal overcorrection of less than 1 mm. The fracture reductions of 7 patients among 8 zygomatic arch fracture patients were satisfactory but one patient showed a marginal undercorrection of less than 2 mm. All of two mandibular subcondyle fracture patients showed less than 2 mm undercorrection. Conclusion: Closed reduction guided by C-Arm for nasal bone fracture, zygomatic arch fracture and mandibular subcondyle fracture was clinically useful because it could make a real-time assessment on fractured areas and add immediate corrections during the operation.

The treatment setup of patients during irradiation is an important aspect in relation to the success of radiotherapy. Imaging with the treatment beam is a widely used method or verification of the radiation field position relative to the target area, prior to or during irradiation. In this paper, Real time digital radiography system was implemented or verification of local error between simulation plan and radiation therapy machine. Portal image can be acquired by CCD camera, image board and pentium PC after therapy Radiation was converted into light by a metal/fluorescent Screen. The resulting image quality is comparable to film, so the imaging system represents a promising alternative to film as a method of verifying patient positioning in radiotherapy. Edge detection and field size measurement were also implemented and detected automatically for verification of treatment position. Field edge was added to the original image or checking the anatomical treatment verification by therapy technicians. By means of therapy efficiency improvement and decrease of Radiation side effects with these techniques, Exact Radiation treatments are expected.

In liquid metal fast breeder reactors, postulated failures of the plant protection system may lead to serious unprotected accidental consequences. Unprotected transients are generically categorized as transient overpower accidents and transient under cooling accidents. In both cases, core meltdown may occur and this can lead to a molten fuel coolant interaction (MFCI). The understanding of MFCI phenomena is essential for study of debris coolability and characteristics during post-accident heat removal. Sodium is used as coolant in liquid metal fast breeder reactors. Viewing inside sodium at elevated temperature is impossible because of its opaqueness. In the present study, a methodology to depict MFCI phenomena using a flat panel detector based imaging system (i.e., real time radiography) is brought out using a woods metal-water experimental facility which simulates the $UO_2-Na$ interaction. The developed imaging system can capture attributes of the MFCI process like jet breakup length, jet front velocity, fragmented particle size, and a profile of the debris bed using digital image processing methods like image filtering, segmentation, and edge detection. This paper describes the MFCI process and developed imaging methodology to capture MFCI attributes which are directly related to the safe aspects of a sodium fast reactor.

With the advancement of shoulder arthroscopy, use of biodegradable suture anchors in the surgical repair of rotator cuff tears has increased. Because of the radiolucency of these anchors, radiography is not appropriate for early detection of anchor failure. Ultrasonography is an advantageous modality in visualizing biodegradable, radiolucent anchors on a real-time basis without risk of radiation exposure. We report on two cases of displacement of a biodegradable suture anchor diagnosed on ultrasonography during the postoperative follow- up, which has not been previously reported. Because this displacement could be missed in the postoperative follow up ultrasonography, we describe the ultrasonographic features of the displaced biodegradable anchors. Surgeons and radiologists should pay special attention to the possibility of displacement of the suture anchor in patients who underwent rotator cuff repairs using suture anchors.

This paper describes the procedures and results of an acoustic emission testing performed during hydrotest of spherical pressure vessel for propane storage. A computer based multi-channel real time monitoring and source location analysis AET-4900 system was used for AE testing. The vessel was extremely quiet throughout the entire test run and especially 6 to $14.5kg/cm^{2}$, it is normal operating pressure range. After exceeding $14.5kg/cm^{2}$, one of the 20 sections showed the most event in any one section 11 total but there were scattered at different locations. In order to confirm the events seen in horizontal weld line of that section, proof testing was performed with ultrasonics and radiography.

Ingestion of foreign bodies (FBs) is a common phenomenon among young children. Plain radiography is the first step diagnostic modality to detect the radio-opaque FBs. And computed tomography has been recommended by several guidelines as useful modalities for diagnosing ingested FBs. However, there is a risk of radiation exposure, making it burdensome to use in asymptomatic patients. Ultrasound (US) is not a commonly used technique for diagnosing ingested foreign bodies. However, US can provide real-time imaging with good resolutions without radiation exposure in pediatric patients. Herein, we report two pediatric cases of metallic foreign body ingestion that were successfully diagnosed using US for localizing foreign bodies. This study indicates that US may be used as an alternative method for detecting the localization of metallic foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract without exposure of radiation, particularly in pediatric patients.
