  • The x-ray PIV method was improved for measuring quantitative velocity fields of real blood flows using a coherent synchrotron x-ray source. Without using any contrast media or seeding particles, this method can visualize flow pattern of blood by enhancing the phase-contrast and interference characteristics of blood cells based on a synchrotron x-ray imaging mechanism. The enhanced x-ray images were achieved by optimizing the sample-to-scintillator distance, the sample thickness, and hematocrit. The quantitative velocity fields of blood flows inside opaque tubes were obtained by applying a 2-frame PIV algorithm to the x-ray images of the blood flows. The measured velocity field data show typical features of blood flows such as the yield stress effect. The non-Newtonian flow characteristics of blood flows were analyzed using the x-ray PIV method and the experimental results were compared with hemodynamic models.

  • Clusters of galaxies provide unique laboratories to study astrophysical processes on large scales, and are also important probes for cosmology. X-ray observations are still the best way to find and characterise clusters. The extended ROSAT-ESO flux-limited X-ray (REFLEX II) galaxy clusters form currently the largest well-defined and tested X-ray galaxy cluster sample, providing a census of the large-scale structure of the Universe out to redshifts of z-0.4. I will describe the properties of the survey and the X-ray luminosity function, which led to our recent cosmological constraints on omegaM-sigma8. They tighten the previous constraints from other X-ray experiments, showing good agreements with those from the Planck clusters, but some tension exists with the Planck CMB constraints. The second part of my talk will concern the structure of the local Universe, and the study of the first X-ray superclusters. The density of the clusters reveals an under-dense region in the nearby Universe, which has an interesting implication for the cosmological parameters. Using the X-ray superclusters, that are constructed with a physically motivated procedure, I will show environmental aspects that X-ray superclusters provide, and compare to cosmological N-body simulations.

  • Synchrotron X-ray micro imaging technique was employed to non-invasively monitor the water flow inside xylem vessels in a bamboo leaf. The phase contrast X-ray images clearly visualized plant anatomy and the rise of a water front inside the vessels. Consecutive X-ray images taken for 60 seconds revealed water rise kinetics against gravity in the xylem of a cut dry leaf taken from a bamboo tree. For the first time, traces of water rise, variation of contact angle between water and xylem wall as well as the internal structure of xylem were obtained. In xylem vessels, a repeating flow pattern has a typical flow velocity of $30.7{\mu}m/s$ and faster flow is established intermittently. It is concluded that the transmission type of X-ray micro imaging can be used as a powerful tool to investigate the ascent of sap in the xylem vessels at a resolution higher than that of MRI.

  • Since the successful observation by Uhuru, the first astronomical satellite, X-ray astronomy has become one of the rapidly developing fields in astronomy. The scientific results provide us the unique opportunity to understand the high energy nature of X-ray sources. We now know that our galaxy contains many different types of X-ray sources such as the compact X-ray sources, galactic bulge sources in addition to the Sun, the brightest X-ray sources in the sky. In this study we review the general properties of galactic X-ray sources, the characteristics of periodic compact X-ray sources, and bursters as well as the models.

  • X-ray lithography was employed to fabricate ITO-less high resolution sustain electrodes for plasma display panel (PDP). A polyimide film based X-ray mask and Xray sensitive Ag electrode paste were fabricated to check their effect on the patterning of Ag electrodes with less than 30 ${\mu}m$ in width. The X-ray lithographic method was found to be useful for the high resolution sustain electrode patterns due to the high penetration power and low scattering property of X-ray source.

  • 흉부 X-ray 영상은 폐와 심장을 검사하는 방사선 검사이며 특히, 폐 질환을 진단하는 데 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 흉부 X-ray의 품질은 의사의 진단에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 품질을 평가하는 과정이 필수적으로 거쳐야 하는데, 이 과정은 영상의학과 전문의의 주관이 개입될 수 있고, 수작업으로 이루어지기 때문에 많은 시간과 비용이 소모된다. 또한, 이러한 품질평가는 X-ray 영상의 특징과 사용 목적에 따라 일반적인 품질평가와는 다른 평가 요소가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 X-ray 영상에서 검출되는 장기의 해상도, ,해부학적인 구조, 균형 등을 고려하여 임상 현장에서 사용되는 흉부 X-ray 영상 화질 평가 가이드라인을 적용하여 품질요소를 5가지(인공음영, 포함범위, 환자자세, 흡기정도, 그리고 투과상태)로 나누고 이를 자동화하는 도구를 제안한다. 제안하는 도구는 수작업으로 품질평가를 진행하는 본래의 방식 대비 소요 시간과 비용을 줄여주고, 더 나아가 흉부 X-ray를 이용한 학습 모델 개발에 높은 품질의 학습데이터를 선별하는 과정에도 사용될 수 있다.
