This study aimed to determine whether there was a difference in measurements between North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial(NASCET) and Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease(WASID) methods that measure the middle cerebral artery stenosis in Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) and Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA). It involved 24 patients who had completed both DSA and MRA among patients with Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) stenosis. The Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) stenosis was measured using the NASCET and WASID methods through a retrospective analysis. For the NASCET and WASID methods, they performed measurements on normal blood vessels located far from and close to the stenosis, respectively. The mean value and standard deviation of the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) measured by the NASCET method were 59.23% and 13.27%. On the other hand, those of the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) measured by the WASID method were 66.64% and 12.47%. And, the mean value and standard deviation of the Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) measured by the NASCET method were 49.82% and 12.06%. By contrast, those of the Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) measured by the WASID method were 56.63% and 10.67%. All the p-values obtained by the Pearson and Spearman correlation tests in the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) and the Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) were <0.01. In conclusion, this study suggests that both the NASCET and WASID methods to measure the middle cerebral artery stenosis in the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) and the Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) can be used if they are not used interchangeably.

The progress of periodontal disease and the wound healing process after treatment result in alveolar bone bone change. So, detection of it is very important in the diagnosis and the radiograph of periodontal disease. Various effects have been made to assess the subtle alveolar bone change and digital subtraction radiography (DSR) has been reported to be the best method in evaluating it qualitatively and quantitatively. The present study was performed to estimate the detectable alveolar bone change qualitatively with digital subtraction radiography. For the in vitro study, 10 intraoral standard radiographs were taken from porcine dry mandible which a rectangular cortical bone chip of 0.1mm to 1.0mm thickness with 0.1mm increment was attached on the buccal surface. The radiographs without and with bone plates were reviewed at the same time by 10 observers and requested to detect the presence of cortical bone plates. Digital Subtraction radiograph was reviewed subsequently by using the DSR system(digital converter-256 grey-levels,DT 2851,Data Translation Co., U.S.A;IBM 386 ; CCD camera, FOTOVIX, Tamrom Co., Japan). The detectable thickness of cortical bone plate was O.4mm on the intraoral radiograph and 0.2mm on the subtaction images. For the human study, radiographs were taken from patients by using intraoral film holding device and aluminum reference wedge before and 3 month after bone graft and 1 week after osteoplasty. The grey level change was estimated in the subtraction images and calculated to aluminum equivalent thickness. The grey level of the grafted site was higher that that of healthy controls. Average grey levels of change on healthy controls were O.48mm aluminum equivalent. However, the amount of changes in grafted sites were 1.87mm aluminum thickness equivalent and in the site of osteoplasty were -1.49mm aluminum thickness equivalent. In conclusion, digital subtraction radiography was more effective in detecting as subtle change of alveolar bone than intraoral standard radiography. With the aid of quantitative analysis of digital subtraction radiography, alveolar bone resorption of apposition can be estimated during diagnosis and treatment of periodontally diseased patients.

Purpose: To compare the standard deviation of gray levels on digital subtracted images obtained by different dental subtraction programs. Materials and Methods: Paired periapical films were taken at the lower premolar and molar areas of the phantoms involving human mandible. The bite registration group used Rinn XCP equipment and bite registration material, based on polyvinyl siloxane, for standardization. The no bite registration group used only Rinn XCP equipment. The periapical film images were digitized at 1200 dpi resolution and 256 gray levels by a flat bed scanner with transparency unit. Dental digital subtraction programs used for this study were Subtractor (Biomedisys Co., Korea) and Emago (Oral Diagnostic Systems, The Netherlands). To measure the similarities between the subtracted images, the standard deviations of the gray levels were obtained using a histogram of subtracted images, which were then analyzed statistically. Results: Subtracted images obtained by using the Emago program without manual selection of corresponding points showed the lowest standard deviation of gray levels (p<0.01). And the standard deviation of gray levels was lower in subtracted images in the group of a bite registration than in the group of no use of bite registration (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Digital radiographic subtraction without manual selection of reference points was found to be a convenient and superior method.

