Bayesian reconstruction methods for emission computed tomography have been a topic of interest in recent years, partly because they allow for the introduction of prior information into the reconstruction problem. Early formulations incorporated priors that imposed simple spatial smoothness constraints on the underlying object using Gibbs priors in the form of four-nearest or eight-nearest neighbors. While these types of priors, known as "membrane" priors, are useful as stabilizers in otherwise unstable ML-EM reconstructions, more sophisticated prior models are needed to model underlying source distributions more accurately. In this work, we investigate whether the "thin plate" model has advantages over the simple Gibbs smoothing priors mentioned above. To test and compare quantitative performance of the reconstruction algorithms, we use Monte Carlo noise trials and calculate bias and variance images of reconstruction estimates. The conclusion is that the thin plate prior outperforms the membrane prior in terms of bias and variance.

TMJ reconstruction is one of the most challenging surgical treatment, and many methods using autogenous and alloplastic materials have been reported for making neocondyle. Although alloplastic materials which include aclylic, synthetic and total joint system are recently widely used, many surgeons agree that autogenous TMJ reconstruction is gold standard until now. In this article, classification of the TMJ defects and the various TMJ reconstruction methods using autogenous source were introduced with review of literature.

Time-encoded imagers (TEI) are important class of instruments to search for potential radioactive sources to prevent illicit transportation and trafficking of nuclear materials and other radioactive sources. The energy of the radiation cannot be known in advance due to the type and shielding of source is unknown in practice. However, the response function of the time-encoded imagers is related to the energy of neutrons or gamma-rays. An improved image reconstruction method based on MLEM was proposed to correct for the energy induced response difference. In this method, the count vector versus time was first smoothed. Then, the preset response function was adaptively corrected according to the measured counts. Finally, the smoothed count vector and corrected response were used in MLEM to reconstruct the source distribution. A one-dimensional dual-particle time-encode imager was developed and used to verify the improved method through imaging an Am-Be neutron source. The improvement of this method was demonstrated by the image reconstruction results. For gamma-ray and neutron images, the angular resolution improved by 17.2% and 7.0%; the contrast-to-noise ratio improved by 58.7% and 14.9%; the signal-to-noise ratio improved by 36.3% and 11.7%, respectively.

무선 센서 네트워크는 센서 필드 상의 이벤트에 관한 데이터를 소스로부터 싱크로 수집하기 위해 연구되어왔다. 멀티패스 라우팅은 노드나 링크 단절에 의해 소스에서 싱크로의 패스가 종종 손실되는 문제에 대해 신뢰성 있는 데이터전송을 위한 매력적인 방안 중 하나이다. 사람이나 동물 혹은 차량 등과 같은 모바일 이벤트 상황에서, 소스는 이 모바일 이벤트의 이동에 따라 연속적으로 소스가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 멀티패스 라우팅에서 모바일 이벤트의 상황은 새로운 도전 과제를 제시한다. 그러나 기존의 멀티패스 라우팅 연구는 주로 소스들에서 정적인 싱크로 효율적인 멀티패스 구성과 패스 단절에 대한 빠른 멀티패스 재구성에 초점을 두었다. 따라서 이전 멀티패스 라우팅 프로토콜은 모바일 이벤트에 의해 발생하게 되는 연속적인 각각의 소스들이 소스에서 싱크로 각각의 멀티패스를 필요로 한다. 이는 이전 방안이 소스의 수에 비례하여 멀티패스 구성비용이 증가게 한다. 따라서 우리는 모바일 이벤트에 의해 연속적으로 발생하게 되는 소스를 지원하는 효율적인 멀티패스 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 제안방안에서 이전 소스에서 만들어 놓은 기존의 멀티패스를 이용함으로써, 새로운 소스가 효율적으로 재구성을 할 수 있다. 이를 위해, 제안방안은 지역적 멀티패스 재구성, 광역적 부분 멀티패스 재구성, 광역적 전체 멀티 패스 재구성의 세 방안 중 하나를 선택한다. 이 선택을 위해 우리는 멀티패스 재구성 비용과 데이터 포워딩 비용의 합을 계산하는 분석적인 에너지 소비 비용 모델을 제시한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 모바일 이벤트의 상황에서 멀티패스 라우팅을 할 때 제안방안이 기존의 방안보다 우수한 성능을 보였다.

