The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in 2019 led to large numbers of people being infected and developing atypical pneumonia (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19). Typical imaging manifestations of patients infected with 2019-nCoV has been reported, but we encountered an atypical radiological manifestation on baseline computed tomography (CT) images in three patients from Wuhan, China infected with the 2019-nCoV. Surprisingly, the only similar CT finding was a solitary sub-centimeter ground-glass nodule adjacent to bronchovascular bundles, which could be easily overlooked. In addition, the follow-up images in these patients showed how COVID-19 pneumonia evolved from these small nodules. The radiologic manifestation of the three cases will expand contemporary understanding of COVID-19.

Special methods for cleaning surfaces of stainless steel with a coating simulating radioactive contamination have been developed and studied. The removal of simulated surface contamination was performed using lasers in the micron spectral range with pulse durations of 8 ns and 270 fs. Optimal cleaning modes were determined for gas and liquid environments, achieving surface cleaning coefficient of over 90% in a single pass. A correlation between the degree of cleaning in liquids and the viscosity of the environment was discovered.

Athough planetary nebulae (PNe) have been discovered for over 200 years, it was not until 30 years ago that we arrived at a basic understanding of their origin and evolution. Even today, with observations covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio to X-ray, there are still many unanswered questions on their structure and morphology. In this review, we summarize recent theoretical and observational advances in PNe research, and discuss the roles of PNe in the chemical (atomic, molecular, and solid-state) enrichment of the galaxy and as tracers of the large scale structure of the Universe.

Congenital cystic disease of the lung is very rare and controversial disease. But in general is regarded as developmental anomaly. Occasionally failure of the primitive lung bud to develop combined with cardiac anomaly had been reported but it was very rare. Recently a case of cystic lung disease combined with pulmonic valvular stenosis was seen in this clinic with clinical pictures of nonspecific respiratory infection and X-ray finding very similar to that of far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, destroyed left lung. This case was treated by closed pulmonic valvulotomy and left side pneumonectomy successfully.

90 Cases of diabetics who came to department of internal medicine and dental clinic, National Medical Center, and 90 Cases of patients who came to dental clinic without general symptom were examined with oral examination and intra-oral x-ray study, from May, 1975 to Oct. , 1975. The obtained results were as follow : In the diabetics, gingval inflammaory changes, alveolar bone resorption and tiih mobility were more severe than nondiabetics who had similar local initants in the oral cavities.

In general, the characteristics of plasma spray coating are strongly dependent on process conditions. In this paper, Mo and Co alloy coating layers were made by plasma spraying with different spray parameters and characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), hardnass test, and wear test. It was found that the coating characteristics were mainly affected by phase composition of the powder, spray distance, arc current, and gas flow rate.

We present preliminary numerical simulations of tilted-disk accretion around a rotating black hole. Our goal is to explore whether hydrodynamic instabilities near the Bardeen-Petterson radius could be responsible for generating moderate-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations in X-ray binaries. We review the relevant general relativistic hydrodynamic equations, and discuss preliminary results on the structure and dynamics of a thin, Keplerian disk.

Carcinosarcoma is the group of neoplasms possessing both carcinomatous parenchyma and sarcomatous stroma. These tumors are relatively uncommon and may arise in variable organs. In this case, a 62-year-old male patient was admitted to our department due to left chest pain and general weakness of three months duration. The chest x-ray revealed egg-sized, relatively well defined lobulated soft tissue mass in left paracardiac area. Left lower lobectomy was performed under the preoperative impression of lung cancer. Pathologic examination of the resected lung revealed carcinosarcoma without regional lymph node metastasis. Patient is doing well at present without any chemotherapy.

Although ex situ target strength (TS) measurements using dual- and split-beam systems have become the primary approach of estimating fish abundance, theoretical model estimation is a powerful tool for verifying the measurements, as well as for providing values when making direct measurements is difficult. TS values for 20 samples of live bambooleaf wrasse (Pseudolabrus japonicus) whose target length (TL) ranged between 13.7 and 21.3 cm were estimated theoretically using the Kirchhoff-ray mode model, and the TS values for 18 live fish samples were additionally measured at ${\sim}0^{\circ}$ tilt angle to the swimming aspect using a tethered method at a frequency of 120 kHz to verify the theoretical values. The digitizing intervals used to extract the fish body and swim bladder morphology in the X-ray photographs significantly affected the calculated TS patterns, but variations based on the speed of sound and density ratio values for the general range of fish flesh were relatively small (within 1 dB). Close agreement was observed between the measured and theoretical TS values, and the correlation between the average TS and body length of the fish could be calculated accurately as <$TS_{120kHz}$>= 20logTL (cm) -71.6 using the theoretical method.

본 연구의 목적은 CR(Computed Radiography)과 DR(Digital Radiography)장비의 각 Detector를 통해 획득된 영상의 화질을 비교 분석하기 위한 것이다. CR(AGFA MD 4.0 General plate, JAPAN)과 DR(HOLOGIC nDirect Ray, USA)에 대한 영상평가의 주요인자인 MTF(Modulation transfer function), NPS(Noise power spectrum), Photon fluence, DQE(Detective quantum efficiency)를 정량적인 값으로 도출하여 비교한 결과 CR이 DR보다 우수하게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 CR과 DR장비의 Image quality를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 이 장비들을 유지, 보수하는데도 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
