The most comprehensive and particularly reliable method for non-destructively measuring the residual stress of the surface layer of metals is the sin²ψ method. When X-rays were used the relationship of ε_φψ-sin²ψ measured on the surface layer of the processing metal did not show linearity when the sin²ψ method was used. In this case, since the effective penetration depth changes according to the changing direction of the incident X-ray, σ_φ becomes a sin²ψ function. Since σ_φ cannot be used as a constant, the relationship in ε_φψ-sin²ψ cannot be linear. Therefore, in this paper, the orthogonal function method according to Warren's diffraction theory and the basic profile of normal distribution were synthesized, and the X-ray diffraction profile was calculated and reviewed when there was a linear strain (stress) gradient on the surface. When there is a strain gradient, the X-ray diffraction profile becomes asymmetric, and as a result, the peak position, the position of half-maximum, and the centroid position show different values. The difference between the peak position and the centroid position appeared more clearly as the strain (stress) gradient became larger, and the basic profile width was smaller. The weighted average strain enables stress analysis when there is a strain (stress) gradient, based on the strain value corresponding to the centroid position of the diffracted X-rays. At the 1/5 I_max max height of X-ray diffraction, the position where the diffracted X-ray is divided into two by drawing a straight line parallel to the background, corresponds approximately to the centroid position.

The clamp meter maintains electric safety as a non-invasive method while measuring the absolute value of tube current with it has been recently developed for an X-ray high-tension cable. Especially this can show high accuracy at short X-ray exposure time. Considering such a condition, this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a clamp meter in measuring X-ray tube current by taking the measurements and comparing with those of the Dynalyzer III which has been considered as a standard measuring device. From measuring the tube current accuracy depending on changes in tube voltage and exposure time, the clamp meter showed higher accuracy rate which was -1.3~4.2% difference. Thus clamp meter can be used for clinical radiologists who are not familiar electric circuit to manage X-ray devices easily and correctly in the future.

Recently, as the demand for physical security technology to prevent leakage of technical and business information of companies and public institutions increases, the high tech companies are operating X-ray security checkpoints at building entrances to protect their intellectual property and technology. X-ray security checkpoints are operated to detect cameras and storage media that may store or leak important technologies in the bags of people entering and leaving the building. In this study, we propose an X-ray security checkpoint system that automatically detects a storage medium in an X-ray image using a deep learning based object detection method. The proposed system consists of an edge computing unit and a cloud-computing unit. We employ the RetinaNet for automatic storage media detection in the X-ray security checkpoint images. The proposed approach achieved mAP of 95.92% on private dataset.

본 연구에서는 치핑작업중에 콘크리트에 발생할 수 있는 손상균열을 정량분석하기 위해 X-ray CT 이미지를 이용하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 치핑작업을 수행한 후, 균열이 발생한 콘크리트 블록을 코어링하여 직경 50 mm, 길이 100 mm의 시편을 준비하였다. 그 후 마이크로 포커스 X-ray CT 촬영을 하여 얻은 이미지를 3D 이미지로 재구성(reconstruction)하였다. 이렇게 얻어진 3D CT 이미지에 3DMA (3 Dimensional Medial axis Analysis)법을 적용하여, 손상 평가 파라메타로 시편의 위치에 따라 균열의 성질을 평가하여 손상을 분석하였다. 분석결과 치핑에 의한 손상은 치핑 표면으로부터 3 cm 깊이까지 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 CT이미지 공간분석법에서 사용되는 여러 파라메타 중 공극률 지표(Porosity index), Burn number 그리고 Medial axis 의 파라메타를 이용해 치핑표면 근처의 손상 분석이 가능하다는 것이 확인되었다. 이 방법은 내부구조에 변화가 발생한 암석을 대상으로 한 연구에서도 비파괴 상태로 내부의 균열 평가, 가시화에 적용가능하다.

