In this paper, we propose a new 3-D deinterlacing algorithm based on wide sparse vector correlations and a vertical edge based motion detection algorithm. which is an extension of the deinterlacing algorithm proposed in [10. llJ by the authors. The prooised algorithm is developed mainly for the format conversion problem encountered in current HDTV system, but can also be aplicable to the double scan conversion problesm frequently encountered in ths NTSC systems. By exploiting the edge oriented spatial interpolation based on the wide vector correlations, visually annoying artifiacts caused by interlacing such as a serrate line. line crawling, a line flicker, and a large area flicker can be remarkably reduced since the use of the wide vectors increases the range of the edge orientations that can be detected, and by exploiting sparse vectors correlations the HjW complexity for realizing the algorithm in applications cam be significantly simplified. Simulations are provided indicating thet the proposed algorithm results in a high performance comparable to the performance of the deinterlacing algorithm. based on the wide vector correlations.

Most of intradural epidermoid cyst arise as slowly growing extraaxial lesions but purely intracerebral epidermoid cysts are rare. A 39-year-old female presented with a headache during several months. Brain computed tomography [CT] scan showed a mass lesion in the both frontal lobe with heterogenous density approximately $5{\times}5cm$ in size. Magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] revealed a mass of heterogenous signal intensity on T1, T2-weighted image and faint enhancement with gadolinium [Gd]. Through the both interhemispheric approach, mass was removed subtotally except the calcified portion tightly attached to the corpus callosum. The patient discharged without neurological deficit. The authors report a case of epidermoid cyst in the corpus callosum and discuss the pathogenesis of the intraparenchymal epidermoid cyst.

A 19-year-old man was referred to Seoul National University Dental Hospital for evaluation of a large painless swelling of the left mandibular angle area in August, 1999. The growth had been first noted 6 years ago. He had visited other hospital in 1997. In spite of the treatment given at the hospital, the mass continued to grow rapidly. Conventional radiographs in 1999 showed an expansile, lobulated, and destructive lesion of the left mandibular body. CT scan demonstrated an expansile mass with a corticated margin. Bony septa were seen within the lesion. Internal calcification noted on the bone-setting CT image, and corresponded to the hypointense area in T1-weighted MRI image. MRI clearly delineated the extent of the lesion which had heterogenous intermediate signal intensity in T1-weighted images and heterogenous hyperintense signal intensity in T2-weighted images. The lesion was well-enhanced. Histopathologically, the lesion was well demarcated. Multinucleated giant cells were presented in a fibrous background, demonstrating a storiform pattern. Areas of osteoid rimmed by a few osteoblasts were scattered throughout the lesion. Inflammatory cells, blood vessels, and hemosiderin deposition were also shown. CGCG may show lots of internal calcification foci on the CT, and varied signal intensity in MRI. More cases will be needed to understand the features of the CT & MR finding of CGCG.

A reflective array type surface acoustic wave(SAW) dispersive delay line(DDL) with high time-bandwidth at the V/UHF-band is designed and fabricated for compressive receiver applications. This type of the SAW DDL has the properties of the relative bandwidth of 20 %, the time delay of 49.89 usec, the insertion loss of 38.5 dB and the side lobe rejection of 39 dB. In comparison with a commercial SAW DDL, the insertion loss, amplitude ripple and side lobe rejection are improved by $1.5dB{\pm}0.6dB$ and 4 dB respectively. Using the fabricated SAW DDL, the prototype of the compressive receiver is developed. It is composed of RF converter, fast tunable LO, chirp LO, A/D converter, signal processing unit and control unit. This prototype system shows a fine frequency resolution of below 30 kHz with high scan rate.

In this paper, multi pulse excited-linear predictive coding (MPE-LPC), where the correlation eliminated residual signal is modeled by a few pules, is shown to be effective for the compression of electrocardiogram (ECG) data, and a more efficient scheme for a faithful reconstruction of ECG is proposed. The reconstruction charateristic of QRS's and P.T waves is improved using the adaptive pulse allocation (APA), and the compression ratio (CR) can be changed by controlling the mumber of modeling pulses. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated using 10 normal and 10 abnormal ECG data. The proposed method had a better performance than the variable threshold amplitude zone time epoch coding (AZTEC) algorithm and the scan-along polygonal approximation (SAPA) algorithm with the same CR. With the CR in kthe range of 8:1 to 14:1, we could compress ECG data efficiently.

