  • This thesis describes the effective interfacing methods of PACS Modality based on the system installation and operating experiences. PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) is a system for medical image archiving and communication using large storage device and high-speed network. The standard communication protocol of PACS is DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) based on TCP/IP and point-to-point protocol. However, there are many Non-DICOM Modalities and DICOM Modalities having problems. First, we had interfaced almost modalities, Fuji CR, GE CT, MRI, Angio, Fluoro, Phillips Angio, Shimadzu Fluoro, Ultrasound PACS, with the main PACS in the Seoul S Hospital as large scale hospital. And we manipulated the intelligent image distribution and the CT, MRI Interfaces never experienced before in the Anyang J Hospital and the Chungju C Hospital as mid or small scale hospital. Technically, we developed both the DICOM Interface and the Non-DICOM Interface. At the last, the DICOM Worklist and the DICOM Print Interface were implemented in the Seoul B Hospital, the Bucheon SJ Hospital and the Seoul K Hospital independently with PACS. The Oracle, Sybase and MS-SQL are used as database, and UNIX, Macintosh, MS Windows as operating systems. And the Visual C++ and UNIX C are the main programming tools. We have used UTP, coaxial and fiber optic Gable under 10/100 mbps LAN for networking.

  • 방사선 치료 시 보다 정확한 환자자세 및 종양위치 확인을 위해 다양한 형태의 방사선영상장치들이 사용되면서 이에 따른 환자 피폭 관리의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 진단영상의학 분야에서는 의료방사선 이용의 급격한 증가로 인해 이에 의한 2차 암발생률 증가에 대한 보고들이 사회적인 반향을 일으켰고, 투시촬영 및 CT 등에 의한 과다 피폭 사례가 밝혀지면서 이를 막기 위해 image gently, image wisely 캠페인이 수년전부터 미국을 중심으로 확산되고 있다. 반면에 방사선 종양학 분야에서는 방사선치료로 받는 선량에 비해 영상선량은 무시할 수준이어서 아직까지 이에 대한 관심이 상대적으로 작은 게 사실이다. 하지만 암의 조기 발견, 방사선치료 성적의 향상 등으로 환자의 기대수명이 증대되고 있고, 특히 소아의 경우 상대적으로 높은 방사선 민감도 및 기대 수명을 고려할 때 방사선장해방어를 위해 ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) 원칙에 입각하여 영상유도 방사선치료에 수반되는 영상선량의 적절한 관리가 필요하다고 사료된다. 하지만 영상유도기법으로 인해 방사선치료의 정확도를 높이고 고 선량이 피폭되는 치료범위를 더 작게 할 수도 있기 때문에 단순한 최소화가 아닌 최적화가 이루어져야 하겠다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 가이드라인에서는 (1) 영상유도기술 및 수반되는 영상선량에 대해 정리하고, (2) 영상유도 장비 및 이용실태에 대한 국내 현황을 파악, (3) 적절한 영상유도를 위한 최적화 방안들을 모색하여 권고안을 제시하고자 한다.

