본원에서 시행하는 Brain SPECT 검사는 $^{99m}Tc-ECD$ 또는 $^{99m}Tc-HMPAO$를 주사 한 후 뇌 영상을 얻어 뇌 관류상태를 평가하는 검사이다. 하지만 검사 중 일부 환자 상태가 불안정할 경우 움직임이 발생하여 재촬영이나 검사실패로 이어지는 경우가 발생 된다. 이에 현재의 Step and Shoot Mode(SSM)이 아닌 움직임이 발생되더라도 재구성을 통해 영상 구현이 가능한 Dynamic Continuous Mode(DCM)를 적용하여 환자의 재촬영과 피폭선량을 감소시키고 검사실에 운영 효율성을 높이고자함에 있다. Deluxe PET/SPECT Phantom과 Hoffman 3D Brain Phantom으로 Filtered Back Projection(FBJ)과 Iterated Reconstruction(IR)으로 재구성하여 영상을 구현하였다. 이미지를 가지고 핵의학과 5년이상의 임상경력이 있는 의사 5명과 방사선사 5명을 대상으로 리커트 5점 척도(Likert 5 Scale)와 블라인드 판독 테스트를 실시 하였다. 판독의 블라인드 테스트 결과 최소 DCM 3Repeat (30%)에서 7Repeat (50%)까지 판독에 영향을 주지 않는다고 답해 주었다. DCM으로 검사 시 환자 움직임이 발생되면 불필요한 부분을 제거하여 재촬영, 재주사의 감소를 가져올 수 있고, 장비 오류 시 영상을 재구성 후 구현 할 수 있어 검사실 운영 효율도 높을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 SPECT검사뿐 만 아니라 SPECT/CT검사 에서도 활발한 연구가 적용 될 거라 기대 되며 마지막으로 실제 환자 적용은 환자 데이터의 충분한 수집 후 병원 판독 실정에 맞게 도입이 필요 하리라 사료된다.

This paper deals with the analysis, design, and implementation of a single phase AC-DC Zeta converter with high frequency transformer isolation and power factor correction(PFC) in two modes of operation, discontinuous current mode of operation(DCM), and continuous current mode of operation(CCM). A Digital Signal Processor(DSP) based implementation is carried out for validation of the Zeta converter developed design in discontinuous mode of operation. A comparison of both modes of operation is presented for a 1kW power rating from the point of view of steady state and dynamic behavior, power quality, simplicity, control technique, device rating, and converter size. The experimental results of a developed prototype of Zeta converter are presented for validation of the developed design. It is observed that CCM is most suitable for higher power applications where it requires some complex control and sensing of the additional variables.

This paper proposes a confronting feedback control structure and controllers for positive output elementary super lift Luo converters (POESLLCs) working in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The POESLLC offers the merits like high voltage transfer gain, good efficiency, and minimized coil current and capacitor voltage ripples. The POESLLC working in DCM holds the value of not having right half pole zero (RHPZ) in their control to output transfer function unlike continuous conduction mode (CCM). Also the DCM bestows superlative dynamic response, eliminates the reverse recovery troubles of diode and retains the stability. The proposed control structure involves two controllers respectively to control the voltage (outer) loop and the current (inner) loop to confront the time-varying ON/OFF characteristics of variable structured systems (VSSs) like POESLLC. This study involves two different combination of feedback controllers viz. the proportional integral controller (PIC) plus sliding mode controller (SMC) and the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) plus SMC. The state space averaging modeling of POESLLC in DCM is reviewed first, then design of PIC, FLC and SMC are detailed. The performance of developed controller combinations is studied at different working states of the POESLLC system by MATLAB-Simulink implementation. Further the experimental corroboration is done through implementation of the developed controllers in PIC 16F877A processor. The prototype uses IRF250 MOSFET, IR2110 driver and UF5408 diodes. The results reassured the proficiency of designed FLC plus SMC combination over its counterpart PIC plus SMC.

This paper presents a scheme to improve the line current distortion of power factor corrector (PFC) topology at the zero crossing point using a predictive control algorithm in both the continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). The line current in single-phase PFC topology is distorted at the zero crossing point of the input AC voltage because of the characteristic of the general proportional integral (PI) current controller. This distortion degrades the line current quality, such as the total harmonic distortion (THD) and the power factor (PF). Given the optimal duty cycle calculated by estimating the next state current in both the CCM and DCM, the proposed predictive control algorithm has a fast dynamic response and accuracy unlike the conventional PI current control method. These advantages of the proposed algorithm lower the line current distortion of PFC topology. The proposed method is verified through PSIM simulations and experimental results with 1.5 kW bridgeless PFC (BLPFC) topology.