X-ray를 기반으로 하는 장 폐색 진단 방법은 검사자의 주관적인 요소가 포함되기 때문에 객관적 진단에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 허프 변환과 PCM 클러스터링 기법을 적용하여 장폐색 영역을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 X-ray 장폐색 영상에서 ROI 영역을 추출한 후, 허프 변환 기법을 이용하여 ROI 영역에서 직선을 검출하고, 검출된 직선을 이용하여 공기 액체층의 형태학적 특징을 이용하여 대장 폐색을 추출한다. 그리고 추출된 ROI 영역을 PCM 클러스터링을 적용하여 ROI 영역을 양자화 한다. 양자화된 ROI 영역 중에서 대장 폐색의 특징이 포함된 클러스터의 그룹을 선정하고, 선정된 클러스터의 그룹에서 객체를 탐색하여 소장 장폐색 영역을 추출한다. 장폐색 환자의 X-ray 영상 30개를 대상으로 PCM 클러스터링을 적용한 결과, PCM의 초기 클러스터의 수를 4개로 설정한 경우가 장폐색 검출 성능이 우수하였고 TPR은 81.47%로 나타났다.

The computation of the solid angle and the detector efficiency is considering to be one of the most important factors during the measuring process for the radioactivity, especially the cylindrical γ-ray NaI(Tl) detectors nowadays have applications in several fields such as industry, hazardous for health, the gamma-ray radiation detectors grow to be the main essential instruments in radiation protection sector. In the present work, a generic numerical simulation method (NSM) for calculating the efficiency of the γ-ray spectrometry setup is established. The formulas are suitable for any type of source-to-detector shape and can be valuable to determine the full-energy peak and the total efficiencies and P/T ratio of cylindrical γ-ray NaI(Tl) detector setup concerning the truncated conical radioactive source. This methodology is based on estimate the path length of γ-ray radiation inside the detector active medium, inside the source itself, and the self-attenuation correction factors, which typically use to correct the sample attenuation of the original geometry source. The calculations can be completed in general by using extra reasonable and complicate analytical and numerical techniques than the standard models; especially the effective solid angle, and the detector efficiency have to be calculated in case of the truncated conical radioactive source studied condition. Moreover, the (NSM) can be used for the straight calculations of the γ-ray detector efficiency after the computation of improvement that need in the case of γ-γ coincidence summing (CS). The (NSM) confirmation of the development created by the efficiency transfer method has been achieved by comparing the results of the measuring truncated conical radioactive source with certified nuclide activities with the γ-ray NaI(Tl) detector, and a good agreement was obtained after corrections of (CS). The methodology can be unlimited to find the theoretical efficiencies and modifications equivalent to any geometry by essential sufficiently the physical selective considered situation.

In this paper, we propose a series of calibrations f3r the x-ray three dimensional imaging system. In the developed x-ray system, a three dimensional inner and outer shape of an object can be reconstructed out of two dimensional transmitted x-ray image set, which are acquired by projecting x-ray to the object from different views. To achieve this, a reconstruction algorithm which estimates and updates the three dimensional volume from x-ray images is developed. The algorithm is named as uniform and simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique(USART) which is an iterative method estimating a 3D volume based on its projected images. In this method, it is assumed that the imaging conditions that are the relative positions between the x-ray sources, object and the image planes are blown. Practically it is not easy to know the three dimensional coordinate of the components of the system, since the x-ray is not visible and the image distortions are present due to the optical components in the system. In this paper, methods of correcting image distortions are present firstly. Then the coordinates of the x-ray systems are calibrated from the x-ray images of the grid pattern. Some experimental results on these calibrations are present and discussed.

Image stitching method is a technique for obtaining an high-resolution image by combining two or more images. In X-ray image for clinical diagnosis, the size of the imaging region taken by one shot is limited due to the field-of-view of the equipment. Therefore, in order to obtain a high-resolution image including large regions such as a whole body, the synthesis of multiple X-ray images is required. In this paper, we propose a rapid stitching method of digital X-ray images using template-based registration. The proposed algorithm use principal component analysis(PCA) and k-nearest neighborhood(k-NN) to determine the location of input images before performing a template-based matching. After detecting the overlapping position using template-based matching, we synthesize input images by alpha blending. To improve the computational efficiency, reduced images are used for PCA and k-NN analysis. Experimental results showed that our method was more accurate comparing with the previous method with the improvement of the registration speed. Our stitching method could be usefully applied into the stitching of 2D or 3D multiple images.