Background: Source material used to fill calvarial defects includes autologous bones and synthetic alternatives. While autologous bone is preferable to synthetic material, autologous reconstruction is not always feasible due to defect size, unacceptable donor-site morbidity, and other issues. Today, advanced three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques allow for fabrication of titanium implants customized to the exact need of individual patients with calvarial defects. In this report, we present three cases of calvarial reconstructions using 3D-printed porous titanium implants. Methods: From 2013 through 2014, three calvarial defects were repaired using custom-made 3D porous titanium implants. The defects were due either to traumatic subdural hematoma or to meningioma and were located in parieto-occipital, fronto-temporo-parietal, and parieto-temporal areas. The implants were prepared using individual 3D computed tomography (CT) data, Mimics software, and an electron beam melting machine. For each patient, several designs of the implant were evaluated against 3D-printed skull models. All three cases had a custom-made 3D porous titanium implant laid on the defect and rigid fixation was done with 8 mm screws. Results: The custom-made 3D implants fit each patient's skull defect precisely without any dead space. The operative site healed without any specific complications. Postoperative CTs revealed the implants to be in correct position. Conclusion: An autologous graft is not a feasible option in the reconstruction of large calvarial defects. Ideally, synthetic materials for calvarial reconstruction should be easily applicable, durable, and strong. In these aspects, a 3D titanium implant can be an optimal source material in calvarial reconstruction.

본 연구는 디지털 단층영상합성장치에서 재구성 필터, X-선원 이동궤적 및 이동간격이 화질에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 임상적 검증을 수행하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 필터링후역투영법 재구성 시 Ramp, Shepp-Logan, Cosine, Hamming, Hann 및 Blackman 필터를 사용하였고, X-선원 이동궤적의 변화를 위해 1 × 36, 2 × 18, 3 × 12, 4 × 9 및 6 × 6 배열 형태의 이동궤적을 모사하였다. X-선원 이동간격에 따른 영향을 평가하기 위해 X-선원간 거리를 5, 10, 20, 30 및 40 mm로 변화시켰다. 재구성 영상의 깊이분해능, 공간분해능 및 잡음을 평가하기 위해 인공물확산함수, 반치폭 및 신호대잡음비를 측정하였다. 연구결과 Ramp 및 Blackman 필터를 사용하였을 때 각각 공간분해능 및 잡음 특성이 최대화 되었으며, X-선원 이동궤적의 형태가 1 × 36일 때 깊이분해능과 잡음 특성이 가장 우수하였다. 또한 X-선원 이동간격이 증가함에 따라 깊이분해능 및 잡음 특성은 향상되었고, 공간분해능은 저하되었다. 따라서 디지털 단층영상합성장치를 통한 3차원 영상획득 시 재구성 필터, X-선원 이동궤적 및 이동간격이 화질에 미치는 영향은 각기 다르며, 진단 목적에 부합하는 조건 설정이 필요하다.

A fast gamma-ray dose rate assessment method for complex geometries based on stylized model reconstruction and point-kernel method is proposed in this paper. The complex three-dimensional (3D) geometries are imported as a 3DS format file from 3dsMax software with material and radiometric attributes. Based on 3D stylized model reconstruction of solid mesh, the 3D-geometrical solids are automatically converted into stylized models. In point-kernel calculation, the stylized source models are divided into point kernels and the mean free paths (mfp) are calculated by the intersections between shield stylized models and tracing ray. Compared with MCNP, the proposed method can implement complex 3D geometries visually, and the dose rate calculation is accurate and fast.

To develop computational thinking skills, university students are learning how to solve problems with algorithms, program commands and grammar, and program writing. Because non-computer majors have difficulty with computer programming-related content, they need a learning method to acquire coding knowledge from the process of understanding, interpreting, changing, and improving source codes by themselves. This study explored clone coding, refactoring coding, and coding methods using reconstruction tools, which are practical and effective learning methods for improving coding skills for students who are accustomed to coding. A coding learning process with the code reconstruction principle was designed to help non-computer majors use it to understand coding technology and develop their problem-solving ability and applied the coding technology learning method used in programmer education.

We introduce a spectral reconstruction method to enhance the spectral resolution in a static modulated Fourier-transform spectrometer. The optical-path difference and the interferogram in the focal plane, as well as the relationship of the interferogram and the spectrum, are discussed. Additionally, for better spectral reconstruction, applications of phase-error correction and apodization are considered. As a result, the transfer function of the spectrometer is calculated, and then the spectrum is reconstructed based on the relationship between the transfer function and the interferogram. The spectrometer comprises a modified Sagnac interferometer. The spectral reconstruction is conducted with a source with central wave number of 6,451 cm^-1 and spectral width of 337 cm^-1. In a conventional Fourier-transform method the best spectral resolution is 27 cm^-1, but by means of the spectral reconstruction method the spectral resolution improved to 8.7 cm^-1, without changing the interferometric structure. Compared to a conventional Fourier-transform method, the spectral width in the reconstructed spectrum is narrower by 20 cm^-1, and closer to the reference spectrum. The proposed method allows high performance for static modulated Fourier-transform spectrometers.
