  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a simple method to measure magnetic susceptibility of arbitrarily shaped materials through MR imaging and numerical modeling. Materials and Methods: Our 3D printed phantom consists of a lower compartment filled with a gel (gel part) and an upper compartment for placing a susceptibility object (object part). The $B_0$ maps of the gel with and without the object were reconstructed from phase images obtained in a 3T MRI scanner. Then, their difference was compared with a numerically modeled $B_0$ map based on the geometry of the object, obtained by a separate MRI scan of the object possibly immersed in an MR-visible liquid. The susceptibility of the object was determined by a least-squares fit. Results: A total of 18 solid and liquid samples were tested, with measured susceptibility values in the range of -12.6 to 28.28 ppm. To confirm accuracy of the method, independently obtained reference values were compared with measured susceptibility when possible. The comparison revealed that our method can determine susceptibility within approximately 5%, likely limited by the object shape modeling error. Conclusion: The proposed gel-phantom-based susceptibility measurement may be used to effectively measure magnetic susceptibility of MR-compatible samples with an arbitrary shape, and can enable development of various MR engineering parts as well as test biological tissue specimens.

  • 자기공명 영상 시스템에서 영상을 얻고자 하는 물체내의 자화율 차이는 복셀내의 스핀들의 위상을 변화시킨다. 또한 스핀들 상호간의 위상변화로 인하여 영상 신호는 감쇄된다. 이러한 신호 세기의 감쇄는 자기공명 영상분야에서 자화율 효과라 알려져 왔고 이런 효과를 억제시키거나 또는 이용하는 연구가 심도있게 논의되어왔다. 본 논문에서 자화율 효과로 인한 신호의 변화를 분석할 수 있는 새로운 스펙트럼 분해법과 영상법을 제안하였다. 그리고 자화율 스펙트럼 분해법을 위한 펄스시퀀스를 개발하였고, 이것을 상자성(paramagnetic) 성질 때문에 자화율 효과가 생기는 정맥영상에 적용하였다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험과 팬텀(phantom)을 대상으로 한 실험 결과로 스펙트럼 분해법의 타당성을 보였다.

  • The likelihood ratio, logistic regression and artificial neural networks methods are applied and verified for analysis of landslide susceptibility in Yongin, Korea using GIS. From a spatial database containing such data as landslide location, topography, soil, forest, geology and land use, the 14 landsliderelated factors were calculated or extracted. Using these factors, landslide susceptibility indexes were calculated by likelihood ratio, logistic regression and artificial neural network methods. Before the calculation, the study area was divided into two sides (west and east) of equal area, for verification of the methods. Thus, the west side was used to assess the landslide susceptibility, and the east side was used to verify the derived susceptibility. The results of the landslide susceptibility analysis were verified using success and prediction rates. The v erification results showed satisfactory agreement between the susceptibility map and the exis ting data on landslide locations.

  • There are several methods currently being used to diagnose tuberculosis in patients, such as smear, PCR, tuberculosis culture and X-ray. For a proper medical treatment, antimicrobial susceptibility test and rapid drug susceptibility testing have been operated. Tuberculosis bacilli usually need 3~8 weeks of culture period because of delay in RNA synthesis and require 15~22 hours for generation. After a germ raises in culture, we initiated antimicrobial susceptibility test for a proper treatment. It has some difficulties to give a proper prescription for a tuberculosis patient because antimicrobial susceptibility test requires 4 weeks. To supplement this, we are practicing drug susceptibility testing which allow us to know the sensibility of RMP and INH after 2 or 3 days. But this is only possible when more than 2 positive germ. Therefore, we should practice rapid drug susceptibility testing with culture test. But if media is contaminated by other germs except Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it's hard to interpret result about culture test and to practice antimicrobial susceptibility test and rapid drug susceptibility testing. Because we have to practice again smear, culture test after extracting specimen from the patient, time is consumed and proper patient treatment is postponed. To address these problems and quick patient treatment, rapid drug susceptibility testing is practiced by using GenoType$^{(R)}$ MTDRplus method. As a result of this method we detected sensibility 10 and 7 cases and resistance 0 and 3 cases using RIM and INH respectively with other 1 case toward medicals out of the total 11 test. In conclusion rapid drug susceptibility testing can be used from the contaminated specimen after elimination of contaminated source from culture and proved that it can be practiced for rapid examination of a tuberculosis patient.

