A real-tme nonlinear parameter tomography is pumping wave method. This tomorgraphy has a merit which requires no 180$^{\circ}$ projection datum, while the ray-bending effect is remrkably remained on the reconstructed image. In this paper we intend to compensate this ray-bending effect using the perturbation method. Impulsive pumping wave makes derived compensative term simple form, nad the compensative image is easily obtained. We perform computer simulation to confirm the improvement of corrected imate.

In this paper, a simplified visualization method is proposed for an urban space in consideration of weather and sun moving. In the proposed method, buildings and roads with shadows are visualized by the ray tracing algorithm. Also sky, snow, and rain are visualized by textures. Some textures such as snow and rain are generated in advance by the ray casting algorithm. Then we can obtain images with weather condition and shadows of sunlight by buildings along the road in relatively low computational cost

Typical analytical tools in noise level estimation are using BEM and Ray Acoustics for acoustic field.0 this paper, application of both approaches have been examined for the prediction on the exterior surface of railway vehicles. Advantages and disadvantages of the tool have been also evaluated. The result shows that sound understanding of the analytical tools for noise evaluation is necessary.

The focal spot of electron beam depending on the anode angle in the structure and major parts of the X-ray tube was investigated by the OPERA-3D/SCALAR simulation program. The simulation worked on four spaces with with two spaces, including anode and cathode of X-ray tube, by applying the finite element method analysis. The analytical model and dimension for the emission orbit of thermal electrons made from one filament of the focused X-ray cathode is affected to the penumbra of detector for the X-ray depending on any real focal spot size. The model shape of focusing cap and focusing tube with an anode target angle and a cathode filament is analyzed by the current density distribution of thermal electrons. The focusing width of thermal electrons for the X-ray tube depended on the anode angle (${\theta}$). The focusing value of electron beams at a region of anode angle having $10^{\circ}{\sim}17^{\circ}$ maintained to below value of $70{\mu}m$. The minimum focal size of the electron beam was $40{\mu}m$ at an anode angle of $15^{\circ}$. The focused X-ray tube of many variables depended on the thermionic emission of hot electrons from the target trajectory. The focusing tube will contribute to the real design of X-ray for the development of future diagnosis medical device.

의료용 X-ray는 과거 analog 방식과, 연구가 진행 중이며 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 digital 방식으로 나누어진다. 최근, 광도전체와 형광체 기반의 flat panel X-ray detector의 발전에 따른 상용화가 이루어지고 있으며, 많은 발전 가능성이 제기되고 있다. flat panel X-ray detector 검출방식은 direct method (직접 방식)와 indirect method (간접 방식)로 나누어진다. 본 연구는 일반적으로 상용화 되어있는 amorphous seleinum (비정질 셀레늄)의 큰 일함수에 의한 저 해상력이라는 단점을 보완하기 위해, 작은 일함수를 가지는 물질을 사용하여, 영상을 얻을 시에 높은 해상력으로 표현할 수 있도록 하고, 원자번호가 높은 물질을 사용하여 X-ray 흡수율을 높일 수 있도록 기존 direct method에 많이 사용되고 있는 amorphous seleinum 기반 digital X-ray detector가 아닌, 이러한 장점을 충족시킬 수 있는 PbI2 물질 층을 사용하여 시편을 제작 하였다. PbI2를 같은 두께로 올린 후, 물질 층 상부에 Au 전극 면적을 다른 size로 제작한 시편으로 X-ray에 노출 시켰다. 이는 상부 전극 size 차이에 따른 신호 차이를 측정하여 전기적 특성을 평가하기 위한 것이다. 전도성을 띠고 있는 ITO (Indium - Tin - Oxide) glass를 이용하여 screen printing 방법으로 제작하였다. PbI2층을 약 160~180 um두께, $3cm{\times}3cm$ size로 5개 제작하였으며, 상부 전극으로는 Au를 진공 증착 시켰다. 상부 전극 size는 각각 시편 5개에 $0.5cm{\times}0.5cm$, $1cm{\times}1cm$, $1.5cm{\times}1.5cm$, $2cm{\times}2cm$, $2.5cm{\times}2.5cm$로 PbI2 물질 층 중앙에 증착 시켰다. 이러한 설정으로 X-ray 노출 시 관찰할 수 있는 PbI2의 전기적인 특성을 평가할 수 있었다. 관전압을 40 kVp, 60 kVp, 80 kVp, 100 kVp, 120 kVp, 140 kVp로 설정하고, 관전류는 100 mA로 설정하였으며, Dark current, Sensitivity를 측정하였다. Dark current와 Sensitivity를 측정한 뒤, 그 값을 이용하여 SNR (신호 대 잡음 비)값을 구해보았다.실험 결과 단위면적당 signal과 SNR을 분석할 수 있었다. 80 kVp로 기준을 잡고 결과 값을 보면 $0.5cm{\times}0.5cm$ 시편에서 2.92 nC/cm2, $2.5cm{\times}2.5cm$ 시편에서 0.84 nC/cm2로 상부 전극 크기가 작을수록 더 좋은 신호를 측정할 수 있었다. 똑같은 기준에서 SNR을 계산 해 보았을 때, $0.5cm{\times}0.5cm$ 시편에서 6.46, $2.5cm{\times}2.5cm$ 시편에서 1.91로 SNR역시 상부 전극 크기가 작을수록 더 큰 값을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 edge-effect의 영향으로 인해 나온 결과라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 실험 결과, detector 제작 시, 같은 물질을 사용하여 더 높은 효율을 내기 위해서는 큰 size의 상부 전극 보다는 작은 size의 상부 전극을 증착 시키는 것이 전기적 특성을 더욱 효율적으로 평가할 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다.