  • 목적: 광학적 분자 발광영상은 발광효소를 이용하여 발광하는 빛의 신호를 영상화하는 기법이다. 발광하는 광량이 분자 변화 또는 세포 수와 비례하고 신호 대 잡음비가 좋아서 영상을 얻고, 정략분석이 가능하다. 이 연구에서는 정량적 분석을 위해 비례적 측정 정량화기법을 개발하였다. 대상 및 방법: 개발 중인 ALIS (animal light imaging system) 광학발광영상 카메라에서 박테리아 수를 달리한 박테리아 광원 3가지와 또 다른 3가지 광원을 이용하여 발광영상을 측정하였다. 일정한 세기의 광원에 대해서 측정 방법을 수학적으로 표현하기 위해 cd와 광속의 개념을 이용하여 간단한 수식을 유도하였다. 실험을 통해 측정시간 1초를 기준으로 얻어진 값으로 표준 정량화 함수를 얻었다. 얻어진 정량화 함수를 이용하여 박테리아를 이용한 실험에 필요한 함수의 상수 값을 구했으며, 세 가지 세기가 다른 광원을 이용하여 측정한 값을 측정시간과 함께 정량화 식에 대입하여 측정하였다. 결과: 표준측정함수를 이용하여 측정시간에 비례하는 정량적 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 정량화결과를 측정시간으로 나눠준 값은 일정하였으며, 측정시간에 대비한 비례적 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 결론: 측정한 결과를 정량화 함수에 대입하여 정량화시킨 값은 표준정량화 하기에 적합하였다. 이 정량화 방법은 다른 광학적 분자영상 장비에 적용하여도 빛의 세기를 표준화 시킬 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라 성격이 다른 각각의 광원에 대해서도 보다 정량적인 분석을 시행할 수 있으므로, 새로운 표준 정량화 방법으로 발전시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • 이동식 저장매체가 널리 보급됨에 따라 중요한 정보가 이동식 저장매체에 보관되는 경우가 많아지고 있다. 따라서 핵심적인 범죄 증거 역시 이동식 저장 매체에 존재할 가능성이 커지고 있으며 압수 수색 현장에서 이동식 저장 매체는 반드시 수집해야 할 대상이 되었다. 이동식 저장매체를 증거물로 획득한 경우 하드웨어 기반의 이미징 장비나 쓰기방지장치를 동반한 포렌식 소프트웨어를 통해 이미징 작업을 진행한다. 하지만 이런 장비의 경우 고가일 뿐만 아니라 현장에서 고장으로 인해 급하게 사용할 수 없는 경우를 배제할 수 없다. 또한 실험을 통해 확인한 결과 보안 USB 혹은 백신 USB의 경우 하드웨어 기반의 이미징 장비나 쓰기방지장치에서 인식을 할 수 없는 경우를 발견하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현재의 이동식 저장매체에 맞는 디지털 증거 수집절차를 제안한다.

  • With the rapid development of the national industry, the importance of electrical safety was recognized because of a lot of new electrical equipment are installing and the electrical accidents have been occurring annually. Today, the electrical equipments is inspect by using the portable Infrared thermal imaging camera. but the most negative element of using the camera is inspected for only state of heating, the reliable diagnosis is depended with inspector's knowledge, and real-time monitoring is impossible. This paper present the infrared thermal imaging safety diagnosis system. This system is able to monitor in real time, predict the state of fault, and diagnose the state with analysis of thermal and power data. The system consists of a main processor, an infrared camera module, the power data acquisition board, and a server. The diagnostic algorithm is based on a mathematical model designed by analyzing the Pearson's Correlation Coefficient between temperature and power data. To test the prediction algorithm, the simulations were performed by damaging the terminals or cables on the switchboard to generate a large amount of heat. Utilizing these simulations, the developed prediction algorithm was verified.

  • Positron Emission Tomography(PET) was introduced as a research tool in the 1970s and it took about 20 years before PET became an useful clinical imaging modality. In the USA, insurance coverage for PET procedures in the 1990s was the turning point, I believe, for this progress. Initially PET was used in neurology but recently more than 80% of PET procedures are in oncological applications. I firmly believe, in the 21st century, one can not manage cancer patients properly without PET and PET is very important medical imaging modality in basic and clinical sciences. PET is grouped into 2 categories : conventional(c) and gamma camera $based_{(CB)}$ PET. $_{CB}PET$ is more readily available utilizing dual-head gamma cameras and commercially available FDG to many medical centers at low cost to patients. In fact there are more $_{CB}PET$ in operation than cPET in the USA. $_{CB}PET$ is inferior to cPET in its performance but clinical studies in oncology is feasible without expensive infrastructures such as staffing, rooms and equipments. At Ajou university Hospital, CBPET was installed in late 1997 for the first time in Korea as well as in Asia and the system has been used successfully and effectively in oncological applications. Ours was the fourth PET operation in Korea and I believe this may have been instrumental for other institutions got interested in clinical PET. The fellowing is a brief description of our clinical experience of FDG CBPET in oncology.

