In this manuscript, we consider electromagnetic imaging of perfectly conducting cracks completely hidden in a homogeneous material via boundary measurements. For this purpose, we carefully derive a topological derivative formula based on the asymptotic expansion formula for the existence of a perfectly conducting inclusion with a small radius. With this, we introduce a topological derivative based imaging algorithm and discuss its properties. Various numerical examples with noisy data show the effectiveness and limitations of the imaging algorithm.

Microwave imaging (MI) is one of the most promising and attractive new techniques for earlier breast cancer detection. Microwave tomography (MT) realizes configuration of a multistatic multiple-input multiple-output system and reconstructs dielectric properties of the breast by solving a nonlinear inversion scattering problem. In this paper, we describe ETRI 3D MT system with 3D MI reconstruction program and demonstrate its robustness through some examples of the image reconstruction.

Modern imaging technologies utilizing electromagnetic waves are indispensable in our daily lives. Applications, such as television and smartphone screens, radar imaging for weather forecast, and medical imaging, can be attributed to technology developments in various electromagnetic regions. Terahertz (THz) waves, electromagnetic (EM) waves located between far infrared and microwave regions, had left unexplored EM waves. Recent advances in technology have led to various two-dimensional and three-dimensional THz imaging techniques. In this article, we explain THz imaging techniques as well as the experimental results from our laboratory. Additionally, we introduce commercial THz cameras developed worldwide. Finally, we present the applications of THz imaging techniques.

This study was done to provide basic data on the safety of professionals in medical imaging system by measuring the electromagnetic waves generated in the medical imaging system being used in medical organization. The studied medical imaging systems were general X-ray system, computed tomography(CT), ultrasonographic system, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), PET-CT and fluoroscopic system, and through these devices, electric field and magnetic field were measured and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the measured values classified by the medical organizations were not much significant, but in the measurement by the medical imaging systems, there were high hazard elements in the sequential order of electric field PET-CT($17.7{\pm}22.9$)v/m, CT($10.3{\pm}8.7$)v/m, general X-ray system ($8.8{\pm}8.8$)v/m, magnetic field general X-ray system($5.06{\pm}8.26$)mG, CT($2.71{\pm}4.53$)mG and PET-CT($0.74{\pm}0.34$)mG, the systems that adopted X-ray as main ray source, and the more aged the medical imaging systems, the greater the effects of electro-magnetic waves($10.6{\pm}15.93v/m$ for 5 years or more, $6.14{\pm}5.60v/m$ for 5 years or less). The effects of electromagnetic waves on medical imaging systems or facilities were not much when the notification of ministry of knowledge economy is considered, but in the overall perspective considering all the equipments and facility of the medical organization, such effects were significant. It is determined that sustainable safety managements of electric field and magnetic field must be done during process from medical imaging system installation to maintenance to rule out such factors.

This study was done to provide basic data on the safety of professionals in medical imaging system by measuring the electromagnetic waves generated in the medical imaging system being used in medical organization. The studied medical imaging systems were general X-ray system, computed tomography(CT), ultrasonographic(USG) system, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), PET-CT and fluoroscopic(R/F) system, and through these devices, electric field and magnetic field were measured and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the measured values classified by the medical organizations were not much significant, but in the measurement by the medical imaging systems, there were high hazard elements in the sequential order of electric field PET-CT($17.7{\pm}22.9$)v/m, CT($10.3{\pm}8.7$)v/m, general X-ray system($8.8{\pm}8.8$)v/m, magnetic field general X-ray system($5.06{\pm}8.26$)mG, CT($2.71{\pm}4.53$)mG and PET-CT($0.74{\pm}0.34$)mG, the systems that adopted X-ray as main ray source, and the more aged the medical imaging systems, the greater the effects of electro-magnetic waves($10.6{\pm}15.93v/m$ for 5 years or more, $6.14{\pm}5.60v/m$ for 5 years or less).

In this paper, we consider the topological derivative concept for developing a fast imaging algorithm of thin inclusions with dielectric contrast with respect to an embedding homogeneous domain with a smooth boundary. The topological derivative is evaluated by applying asymptotic expansion formulas in the presence of small, perfectly conducting cracks. Through the careful derivation, we can design a one-iteration imaging algorithm by solving an adjoint problem. Numerical experiments verify that this algorithm is fast, effective, and stable.

High-resolution imaging of electrical conductivity has been the subject of many studies in crosshole tomography using electromagnetic (EM) fields (Zhou et al., 1993; Wilt et al., 1995; Alumbaugh and Morrison, 1995; Newman, 1995; Alumbaugh and Newman, 1997). Although the theoretical understanding and associated field practices for crosshole EM methods are relatively mature, fast and stable imaging of crosshole EM data is still a challenging problem.

Images can be obtained by collecting rays from objects. The characteristics of electromagnetic wave propagation depend on the medium. In particular, in an underwater imaging system, the interface between air and water must be considered. Further, reflection and transmission coefficients can be found by using electromagnetic theory. Because of the fact that the values of these coefficients differ according to the media, the recorded light intensities will change. A color image sensor has three different color channels. Therefore, the reflection and transmission coefficients have to be calculated individually. Thereafter, by using these coefficients, we can compensate for the color information of underwater objects. In this paper, we present a method to compensate for the color information of underwater objects by using electromagnetic wave propagation theory. To prove our method, we conducted optical experiments and evaluated the quality of the compensated image by a metric known as mean square error.

전기적인 장치를 기반으로 한 테라헤르츠 송신기(Terahertz Transmitter: Tx)를 이용하여 0.34 THz의 전자기파를 발생시키는 소형 CW sub-THz 이미징 시스템을 제시하였다. Tx에 의해 발생된 0.34 THz의 전자기파는 테라 헤르츠 수신기(Terahertz Receiver: Rx)를 이용하여 샘플의 진폭(magnitude)과 위상(phase) 정보를 각각 측정하였다. 이 논문에서는 보다 좋은 이미지 해상도를 얻기 위하여 데이터 수집 시 이미지의 분해능(resolution)에 영향을 미치는 주사 스테이지(scanning stage)의 시간 지연과 스텝 거리를 변수로 두어 다양한 샘플들을 주사하여 그 결과를 측정, 비교하였다. 또한 플라스틱, 종이, 나무 등 다양한 샘플들의 이미징 측정을 통해 테라헤르츠 파의 응용 가능성을 확인하였다.

테라헤르츠 전자기파 펄스(테라파)의 변조를 통하여 주파수별 영상을 얻었다. 갈바노미터를 이용한 고속훑기방법으로 시간축 신호를 실시간으로 획득하였고, 이를 fast Fourier transformation을 통하여 주파수별 신호로 변환하였다. 테라파 접속지점에서 파의 공간 분포를 주파수별로 얻었으며 주파수가 증가할수록 집속직경이 축소됨을 확인하였다. 이 접속지점에서 1차원과 2차원 시료를 이동시킴으로써 각각의 주파수별 영상을 얻었고 주파수가 증가할수록 영상의 해상도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 가려진 시료에 테라파를 투과시킴으로써 비파괴영상을 얻었다.
