The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of increasing the amount of 3D volume imaging on the hand, knee, and foot human phantom in CT, After analyzing the data, three - dimensional volumetric images were implemented using MMWP program to evaluate reproducibility. First, the data amount of three human phantoms according to each increment was analyzed. Secondly, the reproducibility evaluation and the measured length were compared. As a result of analyzing the amount of image data for each phantom according to the increment, it was confirmed that the amount of data is reduced to about 1/10 when the increment is set to 1.0 mm as compared with the case where the increment is set to 0.1 mm. In the evaluation of the feasibility, gap was generated from 0.7mm for hand phantom, 0.6mm for knee phantom and foot phantom, and it was confirmed that even when the actual phantom and actual length were compared, the length was much different and the implementation was lowered. As the increment is closer to 1.0mm, the number of images is small and the 3D implementation time is small. Therefore, it is best to determine the increase before the gap of the image is generated and to apply the Increment for preoperative diagnosis. We hope that this study will be an indicator of the accurate increment setting when implementing 3D image through VRT Rendering after CT scan.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a difference in image quality before and after reducing the amount of contrast medium in cerebral hemorrhagic patients who periodically follow up CT, and after reducing the amount of contrast medium, the image before and after reduction was examined, and the image quality was assessed by setting ROI at each vessel location using MMWP program. First Rt. CCA, Lt.CCA. Rt.MCA, Lt.MCA and Basilar Artery each got an ROI. Second, the mean and standard deviation values for the ROI were obtained. Third, SNR and CNR were obtained through the average and standard deviation values obtained. T-test statistics show that the SNR and CNR values obtained show that the result values for SNR are Rt.CCA 0.765, Ltd.CCA 0.871, Rt.MCA 0.343 LT.MCA 0.235, Basilar alternative 0.916, result value for CNR Rt.CCA 0.088, Ltd.CCA 0.069, Rt.MCA 0.818, Let's...MCA 0.579 and Basilar Artery 0.878. The results obtained through the obtained SNR and CNR values showed no difference in the quality of the images before and after reducing contrast medium. Therefore, we hope that this study will be an indicator that reduces the burden on contrast agents on patients who do CT examinations periodically.

밀리미터파 대역의 아날로그 광전송을 위한 진행파형 (travel ing wave, TW) 전계흡수 광변조기 (electroabsorption modulator, EAM)와 광수신기의 설계에 대해 발표하고자 한다. TW EAM 및 TW 광수신기의 일반적인 형태인 ridge-type의 co-planar waveguide (CPW)구조에서의 마이크로파의 전송특성을 3차원 FDTD로 분석하여 광파와 전파의 속도 정합 등을 이루는 최적화 구조를 설계하였다. TW EAM의 경우 광세기 변조의 비선형 응답특성에 있어서 마이크로파 손실과 소자길이가 RF 신호의 혼변조 왜곡 (intermodulation distortion)과 SFDR (spurious free dynamic range)성능에 미치는 영향도 이론적으로 조사하였다. TW PIN 광수신기의 경우 광파와 마이크로파의 속도정합의 영향과 이전에는 고려되지 않았던 photo-generated 전송자의 진성 영역에서의 transit time이 광수신기의 밴드 폭에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 최적화 설계하였다.
