We checked the existence of bacteria at DR equipment, radiation generator and cassette in 'D university' to propose optimized management method for bacteria and disinfection at DR equipment, radiation generator and cassette at used in radiographic laboratory of the department of radiology. The infected region is treated by alcohol and cresol and compared before spraying and after spraying for 1, 3, 5 and 10 minutes. As time goes on, amount of bacteria colony decreases significantly. The Cresol is useful to disinfect the diminutive devices. However alcohol disinfection, at least 5 minutes later, and hand washing before practical training and shooting image is recommended due to the big and fixed radiography equipment which cause the soakage.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent complication of diabetes that can lead to vision impairment if not diagnosed and treated promptly. This study presents a novel approach for the automated grading of diabetic retinopathy in ultra-widefield fundus images (UFI) using deep learning techniques. We propose a method that involves preprocessing UFIs by cropping the central region to focus on the most relevant information. Subsequently, we employ state-of-the-art deep learning models, including ResNet50, EfficientNetB3, and Xception, to perform DR grade classification. Our extensive experiments reveal that Xception outperforms the other models in terms of classification accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. his research contributes to the development of automated tools that can assist healthcare professionals in early DR detection and management, thereby reducing the risk of vision loss among diabetic patients.

디지털 방사선 영상은 첨가되는 잡음에 의해 영상이 흐려지고, 시스템 특성에 의해 왜곡된 영상을 얻게 된다. 이런 현상들은 보고자하는 영상의 본질을 보기 어렵게 한다. 왜곡된 영상을 복구하기 위해 웨이블릿 영역에서 다해상도 위너필터를 적용하였다. 다해상도 위너필터는 시스템 임펄스 응답과 잡음에 의해 변형된 프랙탈 신호의 복원을 위하여 Chen이 최초로 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 Chen이 제안한 다해상도 위너필터를 2차원 영상 데이터에 대하여 적용하였다. 다해상도 위너필터와 다른 방법의 성능을 비교하기 위하여, 두 종류의 웨이블릿 필터들에 대하여 시스템 임펄스 응답과 잡음 전력의 특성에 따라 실험을 하였다. 첨가된 잡음 전력이 20-32 dB 일 때, 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 신호 대 잡음비는 기존의 위너필터에 비해 0.5-2.0 dB 더 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Digital radiography (DR) is being developed for numerous applications in medical imaging. For understanding DR image, it is necessary to comprehend DR responses to X-ray in terms of absorbed energy. This study reports on the relationship of absorbed energy in the scintillator vs. pixel value of detector. Pixel value and exposure were measured from 50 kVp to 120 kVp until the detector was saturated. For representing radiation produced at the X-ray tube, we used program Srs-78 and compared experimental exposure with calculated exposure. Absorbed energy was acquired using spectrum and we got the relation between the two values.

Purpose : Automatic exposure system(AOP mode) in DR Mammography of the STD and DOSE apply to women of childbearing age, the average glandular dose(AGD) and image quality by comparing was to demonstrate the usefulness of DOSE. Materials and Methods : Of the under 40 age 108 patients who visit to our hospital and examined STD and DOSE mammography from January 2008 to July 2013. AGD was obtained by DICOM header information provided by GE Senographe DS. STD and DOSE images were evaluated with obtained patients, Image J program was compared by calculating the SNR. Results : The average AGD of DOSE mode was 0.99mGy, and which decreased by 19% comparing to that of STD mode which was 1.18mGy. The two the average AGDs indicated statistically significant difference(p< .01). The average SNR of STD was 40.26, DOSE displayed, and to 39.68 in, there was no statistical significance. Results : The average AGD using DOSE mode which is one of DR mammography AOP modes decreased by comparing to that of STD mode showing no difference in image quality. The use of DOSE is considered to be useful.

