Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a pathological condition commonly occurring during the growth phase of infants. It acts as one of the factors that can disrupt an infant's growth and trigger potential complications. Therefore, it is critically important to detect and treat this condition early. The traditional diagnostic methods for DDH involve palpation techniques and diagnosis methods based on the detection of keypoints in the hip joint using X-ray or ultrasound imaging. However, there exist limitations in objectivity and productivity during keypoint detection in the hip joint. This study proposes a deep learning model-based keypoint detection method using X-ray and ultrasound imaging and analyzes the performance of keypoint detection using various deep learning models. Additionally, the study introduces and evaluates various data augmentation techniques to compensate the lack of medical data. This research demonstrated the highest keypoint detection performance when applying the residual network 152 (ResNet152) model with simple & complex augmentation techniques, with average Object Keypoint Similarity (OKS) of approximately 95.33 % and 81.21 % in X-ray and ultrasound images, respectively. These results demonstrate that the application of deep learning models to ultrasound and X-ray images to detect the keypoints in the hip joint could enhance the objectivity and productivity in DDH diagnosis.

본 연구는 사슴의 조기 임신진단기법을 개발하기 위해 엘크 61두를 발정동기화 처리하고 인공수정하여 수정 후 20~24일에 38두의 혈액을 채취하여 혈청을 분리한 후 혈중 progesterone(P$_4$) 농도를 분석하였다. 혈중 P$_4$ 농도의 분석은 Walac Delpia 123(Delpia Co, Holland)을 이용하여 progesterone kit(Delpia, Co. 미국)로 분석하였으며, 임신진단의 정확도를 비교하기 위하여 수정 후 60일령에 직장검사와 초음파진단을 실시하였다.Table 1은 음파진단, 직장검사 및 P$_4$분석에 의한 임신진단 결과를 나타내었다. 진단방법에 따른 수태율은 초음파진단 72.1%, 직장검사 60.7%, P$_4$ 농도분석 68.9%, 초음파진단과 직장검사에서 동시 임신으로 판정된 것은 57.4%를 각각 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 사슴은 임신초기에 태아사멸이 많이 발생하는 것으로 추정되며, 임신진단기법 개발을 위해서는 지속적인 연구가 추진되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

산업기술의 발전은 자연현상에서 발생되는 다양한 형태의 아날로그 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환할 수 있게 되었으나, 자연현상의 신호는 그 정보량이 상당할 뿐만 아니라 디지털 신호로 변환하는 과정에서 발생되는 계통오차 및 동역학적 노이즈 등이 포함되어 있어 신호 해석에 많은 어려움이 있다. 최근 유량조사 분야에서도 최첨단 유량측정 기술인 초음파 유량계 설치를 통하여 기존의 유량조사 방법으로 불가능했던 감조하천과 대하천에서의 실시간 유량자료를 생산하고 있으며, 이에 근거하여 홍수예보 및 하천관리 업무에 효과적으로 활용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 유량계가 설치된 여주지점의 2009년도 자동유량측정성과 중 동역학적 노이즈이라 판단되는 신호에 대하여 노이즈저감에 관한 방법론을 검토하고자 한다. 이를 위해 노이즈저감과 시간과 주파수 영역에서 유연한 분해능을 갖는 웨이블릿 변환을 적용하였으며 다양한 웨이블릿 변환함수 중 'db4'를 이용하였다. 여주지점의 자동유량측정성과에 대한 웨이블릿 변환함수 'db4'를 적용한 결과, 30분 이하의 단주기 성분(D1 등)은 동역학적 노이즈으로 판단되었으며, 최종파형분해단계의 근사성분은 원자료에 근사한 결과값을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 최종 분해된 자료는 충주조정지댐 방류량과의 상 하류 유출량 분석과 유출률 분석에서 물리적으로 해석이 가능한 결과 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

A four-year old, female Miniature Pinscher was presented with intermittent coughing. Thoracic radiography and ultrasonography revealed the consolidation of left cranial lung lobe surrounded by pleural effusion and the extraction of left lung lobe was performed through thoracotomy. This case has the clinical significance because lung lobe torsion was diagnosed by non-cardiac ultrasonographic examination, therefore surgical correction was performed without delay and led good outcome. Moreover, the authors believe the present case was the first report on lung lobe torsion in Miniature Pinscher dog.