  • The purpose of this study evaluated the hemo-dynamic information within 30 seconds clinically in 3D breast MRI. From January to March 2014, A total of 40 people were examined at 1.5 Tesla(Philips, Medical System, Achieva, The Netherlands) MRI equipments using 16 channel SENSE breast coil. The imaging parameters on vibrant are fellow as: $TR/TE/FA^{\circ}$/Matrix size/Slice thickness/Slab($5ms/2ms/10^{\circ}/180{\times}139{\times}2mm/80$). This study used a Gadovist and injected it with injection speed of 4 ml /sec by auto injector with 15 ml saline flushing. Firstly, for the delay time study, it divided three different delay time from immediately, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds. In quantitative analysis, the ROI signal intensities of tumor and surrounding tissues were measured retrospectively. In qualitative analysis, the image quality was scored from 1 to 5 point by one experienced radiological technologists as a visual test. The significance level of each delay time was evaluated with a one-way ANOVA(p<0.05). In the visual test, score levels on 30 seconds delay time was a little bit higher than others(p<0.05). The signal intensity of the tumor were $1445{\pm}360$, $1410{\pm}320$, $1510{\pm}415$ on immediately, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds and score levels were $4.18{\pm}0.85$, $3.54{\pm}0.94$, $4.45{\pm}0.74$(p<0.05). The data on immediate images showed better results than that others(p<0.05). Conclusively, Although it has been high scored in 30sec delay time for visual test in order to avoid failure in 20second, 30seconds delay time after contrast media administration, we recommend that the DCE 3D breast MRI commence immediately.

  • The small sized telescope can be best used if the control and observation can be made remotely and fully automatically by the aid of computers. We discuss the possible ways of automating the existing telescopes of various designs using personal computers. 'We have specifically designed the parts necessary to automate 16 inch Cassegrain Telescope at Pusan University Observatory. The degree of automation we have set for the present work is the interactive. remote observation including opening and shutting down of dome slit. The observational modes we have in mind are photoelectric photometry and CCD imaging. The basic components of the hardware are interface card for 16 or 32 bit IBM PC family of computers, relay switches for the control of telescope movements, stepping motor controller card for the control of observational equipments, and AID converter unit that accepts signal from sensors for the environment conditions such as temperature, wind speeds, precipitation, etc. We also have designed and built a photoelectric photometer that can be fully controlled by the command of a computer. Such observational equipment is also essential in order that the remote observation can be realized.

  • There are technological changes to reduce the size and weight of electronic components and to accommodate multi-functions in them. To meet this trend, more complicated technological processes are required. To maintain the processes, more accurate inspection systems are also necessary. Therefore, new inspection methods are needed, which is differ from conventional inspection methods such as electrical test methods ICT(In-Circuit Test), FCT(Function Test) and visual test using optical equipments. One of the possible approaches is non-destructive test using X-ray. In this paper, an inspection method using X-ray is developed and applied to inspection of soldering state and internal defects of electronic components.

  • Ever since it was first introduced as a method of scintigraphically measuring regional myocardial perfusion, myocardial perfusion study has been widely used in patients diagnosed or suspected with coronary artery diseases, and continuously improved upon. In addition to the technological enhancement of nuclear medicine equipments, the innovation of radiopharmaceuticals used in the cardiac exams were important contributors to such improvement. Besides the cardiac perfusion studies, new radiopharmaceuticals that visualize fat metabolism or receptors of the sympathetic nervous system have successfully been applied to clinical practice. More information can be collected before diagnosing coronary vascular disease, evaluating the patient's condition, or assessing therapeutic effects. In this review article, the clinical efficacy and characteristics of radiopharmaceutical products tailored for cardiac SPECT that are commonly used in Korea currently, plus the ones not being used yet but have proven value are briefly described.