이 연구는 뇌동맥자루의 임상적 진단에 사용되는 3차원 디지털 혈관조영술과 3차원 디지털 감산 혈관조영술을 동일 부위에 시행한 환자 53명의 영상에서 뇌동맥자루 경부 직경, 최대 직경, 최대 면적 및 체적을 측정하고, 각 검사법의 영상 노이즈와 피폭선량을 분석하여 뇌동맥자루 진단검사에서의 임상적 진단 차이를 비교하였다. 3차원 디지털 혈관조영술과 3차원 디지털 감산 혈관조영술에서 뇌동맥자루의 경부직경, 최대직경, 최대면적, 체적, 노이즈를 비교한 결과가 일치하거나 아주 미세한 차이로 나타났다. 하지만, 방사선피폭선량은 3차원 디지털 감산 혈관조영술에 비하여 3차원 디지털 혈관조영술이 현저히 낮게 발생하였다. 따라서 뇌동맥자루의 임상적 진단을 목적으로 시행하는 경우에는 환자의 피폭선량을 감소를 위해 3차원 디지털 혈관조영술이 우선적으로 사용되어야 할 것이다.

본 논문은 조영 영상에서 유동적인 배경의 텍스쳐 분석을 통한 DSA(Digital subtraction Angiography: 디지털 혈관조영술)기반의 관상동맥 검출방법에 대해 기술한다. DSA 방법은 조영제를 투입하기 전에 촬영된 마스크 영상과 조영제 투입 후의 혈관 대비가 나타나는 라이브 영상과의 차이를 이용하여 빠르게 혈관 영역만을 검출하는 방법이다. 이 방법의 큰 단점은 배경의 움직임에 민감하고, 두 영상간의 지역적인 배경 명암 분포의 변화에 따라 오검출이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배경 텍스쳐의 유사도를 분석하여 움직임의 차이가 가장 작은 영상을 선택함으로써 배경의 움직임으로 인한 구조적인 문제를 해결하고, 선택된 영상의 지역적 명암 보정을 통해 혈관 영역만을 효과적으로 추출할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과에서는 성능 평가를 위하여 다섯 환자의 임상 관상동맥 조영 영상을 사용 하였다. 제안하는 방법은 기존의 방법보다 배경을 혈관으로 인식하는 오 인식률에서 약 $2\%$정도의 안정적인 결과를 보여주며, 정확도는 증가하였음을 알 수 있다.

현재 치과 방사선 영상에 적용되고 있는 대부분의 영상공제술은 기준점을 이용한 정한에 근거하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수작업에 의한 기준점 설정 방법을 이용하지 않고 자동적으로 정참을 수행하는 방법을 개발하였다. 두 영상의 기하학적 매칭을 국소적 관심영역(ROI)에 한정시켜서 이 관심영역 간의 상관계수를 비교한다. 두 영역의 상관계수가 최대화되는 affine 또는 perspective 변환 파라미터를 고속의 탐색전략을 이용하여 반복적으로 찾는다. 우선 1/4 스케일 영상에 대하여 근사적인 파라미터를 탐색한 후 다시 원래 영상에 대하여 미세한 매칭이 이루어진다. 개발된 방법은 Gaussian 잡음에 의해 손상된 모의영상을 모의변환을 하지 않은 영상과 동일한 정도의 정확도를 가지고 정합 할 수 있다. 개발된 방법의 perspective 변환을 이용한 정합의 정확도는 수작업에 의한 것보다 17%향상된 결과를 보였다. 결론적으로, 이 방법의 치과 임플란트 영상에의 적용은 거의 실시간으로 자동적이고 잡음에 강인한 정합을 제공한다.

Purpose: The purpose of the experiment was to evaluating the diagnostic ability of dental caries detection using digital subtraction in the artificial caries activity model. Materials and Methods: Digital radiographies of five teeth with 8 proximal surfaces were obtained by CCD sensor (Kodak RVG 6100 using a size #2). The digital radiographic images and subtraction images from artificial proximal caries were examined and interpreted. In this study, we proposed novel caries detection method which could diagnose the dental proximal caries from single digital radiographic image. Results: In artificial caries activity model, the range of lesional depth was $572-1,374{\mu}m$ and the range of lesional area was $36.95-138.52mm^2$. The lesional depth and the area were significantly increased with demineralization time (p<0.001). Furthermore, the proximal caries detection using digital subtraction radiography showed high detection rate compared to the proximal caries examination using simple digital radiograph. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that the digital subtraction radiography from single radiographic image of artificial caries was highly efficient in the detection of dental caries compared to the data from simple digital radiograph.