Breast cancer is one of the top three most common cancers in modern women, and the incidence rate is increasing rapidly. Breast cancer has a high family history and a mortality rate of about 15%, making it a high-risk group. Therefore, breast cancer needs constant management after an early examination. Among the various equipment that can diagnose cancer, ultrasound has the advantage of low risk and being able to diagnose in real time. In addition, breast ultrasound will be more useful because Asian women's breasts are denser and less sensitive. However, the results of ultrasound examinations vary greatly depending on the technology of the examiner. To compensate for this, we intend to incorporate motion tracking technology. Motion tracking is a technology that specifies and analyzes a location according to the movement of an object in a three-dimensional space. Therefore, real-time control is possible, and complex and fast movements can be recorded in real time. We would like to present the production of an ultrasound examination guide using these advantages.

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) before hip fracture by duplex color Doppler ultrasonography. Materials and Methods: From June 2013 to May 2014, 27 patients who had agreed to perform color Doppler ultrasonography before hip fracture surgery were evaluated for the incidence of DVT. Patients who had history of DVT were excluded. Five patients were men and 19 patients were women. The mean age was 74.3 years old (41-87). There were 15 cases of femoral neck fracture, 11 cases of intertrochanteric fractures and one case of acetabular fracture. Surgical intervention underwent within 48 hours from admission and duplex color Doppler ultrasonography was carried out at the day of admission. Results: DVT occurred in six cases (22.2%). Four cases (14.8%) occurred in proximal deep vein and two cases (7.4%) occurred in distal deep vein. The mean period of immobilization was longer in patients who had DVT. But there was no significant difference. The mean age was 79 years old (75-87) in patients who had DVT and 72 years old (65-86) in patients who had not. There was significant difference (p=0.038). Conclusion: The incidence of DVT which was diagnosed by duplex color Doppler ultrasonography before hip fracture surgery was relatively high (22.2%). So it is necessary to undergo duplex color Doppler ultrasonography more aggressively to rule out DVT before hip fracture surgery.

This study attempted to examine a method of anti-freezing on a plate-type heat exchanger in a low-temperature environment. Freezing condition was observed after ultrasonic waves were generated. Data were recorded to determine the optimal conditions for freezing. Ethylene glycol, which is commonly used in antifreeze formulations, was used as the brine, and the temperature was varied between -8 and $-16^{\circ}C$. The water for freezing provided by the thickness of 1-3 mm. In addition, experiments were conducted by adjusting the output to identify the changes that occurred due to the incidence of ultrasonic energy. The results of the anti-freezing effect were brine temperature, freezing thickness, and frequency band of ultrasonic waves.

Penetrating injury and retained foreign substances in human body are the main causes of visiting to the emergency room. In hand, foreign substances are caused by trauma. The most common plant pieces, the glass fragments and metal fragments should occur in the order. Especially, it's hard to find fragments of plants and plastic materials because of their radiolucency. And although these fragments are removed, it's difficult to differentiated clearly whether residual foreign bodies are in human hand or not. This study reports the authors' experience in the treatment of a patient from whom he removed a residual tree thorn in the operating room. The thorn was found 4 weeks after the trauma by ultrasonography and then the patients' symptoms were improved.

이 논문은 접은 도체박판의 단순한 구조가 전자유도형 변환기 역할을 한다는 것을 기술하고 있다. Endoh 등은 볼록한 나선코일과 동박판으로 구성된 볼록한 방사면 모양을 한 전자유도형 변환기가 시간적으로 짧은 충격파를 발생할 수 있기 때문에 뚜렷한 초음파 영상을 얻을 목적으로 Eisenmenger에 이어 전자유도형 EMAT를 보고한 바 있다. 여기서는 코일이 없는 EMAT를 소개한다. 이것은 두께 0.05mm, 폭 5cm 길이 임의의 동박판으로 구성되며 동박판은 절연도료를 칠한 종이로 절연되고 접어서 견고하게 밀착시키며, 여러번 접는 경우는 손부채처럼 접는 방향은 교대로 반대방향으로 접는다. 그리고는 엷은 고무판을 표면에 밀착시키고 연변을 실리콘 충전제등으로 고정시키거나, polyester molding을 하여 표면을 concave형으로 하여 완성하였다. 완성된 EMAT들은 수조에서 축전기방전방식으로 실험을 하였으나 EMAT에서 발생되는 으파의 진폭은 접는 회수에 비례하였으녀, 단접형 EMAT보다 다접형 EMAT의 발생음파가 보다 강력하였다. Concave형 EMAT의 음속은 예견한 바와 같이 잘 집속되었다. 그러나 평판형의 경우는 지향성은 100도로서 넓은 지향각을 나타내었다. 2μF, 600Volt의 축전기 방전에 의한 집속형 concave EMAT를 여기시키기 위한 축전기의 용량이 작을수록 대역폭은 더욱 넓었다.
