본 논문에서는 시각화와 공간적, 속성 혼합 쿼리를 수행할 수 있는 관계형 데이터베이스를 설계하고 구현하였다. 쿼리에 사용되는 데이터형은 슬라이스, MPR, 볼륨 렌더링으로 시각화할 수 있으며, 쿼리는 아탈라스를 이용하는 경우와 그렇지 않는 경우를모두 고려하였다. 영상 데이터는 공간충전 곡선으로 공간적으로 클러스트링한 후 무손실 압축하여 데이터베이스에 저장된다. 본 논문은 저장 데이터의 양을 줄이기 위하여 관심영역의 크기에 따라 창의 크기가 변하는 적응적 Hibert 곡선을 제안하였으며, 실험에서 Hibert 곡선의 적용한 데이터보다 약 1.15배 높은 압축율을 보였다. 또한 아틀라스에 대한 뇌종양의 공간적 쿼리 결과를 통하여 본 의료 영상 데이터베이스의 유용성을 보였다.

의료용으로 사용되는 초음파 진단장치와 PC간의 인터페이스를 통해서 초음파 의료 영상 정보를 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였다. 초음파 진단장치와 PC간의 양방향 데이터 전송이 가능하도록 양방향 인터페이스 카드를 하드웨어로 제작하였고, 이에 맞는 통신 프로토콜을 구현하였다. 또한 영상 정보의 데이터 베이스를 구축하기 용이하도록 영상 파일의 형태를 새로이 정의하였으며 진단장치에서 디스플레이되는 영상을 PC에 맞도록 좌표 변환해서 디스플레이할 수 있도록 소프트웨어를 구현하였다. 특히, 초음파 진단장치의 컨벡스(convex)와 섹터(sector)의 의료영상을 PC에서 디스플레이하기 위해 위치지정과 인터폴레이션(interpolation)기법을 적용하였다. 본 시스템의 타당성을 입증하기 위해서 진단장치와 PC에서 디스플레이되는 영상을 서로 비교함으로써 전송시 영상의 좌표변환이 성공적으로 이루어졌음을 증명하였다.

In this paper, we describe an abvanced medical diagnostic system using multimedia technologies in netwok environments. In the system, docotors in remote sites perorm medicl diagnosis by exchanging information about patients and 3-D medicl images of malfunctioning body parts, which are reconstructed from 2-D images such as MRI, CT, CR, Angio. The diagnosic conferencing system controls the conferencing process by exchanging audio, information about patients, 3-D medical images and control data. 3-D medicl images are reconstructed by a ray casting method that uses an nalytical integration. Medical databae conists of absic information about patients, Information about medicl images, users, results of dianosis.

Recently, the medical imaging field has been digitalized by the development of computer science and digitization of the medical devices. There are needs of the medical imaging database service and long term storage today because of the installation of PACS system following DICOM standards, telemedicine and etc. and ,also, the illegal distortion of the medical information, data authentication and copyright are being happened. In this paper, we propose watermarking technique as a method which can protect private informations and medical imaging from geometric distortion. Because many watermarks for images are sensitive to geometric distortion, we present a algorithm that is insensitive to RST distortion in medical image. we observed the robustness against several of the signal processing and attacks in medical imaging field by embedding watermark after making a region which is insensitive to RST distortion by using FFT and LPM transformation.

Developement of computer and digitalizing of medical implement are being caused digitalizing of medical image. Medical Images are being managed more by PACS. In this situation comes out many problem about ownership, the right of properity of the medical images and notice wheather the data are modified. Digital watermarking can solve this problem. The proposed schemes have a two weak point that Non-blind method need a original image and Blind method use gaussian watermarking. In this paper, we propose a blind watermarking using binary image in order to easily recognize result of watermark This proposed scheme using wavelet transform and Circular Input method that input in medium-band of frequency domain.

The recent medical treatment guidelines and the development of information technology make hospitals reduce the expense in surrounding environment and it requires improving the quality of medical treatment of the hospital. Moreover, MIS, PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication System), OCS, EMR are also developing. Medical Information System is evolved toward integration of medical IT and situation is changing with increasing high speed in the ICT convergence. Mobile component refers to construct wireless system of hospital which has constructed in existing environment. Through RFID development in existing system, anyone can log on easily to internet whenever and wherever. It is the core technology to implement automatic medical processing system. This paper provides a basic review of RFID model, PACS application component services. In addition, designed and implemented database server's component program and client program of mobile application that recognized RFID tag and patient data in the ubiquitous environments. This system implemented mobile PACS that performed patient data based db environments, and so reduced delay time of requisition, medical treatment, lab.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second largest cause of cancer deaths and most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. The currently most popular method for early detection of breast cancer is the digital mammography. A mass or calcification lesion has been known as the most important clue for the diagnosis. In this paper, we propose a diagnosis approach based on fuzzy cluster knowledge base. We combine different two sources of feature data in duel OFUN-NET and produce the diagnosis result with possibility degree. We also present the experimental results on the dataset of mass and calcification lesions extracted from the public real world mammogram database DDSM. These results show higher classification accuracy than conventional methods and the feasibility as a decision supporting tool for diagnosis of digital mammogram.

In anatomical aspects, magnetic resonance image offers more accurate information than other medical images such as X ray ultrasonic and CT images. This paper introduces a method that recognizes disk diseases from spine MR images. In this method, image enhancement, image segmentation and feature extraction for sagittal plane and axial plane images are performed to separate the disk region. And then template matching method is used to extract disease region for axial plane imges. Finally, disease feature vectors are integrated and disease discrimination processes are performed. Experimental results show that the proposed method discriminates between normal and diseased disk with a considerable recognition ratio.

The Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) standard was proposed by the International Standardization Organization (ISO/SC 29/WG 10) and the CCITT SG VIII as an international standard for digital continuous-tone still image compression. The JPEG standard has been widely accepted in electronic imaging, computer graphics, and multi-media applications, however, due to the lossy character of the JPEG compression its application in the field of medical imaging has been limited. In this paper, the JPEG standard was applied to a series of head sections of magnetic resonance (MR) images (256 gray levels, $256{\times}256$ size) and its performance was investigated. For this purpose, DCT-based sequential mode of the JPEG standard was implemented using the CL550 compression chip and progressive and lossless coding was implemented by software without additional hardware. From the experiment, it appears that the compression ratio of about 10 to 20 was obtained for the MR images without noticeable distortion. It is also noted that the error signal between the reconstructed image by the JPEG and the original image was nearly random noise without causing any special-pattern-related artifact. Although the coding efficiency of the progressive and hierarchical coding is identical to that of the sequential coding in compression ratio and SNR, it has useful features In fast search of patient Image from huge image data base and in remote diagnosis through slow public communication channel.
