The characteristics of the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen (LM-6, Grenex-8) as compared with $CaWO_4$ intensifying screen had been studied utilizing several common x-ray films, and found the following results. 1. Compared with the conventional CaWO4 intensifying screen, the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen was found to be more sensitive over to 1.26-3.47 times. So the radiation exposure could be reduced to 1/1.26 -1/3.47. 2. Sharpness as well as the film speed were both increased. So the motion blurring and geometrical unsharpness could be decreased. 3. In spite of that the film speed was increased, photographic contrast was kept up. Therefore, the more ideal film of greater latitude could be obtained. 4. The effects of the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen would be much increased as using with orthochromatic x-ray films.

The author examined bone changes from 1274 poly tomographic images of 182 temporomandibular joints which showed symptoms of temporomandibular disorder and the following results were obtained; 1. The number of temporomandibular joints which showed bone changes were 64 (35.2％) among 182 joints. 2. The age and sex distribution of 64 joints which had bone changes showed the prevalence of female (90.6％) and third decade (25.0％) followed by fourth (21.2％) and second decade (17.2％). 3. The 252 images which showed bone changes consisted of 56 images from lateral side (22.2％). 118 images from center (46.8％) and 78 images from medial side (30.9％). 4. The most frequently observed bone changes were flattening (22.7％) followed by sclerosis (19.3％) and cortical unsharpness (19.3％)

The X-ray projection system has long been used for steel-tube inspection and weld monitoring. The thickness of tubes and welded areas is based on the evaluation of radiographic shadow projections. The traditional tangential measurement estimates the distance of border lines of the projected wall shadows of a tube onto a radiographic image detector. The detected image in which although there is a variety of noise may be sectioned into several partitions according to its specific blocks. Imaging noise originates from most of elements of the system, such as shielding CCD camera, imaging screen, X-ray source, inspected object, electronic circuits and etc. The tangential projection incorrectness and noise influence on imaging quality. In this paper we first sectionalize the X-ray image on the basis of vertical contrast difference. And next functional and statistic analysis are carried on at each region. Geometrical distance and unsharpness of the edge caused by visual evaluation uncertainties are also discussed.

현재 주로 사용되고 있는 디지털 방사선 검사용 검출기는 평면형의 구조를 가진 검출기로 이루어져 있어 곡률을 가진 검사 대상물의 디지털 방사선 검사 시 완전한 밀착이 불가능 하였다. 본 연구는 산업현장에서 배관 용접부를 대상으로 한 디지털 방사선 투과 검사 시 디지털 영상의 상질 개선을 위하여 곡률에 밀착이 가능한 커브드 형태의 검출기를 제작하였고, 공칭 두께가 각기 다른 6" 배관을 대상으로 평면형 검출기와 커브드 검출기를 사용한 디지털 방사선 영상을 획득하였다. 실험 결과, 평면형 검출기는 배관과 완전한 밀착이 되지 않아 배관 외곽부와 검출기 사이의 틈이 생기게 되고, 이로 인해 불선명도 차이가 생기면서 디지털 영상의 확산이 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 반면, 커브드형 검출기는 배관 외곽부와 검출기 사이의 틈을 최소화 하여 평면형 검출기에 비해 디지털 영상의 확산이 적은 것을 확인하였다. 영상의 확신이 클수록 상질의 저하 및 판독의 오류가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 검사 대상물과 밀착이 가능한 검출기의 사용시 기존 평면형 검출기 보다 양질의 영상을 획득 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

A transfer method of neutron radiography was developed to measure the size of the end plug and a gap of an intact K102L-2, the irradiated fuel of a ballooned K174L-3, a ballooned and ruptured K98L-3. A typical irradiation time of 25 min. was determined to obtain a film density of between 2 and 3 of SR X-ray film with neutrons of $1.5{\times}10^{11}n{\cdot}cm^{-2}$. To validate and calibrate the results, a RISO fuel standard sample, Cd plate and ASTM-BPI/SI were used. An activated latent image formed in the $100{\mu}m$ Dy foil was subsequently transferred in a dark room for more than 8 hours to the SR film which is a maximum of three half-lives. Due to the L/D ratio an unsharpness of $9.82-14{\mu}m$ and a magnification of 1.0003 were given. After digitizing an image of SR film, the ballooning gap of the plug was discernible by an H/V filter of image processing. The gap size of the ballooned element, K174L-3, is equal to or greater than 1.2 mm. The development of a transfer method played a pivotal role in developing high burn-up of Wolsung and PWR nuclear fuel type.

Telometer is a supplementary filming device that improves the image quality and minimizes the motion unsharpness by enhancing the reproducibility of diagnostic images because it applies constant pressure (force) to the affected area. The stress-radiogram which is widely used to provide the o-bjective quantitative stability of knee ligament is reported in literature as the most suitable method to evaluate the stability of ligament and it is advised to use the Telometer. In order to evaluate the image reproducibility of the Telometer, the collateral ligament which is the most vulnerable among the ligaments consisting of the knee joint, the stress-radiogram was executed in the order of the Telometer, the push pull gauge and the conventional stress radiogram. Then, SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) for Windows 22.0 was used for comparison and evaluation. According to the results of comparison and evaluation, the standard errors and standard deviations became smaller in the order of the Telometer, the push pull gauge, the conventional stress radiogram while the image reproducibility was higher in the order of the Telometer, the push pull gauge, the conventional stress radiogram. Therefore, it is considered that the use of the TELOS for stress-radiogram would enhance the quality of patient diagnostic images and the work performance of radiologists.