  • To analyze the landslide susceptibility in Baekdu mountain area in china, we get two susceptibility maps using AcrView software through weighted overlay GIS (Geographic Information System) method in this paper. To assess the landslide susceptibility, five factors which affect the landslide occurrence were selected as: slope, aspect, soil type, geological type, and land use. The weight value and rating value of each factor were calculated by the two different methods of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANN (Artificial Neural Network). Then, the weight and rating value was used to obtain the susceptibility maps. Finally, the susceptibility map shows that the very dangerous areas (0.9 or higher) were mainly distributed in the mountainous areas around JiAnShi, LinJiangShi, and HeLongShi near the china-north Korea border and in the mountainous area between the WangQingXian and AnTuXian. From the contrast two susceptibility map, we also Knew that The accuracy of landslide susceptibility map drew by ANN method was better than AHP method.

  • PROPELLER 확산강조영상기법이 금속에 의해 발생한 magnetic susceptibility artifact를 제거 할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 뇌 MRI를 촬영한 환자 중에서 치아에 금속성 이물질을 가지고 있는 환자 20명을 대상으로 3.0T MR scanner를 이용하여 b value 0, 1000 s/mm2을 기준으로 에코 평면확산강조영상, PROPELLER 확산강조영상과 각각의 ADC map영상을 획득한 후 양쪽 측두엽, 뇌교, 안와등 네 부위에서 발생한 magnetic susceptibility artifact의 발생률을 비교 하였다.에코평면 확산강조영상 기법에서 금속물질이 있는 경우 magnetic susceptibility artifact가 발생되어 진단에 큰 제한점을 두었지만 PROPELLER 확산강조영상기법은 magnetic susceptibility artifact를 감소함으로써 임상적으로 정확한 진단에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

  • Landslides are major natural geological hazards that result in a large amount of property damage each year, with both direct and indirect costs. Many researchers have produced landslide susceptibility maps using various techniques over the last few decades. This paper presents the landslide susceptibility results from the geographically weighted regression model using remote sensing and geographic information system data for landslide susceptibility in the Inje area of South Korea. Landslide locations were identified from aerial photographs. The eleven landslide-related factors were calculated and extracted from the spatial database and used to analyze landslide susceptibility. Compared with the global logistic regression model, the Akaike Information Criteria was improved by 109.12, the adjusted R-squared was improved from 0.165 to 0.304, and the Moran’s I index of this analysis was improved from 0.4258 to 0.0553. The comparisons of susceptibility obtained from the models show that geographically weighted regression has higher predictive performance.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop landslide susceptibility analysis techniques using artificial neural networks and then to apply these to the selected study area of Janghung in Korea. We aimed to verify the effect of data selection on training sites. Landslide locations were identified from interpretation of satellite images and field survey data, and a spatial database of the topography, soil, forest, and land use was constructed. Thirteen landslide-related factors were extracted from the spatial database. Using these factors, landslide susceptibility was analyzed using an artificial neural network. The weights of each factor were determined by the back-propagation training method. Five different training datasets were applied to analyze and verify the effect of training. Then, the landslide susceptibility indices were calculated using the trained back-propagation weights and susceptibility maps were constructed from Geographic Information System (GIS) data for the five cases. The results of the landslide susceptibility maps were verified and compared using landslide location data. GIS data were used to efficiently analyze the large volume of data, and the artificial neural network proved to be an effective tool to analyze landslide susceptibility.

  • The objective of this study was to determine the in vitro intracellular and extracellular minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 13 antimicrobials against one recently isolate Lawsonia intracellularis, the etiological agent of proliferative enteropathy (PE). The final MICs were assessed by counting the number of heavily infected cells (HICs;>30 bacteria per cell) using an immunoperoxidase monolayer assay. Enrofloxacin (InMIC; 1~2 ㎍/mL and ExMIC; 16 ㎍/mL) still presented the most notable antimicrobial susceptibility, and marbofloxacin (2 ㎍/mL and 8 ㎍/mL) was followed. Colistin (0.25 ㎍/mL and 2 ㎍/mL) presented a susceptibility followed by tylvalosin (1 ㎍/mL and 2 ㎍/mL). Florfenicol and lincomycin had the weakest susceptibility and amoxicillin, penicillin G, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, tiamulin, tilmicosin, and tylosin displayed weak susceptibility. Although some antibiotics showed decreased susceptibility patterns, they showed similar patterns to recent antibiotic susceptibility patterns in Korea. In addition, these results could be one of contributions in clinical fields.