As one of the methods to ameliorate the ray effects which are the nature of anomalous computational effects due to the discretization of the angular variable in discrete ordinates approximations, a computational program, named TWODET (TWO dimensional Discrete Element Transport), has developed in 2 dimensional cartesian coordinates system using the discrete elements method, in which the discrete angle quadratures are steered by the spatially dependent angular fluxes. The results of the TWODET calculation with K-2, L-3 discrete angular quadratures, in the problem of a centrally located, isotropically emitting flat source in an absorbing square, are shown to be more accurate than that of the DOT 4.3 calculation with S-10 full symmetry angular quadratures, in remedy of the ray effect at the edge flux distributions of the square. But the computing time of the TWODET is about 4 times more than that of the DOT 4.3. In the problem of vacuum boundaries just outside of the source region in an absorbing square, the results of the TWODET calculation are shown severely anomalous ray effects, due to the sudden discontinuity between the source and the vacuum, like as the results of the DOT 4.3 calculation. In the probelm of an external source in an absorbing square in which a highly absorbing medium is added, the results of the TWODET calculation with K-3, L-4 show a good ones like as, somewhat more than, that of the DOT 4.3 calculation with S-10.

Breast cancer is the most frequently appearing cancer in women, these days. To reduce mortality of breast cancer, periodic check-up is strongly recommended. X-ray mammography is one of powerful diagnostic imaging systems to detect 50~100 um micro-calcification which is the early sign of breast cancer. Although x-ray mammography has very high spatial resolution, it is not easy yet to distinguish cancerous tissue from normal tissues in mammograms and new tissue characterizing methods are required. Recently ultrasound elastography technique has been developed, which uses the phenomenon that cancerous tissue is harder than normal tissues. However its spatial resolution is not enough to detect breast cancer. In order to develop a new elastography system with high resolution we are developing x-ray elasticity imaging technique. It uses the small differences of tissue positions with and without external breast compression and requires an algorithm to detect tissue displacement. In this paper, computer simulation is done for preliminary study of x-ray elasticity imaging. First, 3D x-ray breast phantom for modeling woman's breast is created and its elastic model for FEM (finite element method) is generated. After then, FEM experiment is performed under the compression of the breast phantom. Using the obtained displacement data, 3D x-ray phantom is deformed and the final mammogram under the compression is generated. The simulation result shows the feasibility of x-ray elasticity imaging. We think that this preliminary study is helpful for developing and verifying a new algorithm of x-ray elasticity imaging.

In this study we have derived the two correction methods of hydrogen bonding distance. In case of the intermediate or long hydrogen bond(＞2.5 $\AA$), hydrogen bonding distances can be corrected by using the function d(O-H)=exp((2.173-d(O…O))/0.138)+0.958 obtained by least- squares fit to the data from the neutron diffraction at low temperatures. The valence-least-squares method is effective for the distance correction of very short hydrogen bond(<2.5 $\AA$). The distance correction is necessary for the long intermolecular hydrogen bond obtained from X-ray diffraction analysis.
