In this papre, we describe a recently implemented echo canceller for digital cellular communication of Code Division Multiple Access(CDMA) that features time sharing of digital signal processor(DSP) over four channels in one DSP to reduce per channel costs. In the Public Land Mobile Network(PLMN), it is important to cancel the echo reflected from the Public Switched Telephone Network(PSTN) side. In case of digital mobile system, the round-trip delay of the echo is in excess of about 180 milliseconds due to frame-by-frame voice coding. It is necessary to cancel the echo in PLMN. We have developed a multi-channel echo canceller tht operates with Time Switch Module in a Mobile Switching Center(MSC). The general echo canceller needs PCM trunk interface circuits and the tone detection and disabling circuits, but the multi-channel echo canceller linked with Time Switch Module does not need them. Therefore we could develop the effective and economical echo canceller.

목적: Projection-type Fast Spin Echo (PFSE) 영상 기법은 일반적인 Fast Spin Echo (FSE) 기법과 비교하여 환자의 움직임과 혈류에 강한 장점이 있는 반면. $T_2$ 대조도(contrast)를 조절하기가 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 PFSE의 대조도를 이론적으로 분석하였고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 다양한 effective echo time (TE) 을 갖는 일반적인 FSE와 비교, 분석하였다. 또한 인체 실험을 통하여 제안한 PFSE 영상기법으로 움직 임과 혈류에 강인한 $T_2$ 강조 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 보였다. 대상 및 방법: 본 연구에서는 1.OT 전신 MRI 시스템에서 새로운 k-space의 배치를 갖는 PFSE 펠스 시권스를 구현하여, PFSE와 FSE 방식의 $T_2$ 대조도를 컴퓨터 모의설험과 인체 실험을 통하여 비교, 분석하였다. 컴퓨터 모의실험에서는 서로 다른 $T_2$ 값을 갖는 팬텀을 구현하여 다양한 effective TE에 대한 FSE 영상과 PFSE 영상을 재구성하여 대조도를 비교하였다. 인체 설험에서는 multi-slice $T_2$ 강조 두부 영상을 PFSE와 FSE로 얻어 영상기법간의 $T_2$ 대조도를 비교하였다. 결과: 이론적인 분석에서 PFSE의 $T_2$ 대조도는 effective TE가 80-l00ms 정도의 FSE 영상과 등가하게 나타나 $T_2$ 강조 영상을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 컴퓨터 모의실험에서 PFSE 재구성 영상은 effective TE가 96ms인 FSE 영상과 대조도가 비슷하게 나타났다. 인체 실험에 서도 PFSE 영상은 effective TE가 96ms인 FSE 영상과 비슷하게 나타났으며. PFSE 방법이 FSE 방법에 비하여 움직 엄과 혈류와 관련한 artifact에 강인함을 확인 할 수 었었다. 결론: PFSE 기법은 k-space의 극좌표계에서 서로 다른 각도를 갖는 여러 line틀을 다중 스핀 에코 기법으로 측정하는 방식이다. PFSE기법은 FSE와 비교하여 환자의 움직임과 혈류에 강한 장점이 있는 반면, $T_2$ 대조도를 조절하기가 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 PFSE 방식으로 FSE와 대등한 $T_2$ 대조도 ($T_2$ 강조 영상)를 얻을 수 있음을 이론과 컴퓨터 모의실험 밝히고, 인체 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

Fast spin echo imaging utilizes multiple spin echoes to encode multiple k-space lines instead of multiple $T_2-weighted$ images. As results, intensities in k-space data are varying according to T2 decay, which generates Gibb's artifact in the reconstructed image. The echo time for e encoding dc block determines contrast, as is specified by the effective echo time, however, all location of other echoes to different k-space frequency blocks in fast spin echo imaging is not f fully investigated. In this study, symmetric arrangement of multiple echoes in k-space is investigated to reduce Gibb's artifact. Design of filters based on the measurement of multiple e echo intensities is also proposed in two stage manner, i.e., equalization and filtering. From s simulation and experiment, it was observed that Gibb's phenomena were substantially reduced b by the proposed methods.

본 연구에서는 가돌리늄 조영제를 다양한 몰농도로 희석하여 T1 효과를 나타내는 펄스 시퀀스 중 고속스핀에코와 에코타임이 극도로 짧은 ultra short time echo에서 최대 신호 강도 분포를 나타내는 조영제 희석 몰농도를 3.0T에서 각각 알아보고자 하였다. T1 조영제인 gadoxetic acid 와 완충용액으로는 증류수, 2% agarose gel을 이용하여 다양한 몰농도로 조영제 팬텀을 제작하였다. 팬텀 제작의 정확성을 측정하기 위해 T1 이완시간 측정의 표준방식인 2D inversion recovery spine-echo 펄스시퀀스를 이용하였으며 팬텀의 중간 부의 한 개의 관상면 영상을 획득하여 T1 이완 시간을 계산하였다. 스핀에코에서는 1-2 mmol/L 조영제 몰농도에서 가장 높은 신호를 나타냈으며, ultra short time echo에서는 7 mmol/L에서 가장 큰 신호를 나타냈다. ultra short time echo 펄스 시퀀스를 이용한 조영증강 효과를 보기 위해서는 고속스핀에코 기법 보다 2-3배의 조영제 농도가 목적 장기에 유지하여야 하며 이와 관련된 조영제량 및 투여 방법의 연구가 이루어져야 한다.

