There is no exact standard of detecting pulmonary tuberculosis(TB) in digital image of simple chest radiography. In this study, I experimented on the principal components analysis(PCA) algorithm in the past and suggested six other parameters as identification of TB lesions. The purpose of this study was to develop and test computer aided diagnosis(detection) method for the detection and measurement of pulmonary abnormalities on digital chest radiography. It showed comparatively low recognition diagnosis rate using PCA method, however, six kinds of texture features parameters algorithm showed similar or higher diagnosis rates of pulmonary disease than that of the clinical radiologists. Proposed algorithms using computer-aided of texture analysis can distinguish between areas of abnormality in the chest digital images, differentiate lesions having pulmonary disease. The method could be useful tool for classifying and measuring chest lesions, it would play a major role in radiologist's diagnosis of disease so as to help in pre-reading diagnosis and prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Thyroid nodular disease is the most frequently appeared in thyroid disease. Thyroid ultrasonography offers location of nodules, size, the number, information of internal echo characteristic. Thus, it makes possible to sort high-risk nodule containing high possibility about thyroid cancer and to induct precisely when take a Fine Needle Biopsy Aspiration. On thyroid nodule, the case which is diagnosed as malignant is less than 5% but screening test is very important on ultrasound and also must be reduced unnecessary procedure. Therefore, in this study an approach for describing a region is to quantity its texture content. We applied TFA algorithm on case which has been pathologically diagnosed as papillary thyroid cancer. we obtained experiment image which set the ROI on ultrasound and cut the $50{\times}50$ pixel size, histogram equalization. Consequently, Disease recognition detection efficiency of GLavg, SKEW, UN, ENT parameter were high as 91~100%. It is suggestion about possibility on CAD which distinguishes thyroid nodule. In addition, it will be helpful to differential diagnosis of thyroid nodule. If the study on additional parameter algorithm is continuously progressed from now on, it is able to arrange practical base on CAD and it is possible to apply various disease in the thyroid US.

의료기기들 중 기능 영상을 보기 위해 이용되는 PET 장치에서 획득된 결과 영상은 선명하지 않기 때문에, 해부학적 구조와 기능 영상을 동시에 보기 위해서는 선명한 영상을 제공하는 CT 와 PET 장치와 하나로 통합하여 영상을 획득하게 되었다. 그래서 한번의 촬영으로 PET/CT 영상을 얻을 수 있게 된 것이다. 서로 다른 특성을 갖는 이미지를 융합하게 되면 보다 정확한 진단을 내리는데 많은 도움을 준다. 본 논문은 CT 영상에서 폐 영역을 반 자동(Semi-Auto)으로 분리한 후 PET 영상에 자동으로 융합하는 방법을 제안한다. 반 자동 폐 영역 분할을 위해 1 차원 신호 처리 기법과 Seeded Region Growing 기법을 사용한다. 수행된 폐 분리 결과는 몸의 해부학적 구조를 보기 위해 사용되는 CT 영상에서 추출한 폐 영역을 기능을 보기 위한 PET 영상에 퓨전 함으로서 진단 전문가가 보다 정확한 진단을 하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 또한 이러한 기능을 쉽게 구현하고 사용할 수 있도록 시각 프로그래밍 기법을 접목하였다.

Development of an objective diagnosis index for diagnosing a the beginning nature of a disease is the most one of tongue diagnosis in the oriental medicine. However, previous systems have a difficult problem in the creation of objective diagnosis index, and focused on the expert system that can diagnose automatically without an oriental doctor behavior. Therefore, computerized assistant diagnosis software for calculating an optimized diagnosis index is proposed in this paper. This software is operated by the diagnosing behavior of oriental doctor. As developed software is a semi-automatic system, manual method is used to segment a tongue body. Futhermore, numerical diagnosis indices including the color information of non-tongue coating and tongue coating, WTCI are provided to oriental doctor automatically and real-timely. Also, probability estimation value for classifying no coating, thin coating, and thick coating is presented by using the tongue coating area ratio, and EMR chart can use for convenience of diagnosis. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the our developed software, after building a various tongue image from 60 subjects, we experimented on diagnosis image with our software. As a result, the developed software showed the 95% use-effectiveness of subjects.

Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver disease characterized by replacement of liver tissue by fibrosis, scar tissue and regenerative nodules leading to loss of liver function. Liver Cirrhosis is most commonly caused by alcoholism, hepatitis B and C, and fatty liver disease, but has many other possible causes. Some cases are idiopathic disease from unknown cause. Abdomen of liver Computed tomography(CT) is one of the primary imaging procedures for evaluating liver disease such as liver cirrhosis, Alcoholic liver disease(ALD), cancer, and interval changes because it is economical and easy to use. The purpose of this study is to detect technique for computer-aided diagnosis(CAD) to identify liver cirrhosis in abdomen CT. We experimented on the principal components analysis(PCA) algorithm in the other method and suggested texture information analysis(TIA). Forty clinical cases involving a total of 634 CT sectional images were used in this study. Liver cirrhosis was detected by PCA method(detection rate of 35%), and by TIA methods(detection rate of 100%-AGI, TM, MU, EN). Our present results show that our method can be regarded as a technique for CAD systems to detect liver cirrhosis in CT liver images.

컴퓨터 시스템이 복잡해짐에 따라 결함이 발생할 경우 관리자가 직접 결함을 진단하고 처리하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점에 대한 해결책으로 결함 진단 기법을 사용한 시스템 관리 기능을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템 관리 기능은 소프트웨어 기법을 사용하여 시스템 동작 중 발생한 결함의 증상을 분석, 진단함으로써 결함에 대한 해결방안을 자동적으로 관리자에게 제시할 수 있는 능력을 구비하고 있다. 클라이언트-서버 구조로 구현되 시스템 관리 기능은 소프트웨어 기법을 활용하기 때문에 추가적인 비용이 소요되지 않고도 기존 컴퓨터 시스템의 결함 관리 서비스에 활용될 수 있다.

In the recent years, studies using Computer-Aided Diagnostics(CAD) have been actively conducted, such as signal and image processing technology using breast ultrasound images, automatic image optimization technology, and automatic detection and classification of breast masses. As computer diagnostic technology is developed, it is expected that early detection of cancer will proceed accurately and quickly, reducing health insurance and test ice for patients, and eliminating anxiety about biopsy. In this paper, a quantitative analysis of tumors was conducted in ultrasound images using a gray level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM) to experiment with the possibility of use for computer assistance diagnosis.

Recently, the number of hip dysplasia (DDH) that occurs during infant and child growth has been increasing. DDH should be detected and treated as early as possible because it hinders infant growth and causes many other side effects In this study, two modelling techniques were used for multiple training techniques. Based on the results after the first transformation, the training was designed to be possible even with a small amount of data. The vertical flip, rotation, width and height shift functions were used to improve the efficiency of the model. Adam optimization was applied for parameter learning with the learning parameter initially set at 2.0 x 10e-4. Training was stopped when the validation loss was at the minimum. respectively A novel image overlay system using 3D laser scanner and a non-rigid registration method is implemented and its accuracy is evaluated. By using the proposed system, we successfully related the preoperative images with an open organ in the operating room

무선 센서들의 진보에 따라 환자의 상태를 모니터링 하거나 정보를 저장 후 원거리에 있는 의사들의 진단 제공이 가능하게 되었다. 하지만 환자의 데이터의 양에 비해 의사의 수가 적으므로 환자가 진단을 제공 받는데 시간적인 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 환자의 상태를 1 차적으로 자동 진단하는 시스템을 제안한다. 전체 데이터의 적용을 위해 Circadian rhythm에 기반한 데이터 직접방법을 제안하고 데이터를 효율적으로 분류하기 위해 PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization)을 기반으로 하는 분류화 알고리즘을 적용하여 시스템의 수행속도 향상을 도모하였다.
