The aim of this report is to compare quantitatively computed radiography (CR) and screen-film radiography (SFR) in the detection of peritoneal effusion in dogs. Normal four beagle dogs and one Maltese dog were used. Each five CR and SFR abdominal images of right lateral and ventro-dorsal position were obtained after lodge of 6 ml, 8 ml, 12 ml, 15 ml, and 18 ml of normal saline by intraperitoneal injection within the abdomen. The reviewers were asked to evaluate each SFR and CR images for the presence of peritoneal effusion using the score by the presence of a peritoneal effusion on a five-point ordinal scale. A receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis compared the two imaging modalities. The present study showed that there was no statistical difference between SFR and CR in the detecting peritoneal effusion, but CR was relatively more sensitive based on the increased area under its ROC analysis. Moreover, Readers were more likely to detect peritoneal effusion on CR images than SFR.

Purpose: The kappa angles of human eye were measured by photographs. The relationship between the dominant eye and far refractivity is studied. Methods: 112 adults participated in this study. The mean age was $22.54{\pm}5.90$ years. The kappa angles were measured by the deviation of the flash image in the photographs of eye. the dominant eye and the far refractivity were analyzed. Results: The distributions of kappa angles were 78.6% (176 eyes) in the positive angle, 15.2% (34 eyes) in the negative angle, and 6.2% (14 eyes) in the $0^{\circ}$. The kappa angles were $4.50{\pm}4.70^{\circ}$ for the dominant eye, $4.93{\pm}4.34^{\circ}$ for the non-dominant eye, $+6.00{\pm}2.22^{\circ}$ for the hypermetropia, $4.91{\pm}4.97^{\circ}$ for the emmetropia, and $+4.61{\pm}4.49^{\circ}$ for the myopia. The biggest kappa angles was odserved in the hypermetropia and the angles was getting smaller in the emmetropia, and the myopia. Conclusions: The kappa angle of the dominant eye was smaller than non-dominant eye. The kappa angle was smaller as the far refractivity is lower. The kappa angle can be directly measured by the photographic method.

Introduction : The projection method to check existence and nonexistence of radius groove penetration of screw after distal radius fracture operation clinical using the T-type plate and the radiation of radial groove tangential is to propose a new test. Material and Methods : On the tangential projection view of radius groove, elevation angle of distal radius is 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 degree. and forearm and radiation detector of angle is 60, 70, 80, degree each changed. that analyzed check existence and nonexistence of radius groove penetration of screw. Results : For the image of Radial groove tangential. the case of not radius groove penetration of screw(63.95%, n=55), medial penetration of radius groove(10.47%, n=9) or lateral penetration of radius groove(25.58%, n=22) was analysis. The radius groove penetrating of screw length was a range of 0.43 ~ 2.72mm, the average was 1.06mm. the check existence and nonexistence of radius groove penetration of medial or lateral was analysis that it accurate for the image of Radial groove tangential. the radiography of radial groove is well described elevation angle of distal radius 2.5 to 7.5 degree(90% over), forearm and radiation detector of angle 70degree(80%over) Conclusion : It is elevation angle of distal radius is 5degree, forearm and radiation detector of angle 70degree recommended.

This study is to calculate the proper angle for the optimal image of PNS Water's view on children, comparing and analyzing the PNS Water's projection angles between children and adults at every age. This study randomly selected 50 patients who visited the Medical Center from January to May in 2005, and examined the incidence path of central ray, taking a PNS Water's and skull trans-Lat. view in Water's filming position while attaching a lead ball mark on the Orbit, EAM, and acanthion of the patients's skull. And then, we calculated the incidence angles(Angle A) of the line connected from OML and the petrous ridge to the inferior margin of maxilla on general(random) patients's skull image, following the incidence path of central ray. Finally, we analyzed two pieces of the graphs at ages, developing out the patients' ideal images at PNS Water's filming position taken by a digital camera, and calculating the angle(Angle B) between OML and IP(Image Plate). The angle between OML and IP is about $43^{\circ} in 4-years-old children, which is higher than $37^{\circ}, as age increases the angle decreases, it goes to $37^{\circ} around 30 years of age. That is similar result to maxillary growth period. We can get better quality of Water's image for children when taking the PNS Water's view if we change the projection angles, considering maxillary growth for patients in every age stage.

