  • Research should be actively conducted for the ability of X-ray equipment and Retrospective image analysis of X-ray equipment used in hospitals. Retrospective image analysis of X-ray machines, CT and MRI of radiology and medical equipment has been actively conducted. However, image quality measurement using angiography equipment of angiography room is mostly measured with phantom, and image quality measurement on image after being taken by actual patient is insufficient and researches on accurate image quality measurement method are remarkable. It is in short supply. Therefore, through this study, the researcher devised a method to measure the image quality of the acquired image after coronary angiography, and to provide a high quality image to the operator. The equipment and programs used were angiographic examination equipment (Axiom Artis Zee Ceiling) and Image J program. Subjects were images automatically saved in PACS program after coronary angiography.For image quality measurement, selected the AP Caudal 30° image that show the LCA vessel well and the LAO 30° image that show the RCA vessel well during the coronary angiography. In order to measure the background and ROI of the selected image by selecting an image, a criterion on how to find and measure a section where the overlap of the shadow, such as blood vessel, liver and lung is minimized, is presented. In conclusion, there is no exact standard for analyzing an image quality measurement method of angiography image. Therefore, in order to provide quality images to the practistioners, not only the technicians of the equipment but also the users who actually use them should become researchers and conduct research on image quality measurement in various ways. Thus, it is expected to provide excellent images to patients.

  • We determined the reference axis for the subjective estimation of X-ray images. The used images are the noised image and the noise plus signal image. The used subjective estimation method is the curve of Receiver Operation Characteristic. To determine the evaluation reference axis between the noise image and the image with signal, Fuzzy Logic System is used.

  • 21.6" a-Si:H TFT array for direct conversion X-ray detector with 2480 by 3072 pixel is successfully developed. To obtain good X-ray image quality, novel structure, storage on BCB structure, is proposed. The structure reduces the parasitic capacitance of data line, one of the main sources of signal noise. Also, the structure shows higher failure resistance against defects than that of the old design.

  • A new concept of periapical radiography, intra oral x-ray tube and detector system is introduced. It is new system that a miniature x-ray tube is inserted into mouse and it acquired digital image using external detector. In this study, we have investigated temperature and dose distribution of insertional x-ray tube for periapical radiography. To analyze temperature characteristic of x-ray tube, we attached the thermocouple to surface of x-ray tube and we measured the temperature according to distance. Also, we measured the dose distribution of a miniature x-ray tube according to distance. As a result, temperature was constant to $27^{\circ}C$ over 2mm without cooling system, dose distribution of x-ray tube was 3.14 and 1.84mGy in 3 and 5cm, respectively. Therefore, the proposed x-ray system works in lower dose than conventional dental x-ray system. Thus, it is considered that new concept of system will have a significant effect on medical imaging technology.

  • In this paper, ROC curves were designed by using Fuzzy Logic Systems. ROC curve is used for diagnostic evaluation and the person evaluating ROC curve is chosen as a first-level diagnostician. For rating diagnostic capability on ROC curve through learning, the chest X-ray image is used. The images used for making a diagnosis are X-ray film being both noise and signal. The result over diagnostic capability difference between the male and the female represented a man had better than a woman but that difference can be ignored.

  • 본 논문에서는 피라미드 계층간에 나타나는 잡음 신호의 특성을 바탕으로 라플라시안 피라미드를 이용한 X-ray 영상의 잡음 제거 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 잡음 제거를 위해 X-ray 영상 신호의 지역적 표준 편차와 신호의 영역적 특징을 이용하였다. 지역적 표준 편차는 영상의 경계선 정도와 비례하는 특징을 가지기 때문에 지역적 표준 편차를 이용하여 경계 정보의 손실을 막았다. 또한 라플라시안 피라미드의 각 계층에 잡음 신호가 좁은 면적을 가지며 분포되는 영역적 특징을 이용하여 평평한 지역에서 잡음 신호의 제거 성능을 높였다. X-ray영상 및 잡음이 첨가된 표준 영상에 대한 실험을 통해 제안된 방법이 경계 정보의 유지와 잡음 제거에서 기존의 방법보다 향상된 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

  • During the past few years, advances have been made in both in X-ray tube and detector technologies. The field of microfocus radioscopy has been established as an important testing process and has expanded into many new industrial applications that require quality control or process optimization. The first nanofocus and multifocus X-ray systems have become available with a focal spot of .5 micron. In the existing range of microfocus X-ray tubes, further improvements have been achieved as well, such as increased long term stability of intensity position constancy. Software, image processing and manipulation techniques have all progressed as well, allowing X-ray to become a formidable non-destructive inspection method for manufacturers in virtually every industry, especially those involved with Electronic Packaging and SMT.

  • 흉부 X-ray 영상은 폐 질환을 진단하는 기본적인 도구로써 널리 사용되고 있다. 정확한 진단을 위해 흉부 X-ray 영상의 품질을 평가하는 과정을 거쳐야 하는데, 이 과정은 주관적인 기준에 따라 수 작업으로 이루어지기 때문에 많은 시간과 비용이 소요된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 임상 현장에서 사용되는 흉부 X-ray 영상 화질 평가 가이드라인을 기반으로 인공음영, 포함범위, 환자자세, 흡기정도, 그리고 투과 상태의 5가지 품질 평가를 자동화하는 도구를 제안한다. 제안하는 도구는 품질 판단에 소요되는 시간과 비용을 줄여주고, 더 나아가 흉부 병변 진단을 위한 학습 모델 개발의 양질의 학습 데이터를 선별하는 전처리 과정에 활용될 수 있다.

  • In the industrial field for product inspection needs not only on the surface of the product but also the internal components defect inspection. Generally, optical inspection is mainly used for item inspection from production process. However, this is only to check defect of surface it is difficult to perform inspection of goods internal. To overcome these limitations, Instead of optical device by using the portable X- ray DR image acquisition device system developed to obtain an image in real time at the same time and determine product defects. After obtaining the X- ray image, the inspection product within error range is passed after machine image processing. Also, the results and numbers are stored by users.