A MBES (multibeam echo sounder) survey around Yokji Island, Korea, was conducted to find an effective method for removing error data. Two post-processing software programs, PDS2000 (RESON) and HIPS (CARIS), were used to remove the error data using an interactive editing method and the CUBE algorithm filter. The post-processing with the PDS2000 and HIPS programs, using the interactive editing method, took 120 and 168 hours, respectively, and there was little difference in the seafloor images. The processing time of the PDS2000 and HIPS programs using the CUBE algorithm filter was 36 and 60 hours, respectively. Nevertheless, there was little difference in the seafloor images because of differences in the factor parameters in each of the post-processing programs. Therefore, post-processing using CUBE filtering can save time in data processing and provide consistent results, excluding the subjective decisions of the operator. This method is more effective than other methods for rejecting erroneous multibeam echo sounder data.

To compare the accuracy of breath-hold magnetic resonance imaging sequences to establish the most effective superparamagnetic iron oxide-enhanced sequence for detection of hepatic metastases. A total of 100 patients(50men and 50women, mean age: 60years) with liver disease(including malignant and benign liver lesions) were investigated at 3.0T machine (GE, General Electric Medical System, Excite HD) with 8Ch body coil. Pulse sequence for MR imaging decided to the FS-T2-FSE-RT(TR/TE/Thick./Freq./Phase=12857ms/100ms/7mm/512/384), MGRE(TR/TE/Thick./Freq./Phase=100ms/9.7ms/7mm/384/288), in-out of phase echo(TR/$TE_1$, $TE_2$/Thick./Freq./Phase=140ms/2.4, 5.8ms/7mm/352/300), Images obtained before the injection of SPIO. Six sequences were optimized for lesion detection: FS-T2-FSE-RT, multigradient recalled echo data image(MGRE), T2-weighted MGRE with an 9.7msec echo time. Images were reviewed independently by five blinded observers. The accuracy of each sequence was measured by using picture archiving communication system analysis. All results were correlated with findings at multidectator computed tomography examination. Differences between the mean results of the six observers were measured by using paired student t-test analysis. Postcontrast T2-weighted MGRE sequences were the most accurate and were significantly superior to postcontrast FS-T2-FSE-RT, T2-weighted MGRE, in-out of phase MR sequences(p < .05). For all lesions that were malignant or smaller than 1 cm, respectively, contrast to noise ratio of pre and postcontrast sequences were -1and -0.3 for T2-weighted FSE, 0.53 and 4.5 in-out of phase, 7, 7.08, 5.08, 3.32, 1.7, 1.16, 0.79, 0.68 for GRE with 2.9, 7.5, 12.1, 16.6, 21.2, 25.8, 30.4, 35.0 TE values. Breath-hold various TE precontrast sequences offer improvement in sensitivity compared with fixed multigradient recalled echo sequences alone.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the number of measurement points on the calculation of transverse relaxation time (T2) with a focus on muscle T2. Materials and Methods: This study assumed that muscle T2 was comprised of a single component. Two phantom types were measured, 1 each for long ("phantom") and short T2 ("polyvinyl alcohol gel"). Right calf muscle T2 measurements were conducted in 9 healthy male volunteers using multiple-spin-echo magnetic resonance imaging. For phantoms and muscle (medial gastrocnemius), 5 regions of interests were selected. All region of interest values were expressed as the mean ${\pm}$ standard deviation. The T2 effective signal-ratio characteristics were used as an index to evaluate the magnetic resonance image quality for the calculation of T2 from T2-weighted images. The T2 accuracy was evaluated to determine the T2 reproducibility and the goodness-of-fit from the probability Q. Results: For the phantom and polyvinyl alcohol gel, the standard deviation of the magnetic resonance image signal at each echo time was narrow and mono-exponential, which caused large variations in the muscle T2 decay curves. The T2 effective signal-ratio change varied with T2, with the greatest decreases apparent for a short T2. There were no significant differences in T2 reproducibility when > 3 measurement points were used. There were no significant differences in goodness-of-fit when > 6 measurement points were used. Although the measurement point evaluations were stable when > 3 measurement points were used, calculation of T2 using 4 measurement points had the highest accuracy according to the goodness-of-fit. Even if the number of measurement points was increased, there was little improvement in the probability Q. Conclusion: Four measurement points gave excellent reproducibility and goodness-of-fit when muscle T2 was considered mono-exponential.

For efficient and accurate diagnosis of ultrasound images, the time gain compensation (TGC) and dynamic range (DR) control of the ultrasound echo signal are important. TGC is for compensating the attenuation of the ultrasound echo signal along the depth, and DR is used to control the image contrast. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for finding the optimized values of TGC and DR automatically. For TGC, the degree of compensation is determined along the depth based on the effective attenuation estimation of ultrasound signal. For DR optimization, we introduce a novel cost function on the basis of the characteristics of ultrasound image, which provides the minimum value at the optimal DR. Experiments have been performed by applying the proposed algorithm to a real US imaging system. The results show that the algorithm automatically can determine the values of TGC and DR in realtime so that the subjective quality of the corresponding US image may be good enough for diagnosis.