Due to the recent rise of a need for 3 dimensional geospatial information on urban areas, general interest in aerial multi-view cameras has been on an increase. The conventional geospatial information system depends solely upon vertical images, while the multi-view camera is capable of taking both vertical and oblique images taken from multiple directions, thus making it easier for the user to interpret the object. Through our research we developed a prototype of a multi-view camera system that includes a camera system, GPS/INS, a flight management system, and a control system. We also studied and experimented with the camera viewing angles, the synchronization of image capture, the exposure delay, the data storage that must be considered for the development of the multi-view camera system.

위 X선 검사에 많이 사용되고 있는 방법은 충만법, 2중조영법, 압박법, 점막법, 유동법이 있으며, 검사목적에 따라 각 방법을 조합하여 실시하고 있다. 따라서 각 검사법의 장 단점과 촬영체위에 따르는 위의 묘출영역을 알아둘 필요가 있다. 이것을 이해하기 위해서는 위의 해부학적 위치관계를 알고 있어야 한다. 또한 입위(선자세)와 와위(누운자세), 체위변환을 할 때에 위의 형태가 변화되는 것을 알아야 하며, 더욱 위의 형태는 개인에 따라 심한 차이가 있어 임기응변으로 대응을 할 수 있는 능력이 있어야한다. 따라서 위 X선검사를 잘 하기 위해서는 일반촬영과 달라서 병리해부학적인 성상을 잘 알고 검사에 대응해야 하며, 위 X선검사는 지속적인 연수와 훈련이 필요한 촬영법이다.

차량을 포함하는 임의의 영상에서 번호판 추출은 다양한 조명조건 및 배경, 촬영 각도, 번호판 종류 등의 요인으로 인해 고도의 영상처리 과정을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 실제 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 이러한 요인들에 대해 강건한 번호판 추출 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 입력영상의 RGB 성분들을 색상성분과 영암성분으로 분리할 수 있는 칼라모델 HSI로 변환하고 H(hue)와 S(saturation)성분을 이용하여 번호판의 배경색상을 고려한 칼라 퍼지지도를 구성한다. 또한, I(intensity)성분을 이용하여 에지밀도를 추출하고 에지밀도 지도에 기반한 영역분리 퍼지지도를 생성한다. 마지막으로, 후보영역 탐색을 위해 칼라 퍼지지도와 영역분리 퍼지지도를 결합하고, 연결성분 해석(Connected Component Analysis)을 통해 ROI(Region Of Interest)를 추출한다. 제안하는 방법의 유효성 검증을 위해 조명 및 촬영 각도에 제한을 거의 두지 않고 촬영된 차량 영상 410장을 실험 영상으로 사용하였다. 실험 결과에서는 $97.1\%$의 효과적인 추출 성공률을 볼 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the K-edge images using a spectral CT system based on a photon-counting detector and implement the 3D fusion imaging using the conventional and spectral CT images. Also, we evaluated the clinical feasibility of the 3D fusion images though the quantitative analysis of image quality. A spectral CT system based on a CdTe photon-counting detector was used to obtain K-edge images. A pork phantom was manufactured with the six tubes including diluted iodine and gadolinium solutions. The K-edge images were obtained by the low-energy thresholds of 35 and 52 keV for iodine and gadolinium imaging with the X-ray spectrum, which was generated at a tube voltage of 100 kVp with a tube current of $500{\mu}A$. We implemented 3D fusion imaging by combining the iodine and gadolinium K-edge images with the conventional CT images. The results showed that the CNRs of the 3D fusion images were 6.76-14.9 times higher than those of the conventional CT images. Also, the 3D fusion images was able to provide the maps of target materials. Therefore, the technique proposed in this study can improve the quality of CT images and the diagnostic efficiency through the additional information of target materials.
