The PET/CT scanner is an evolution in image technology. The two modalities are complementary with CT and PET images. The PET scan images are well known as low resolution anatomic landmak, but such problems may help with interpretation detailed anatomic framework such as that provided by CT scan. PET/CT offers some advantages-improved lesion localization and identification, more accurate tumor staging. etc. Conventional PET employs tranmission scan require around 4 min./bed position and 30 min. for whole body scan. But PET/CT scanner can reduced by 50% in whole body scan. Especially nowadays PET scanner LSO scintillator-based from BGO without septa and operate in 3-D acquisition mode with multidetectors CT. PET/CT scanner fusion problems solved through hardware rather than software. Such device provides with the capability to acquire accurately aligned anatomic and functional images from single scan. It is very important to effective detection from gamma ray source in PETdetector. And can be offer high quality diagnostic images. So we have study about detection processing of PET detector and high quality imaging process.

A simple laboratory-made radioactive source to check the integrity of a gamma spectrometry system with HPGe detector was developed. The check source consists of radium-riched soil which was ground in size of less than 0.154mm and contained in air tight cylinderical vial, and provides photons with 12 distinct energies. The spectra of the check source were measured once a month during one year, analyzed the charactreictics of their peaks. When the gamma spectrometry system was in normal state, the areas and FWHMs of the gamma rays with more than 3% gamma emission rate in radium and its decay products was constant within standard deviation 2% and 3%, respectively, except 77 keV peak. And it was found that this check source can play a sufficient role to check the integrity of a gamma spectrometry system using 10 peaks in the range of 77 to 2202 keV.

감마선폭발(Gamma Ray Burst) 사건에서 순식간에 방출되는 광자들을 측정할 뿐만 아니라, 가시광 영역부터 감마선 영역 내에서 다른 변광하는 현상들을 연구하기 위해, 마이크로-인공위성에 탑재될 실험으로 Ultra Fast Flash Observatory(UFFO)을 제안한다. 이 UFFO의 핵심 기술은 Micro-Electro-Mechanical System mirrors가 빠른 시간이내에 타겟쪽으로 회전하여 측정하는 것이다. 이것은 우주상에서 감마선폭발로부터 오는 자외선/가시광선을 가장 빨리 측정하는 망원경으로, 이 현상의 생성 매커니즘을 이해하는데 중요한 정보를 제공할 것이다. 넓은 시야각을 가진 망원경으로부터 짧은 시간동안 순식간에 변하는 사건들을 판독하는 트리거 시스템과 제한된 처리 시간내에 망원경에서 검출기로 전달된 상당량의 데이터를 처리하는 신호처리 장치의 구현에 대해서 발표할 것이다.

In this study, an optical fiber detector was constructed by using a Ce:GAGG scintillator, optical fiber, and photomultiplier. The single crystal size of the scintillator was set to $3{\times}3{\times}20mm^3$ after simulating the counting efficiency of gamma rays in the scintillator by using the MCNPX code. The constructed detector used the standard gamma ray sources $^{137}Cs$ and $^{133}Ba$ to measure radiation and analyze the spectral characteristics of gamma rays. The resulting trend curve showed excellent linearity with an R-squared value of 0.99741, and the detector characteristics were found to vary 2% or less with distance based on comparison with the MCNPX value. Furthermore, the spectroscopic analysis of the gamma ray energy from the single-ray and mixed-ray sources showed that $^{137}Cs$ had its peak energy at 662 keV, and $^{133}Ba$ had at 356 keV. It seems that if the fiber-optics detector is used, working hours and exposure of worker can be reduced.

The measurement of gamma-ray spectrum of $^{nat}W(p,xn)$ reaction with natural tungsten were performed by using a high energy proton generated from a 100-MeV proton linear accelerator of the Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC). Gamma rays generated by various nuclides generated through the nuclide were measured using a gamma-ray spectroscopy system composed of HPGe detector. A gamma-ray standard source was used for energy calibration and efficiency measurement of the detector. Analysis of the gamma rays observed in the measured spectra showed that the radionuclides produced were $^{167}Re$, $^{178}Re$, $^{179}Re$, $^{180}Re$, $^{181}Re$, $^{182}Re$, $^{184}Re$, $^{172}Ta$, $^{174}Ta$, $^{178}Ta$, $^{182}Ta$, $^{184}Ta$, $^{175}W$, $^{176}W$, $^{177}W$ and $^{179}W$. Nuclides were generated. The results of this study will be applied to nuclear fusion, astrophysics, and nuclear medicine applications in the future.

Stereo gamma ray detection system generates a two-dimensional image of the gamma ray by using the position values and the gamma ray signal. And the device will overlap with the visible light image shows the actual distribution of the gamma-ray space. The gamma ray detection device is a stereo configuration to a motion controller for controlling the signal measurement unit and the position detection portion for detecting the detection portion and the gamma-ray signal comprising a gamma-ray detection sensor. In this paper, we developed a system operation management algorithm for each module individually configured efficiently. We confirmed the imaged and distribution information output for the gamma rays from gamma-ray irradiation test site by using these results.

Microorganisms in seafood cooking drips were counted and identified. Total viable cell counts were 6.40 and 3.10 log CFU/g in cooking drips of Hizikia fusiformis and Thunnus thynnus, respectively. However, microbial populations fell with increased irradiation doses. In H. fusiformis cooking drips, a 5-log reduction in total aerobic bacteria was obtained by irradiation with 5 kGy. In T. thynnus cooking drips, however, contaminating microorganisms were more resistant to gamma irradiation and only a 1-log reduction was seen. DNA sequence analysis showed that the principal contaminating microorganisms in H. fusiformis and T. thynnus cooking drips were Lactobacillus and Bacillus species, respectively. Therefore, the high irradiation resistance of T. thynnus cooking drips microbes may result from spore formation by Bacillus species.

Radiation monitoring is one of the most important process in all places where radioactive material is used including hospital. In this preliminary study, we made GAS electron multiplier (GEM) detector and acquired relative efficiencies in order to see if GEM detector can be useful in radiation monitoring system. The relative efficiency was acquired by using the ratio of GEM detector efficiency to CdTe detector efficiency. The relative efficiency of 72% and 4% was acquired for beta-ray and gamma-ray respectively.

본 연구는 특수목적식품을 개발하기 위한 대표적인 비가열 살균처리 기술인 방사선 살균기술을 이용하여 저장 중 프레스햄의 미생물학적 품질을 평가하고자 하였다. 그 결과 감마선비조사구의 경우 제조공정 단계에 관계없이 $30^{\circ}C$ 저장 4일 째에 모두 미생물 생육이 활발해져 장기저장에 부적합한 것으로 나타났으나, 감마선을 조사할 경우 훈연후 및 살균전 시료의 경우 5 kGy, 살균후 시료의 경우 3 kGy의 감마선 조사로 $30^{\circ}C$ 저장 4일 까지 미생물의 생육이 검출되지 않았다. 따라서, 감마선 조사기술은 프레스햄의 살균방법으로 이용이 가능하며, 특히 장기저장을 목적으로 하는 우주식, 환자식, 전투식량 등의 특수목적식품의 개발에 그 이용이 가능하다 할 수 있다.