The traditional method to construct Geographic Information System (GIS) is to scan the published maps, then the important and difficult step is to digitize the maps data. It costs a lot of time and human resource. Because a Global Positioning System (GPS) can offer high accurate digital signal directly, we developed a new method that uses the GPS to construct the GIS.

The main factors of radar signals used in electronic warfare are Radio Frequency(RF), Pulse Repetition Interval(PRI), Pulse Width(PW), Scan Parameter(SP) and so on. This radar signals may have some important information for the electronic warfare. So, there is a necessity for making a threat database to decide whether the radar signal is a threat or not. When the electronic support system collects some threat radar signals, it needs the search band to control the receivers and filter banks of the system. In this paper we propose search band implementation considering the type and center frequency of the receivers of the electronic support system.

Objectives : MR fluid-attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR) image uses paired long inversion time and relaxation time that nulls the signal from CSF. With nulling of the CSF long echo time readout could be used to increase T2-weighting, hence improving the conspicuousness of most tissue lesions without the deleterious effects of CSF artifact seen on T2 weighted sequence. We examed the usefulness of FALIR image in the diagnosis of mild head injury. Methods : A total of 38 patients with mild head injury were examined by FLAIR image. We compared those images with CT scan and T1, T2-weighted images. Careful observation of MR images were done by two well-trained neuroradiologists. Each image was compared for conspicuousness and detectability of traumatic lesions might have shown abnormal signal intensities. The Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used for statistical evaluation. Results : The FLAIR image was significantly more sensitive than those of other images(p<0.001). T2 FFE(Fast Field Echo) image was more useful for detection of small petechial hemorrhages. Conclusion : FLAIR image is considered to be more sensitive than those of conventional MR images in the evaluation of mild head injuries.

목적 : 초고속 Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) 의 데이터 측정시간을 반으로 단축시킨 half courier EPI와 임상에서 널리 사용하는 $T_2$ 강조 영상을 결합한 $T_2$-weighted half courier EPI(T2HEPl) 영상기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법으로 강한 $T_2$ 대조도를 갖는 $128{\times}128$의 고해상도 EPI 영상을 single scan으로 얻고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 초고속 EPI 기법의 데이터 측정시간을 줄이기 위하여 k-space의 절반만을 측정하고, 나머지 절반은 conjugate symmetry 성질을 이용하여 재구성한다. 따라서 64개의 에코로 $128{\times}128$의 고해상도 single shot 영상을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 k-space 데이터의 순서를 시간 축에서 조절하여 강한 $T_2$ 대조도를 갖는 영상을 얻을 수 있다 Eddy current의 영향으로 phase encoding 방향으로 잔류 경사자계가 있을 경우 측정된 데이터들은 k-space에서 이동이 되며 , 이것은 재구성 영상에 심각한 문제점을 초래하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 pre-scan에서 얻은 기준 데이터와 dc에 해당하는 에코간의 상관도를 측정하여 이동을 추정하며, 초기의 phase encoding gradient의 크기를 조정하여 이러한 이동을 제거한다. 결과 : 제안한 $T_2$-weighted half courier EPI 영상기법을 1.0 Tesla 전신 MRI 시스템에 적용하였다. 실험 조건은 single shot으로 TR은 무한대이고, TE는 72ms와 96ms로 설정하였다. 제안한 영상기법을 이용하여 single scan으로 강한 $T_2$ 대조도를 갖는 128x128의 고해상도 EPI 영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 결론 : 제안한 Half Fourier기법을 이용하여 기존의 $64{\times}64$ 영상보다 해상도를 높인 $128{\times}128$ EPI영상을 single scan으로 얻을수 있었으며, 에코의 적절한 배치를 통해 임상에서 널리 사용되는 $T_2$ 대조도를 얻을 수 있었다. 제안한 방법은 특별한 하드웨어의 추가 없이, 펄스 시퀀스와 tuning 및 재구성 알고리즘 등의 소프트웨어적인 방법만으로 구현이 가능하여 많은 임상 응용이 기대된다.