Objective: The present study developed a user-centered 3D virtual liver surgery planning (VLSP) system called Dr. Liver to provide preoperative information for safe and rational surgery. Background: Preoperative 3D VLSP is needed for patients' safety in liver surgery. Existing systems either do not provide functions specialized for liver surgery planning or do not provide functions for cross-check of the accuracy of analysis results. Method: Use scenarios of Dr. Liver were developed through literature review, benchmarking, and interviews with surgeons. User interfaces of Dr. Liver with various user-friendly features (e.g., context-sensitive hotkey menu and 3D view navigation box) was designed. Novel image processing algorithms (e.g., hybrid semi-automatic algorithm for liver extraction and customized region growing algorithm for vessel extraction) were developed for accurate and efficient liver surgery planning. Usability problems of a preliminary version of Dr. Liver were identified by surgeons and system developers and then design changes were made to resolve the identified usability problems. Results: A usability testing showed that the revised version of Dr. Liver achieved a high level of satisfaction ($6.1{\pm}0.8$ out of 7) and an acceptable time efficiency ($26.7{\pm}0.9 min$) in liver surgery planning. Conclusion: Involvement of usability testing in system development process from the beginning is useful to identify potential usability problems to improve for shortening system development period and cost. Application: The development and evaluation process of Dr. Liver in this study can be referred in designing a user-centered system.

Purpose : We aim at presenting the optimum radiologic factor through the evaluation of dose variation and of image quality through the use of a grid in Humerus examination and the change of dose because of the change of radiologic factor. Materials and Methods : We divided it in 3 cases: when using a grid or not and when using IP(Image Plate) in a digital system. Also, as fixing kVp to 70kVp it changed mAs, and fixing mAs to 10 it changed kVp, we put up resolution chart and Burger rose phantom on the acrylic phantom of 7cm (the same level of Humerus) to evaluate the dose and image. We used Image J program to evaluate the quantitative resolution of the obtained image, and made the qualitative evaluation and statistical analysis of the image saved in PACS for 20 radiologic technologist with more than 10 years of experience in order of evaluate its contrast. We used SPSS10(SPSS Inc. Chicago, Illinois) for statistical analysis. Results : We observed the analytic result of resolution by the change of kVp that it was $4.539dGycm^2$ in 60kVp and $757.472dGycm^2$ in 75kVp, which increased about 64.6% of dose, while for the resolution it had the pixel value 30.7% better with 851 in 60kVp than 651 in 75kVp. Also, we analyzed the result of resolution by the change of mAs that it was $3.106dGycm^2$ in 5mAs, and $12.470dGycm^2$ in 20mAs, which increased about 400% of dose, while for the resolution DR had 678 in 5mAs, and 724 in 20mAs that increased about 6.8% of resolution. We made the qualitative evaluation of contrast by the change of kVp that DR showed the higher quality than CR, but the contrast by the change of kVp had no special different at the moment of visual evaluation, nor statistically significant difference(P>0.05). We observed the qualitative evaluation of contraste by the change of mAs that the contrast increased as DR increased mAs, and had statistically significant difference(P<0.05). On the other hand, CR had no significant difference for more than 10mAs nor statistically significant difference(P>0.05). Conclusion : In case of some patients with radiographic exposure by the repeated examination such as emergent patient or Follow up patient, they are considered to try to limit the use of a grid, to set kVp under 65kVp in fixed mode, to select less than 10mAs and to reduce the possibility of patient being bombed.

본 연구는 자동노출제어장치 사용 시 파라미터 조합에 따른 영상 화질과 방사선 출력을 분석하여 임상에 적용할 수 있는 최적의 방법을 모색하고자 하였다. 실험방법은 관전압 70, 81 kVp와 자동노출제어장치(Automatic Exposure Control, AEC)의 감도 S200, S400, S800, S1000을 조합해서 복부와 골반부의 입사표면선량, 관전류량, 신호 대 잡음비(Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR), 대조도 대 잡음비(Contrast to Noise Ratio, CNR), 시간-방사선량 곡선을 구하였다. 그 후 영상 화질과 출력의 안정성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 입사표면선량, 관전류량, 신호 대 잡음비, 대조도 대 잡음비는 관전압과 감도가 높게 설정될수록 감소하였다. 또한 관전압과 감도가 높게 설정될수록 시간-방사선량 곡선은 출력의 안정성이 줄어드는 양상을 보였다. 결론적으로 복부와 골반부 검사 시 관전압과 감도를 높게 조합할수록 검출기는 영상 화질과 방사선 출력을 정상적으로 재현해내지 못하였다. 따라서 비교적 낮은 관전압과 감도를 조합하여 검출기가 파라미터의 조합을 인식할 때 발생하는 오차 범위를 최소화해야 영상 화질과 방사선 출력의 안정성을 최적화할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
