The existing X-ray generators are either ones which are settled at fixed places or ones which are movable to sick rum. Movable generators can be very useful according to the circumstances of patients, but there remains a restraint that AC220[V] in the hospitals must be provided. When examining a first-aid patient who stays distant from the hospital or when grouping patients caused by disaster, the services of doctors at emergency centers should be very restrictive. Hence, this study developed a portable digital X-ray power supply unit that are utilizable at the accident spot or in a moving ambulance. By using the nit, the information of patients can be transmitted to the emergency center on the spot and thereby doctors can make a correct diagnosis. The properties of the unit are as follows: First, portable batteries(DCl2[V]) are utilized as electric source for the wit. Second PIC16F84A is utilized as control circuit in order to guarantee considerable reliance and to provide various functions. This portable digital X-ray power supply unit is expected to contribute to the emergency medical service system to be more advanced.

The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of X-ray generators installed in hospitals and universities and apply the quality control items of diagnostic X-ray generators to recognize the importance of periodic performance management. First, the reproducibility and linearity test results showed that the PAE of the reproducibility evaluation was high for the GX-650 devices that met the acceptance criteria in all the experimental conditions and lacked the periodic quality control. In the linearity evaluation, when the tube voltage was set to 100 kVp, It was measured to deviate from the error. In addition, it was found that the PAE in the low-accuracy evaluation results relative to an X-ray tube voltage and tube current of the device low occurrence frequency. The HVL experiment was included in all of the devices at the HVL by tube voltage. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the importance of quality control of all devices rather than hospital and laboratory, and to manage the device performance by actively managing the device, and to establish a short - term quality control system like special medical devices.

In this paper, including the X-ray high voltage resonant inverter generators and high frequency high voltage transformer operating systems is proposed. X-ray generator removes the noise and was smaller, 50[kHz] to work more with the driving frequencies, and that occurred when the normal power supply available due to noise, survey the conditions and solve the problems of the poor was a problem. In addition, X-ray tube voltage, frequency controllers and tube current controller filament heating voltage transformer for high frequency transformer design and manufacture of doing X-ray devices were to become more efficient operation.

The X-ray device used for medical treatment is classified into fixed type that is used by installing at the location with the stable power supply and mobile type that can be taken by moving the X-ray device to the location where a patient is. Mobile X-ray device which is typically used in the mobile type of X-ray can be used very usefully beyond the space restriction. However, due to its difficulty to generate high-voltage, it is mainly applied to take hand and foot shootings which only need low output power. In this study, by designing and producing the large volume of mobile X-ray device which doesn't have the limitations on diagnostic areas of the body, the operating characteristics of device according to the loading change was identified.

본 논문은 회전형 대용량의 진단 X-선 발생장치를 모노 블록 형태로 설계, 병원의 모바일 진단장치나, 산업용 X-선 장치로의 적용이 가능한 16kw급 X-선 발생장치에 관한 연구이다. 본 장치는 X-선 발생을 위한 고전압 발생부에 회전형 Anode 형의 X-선관을 사용하였고, X-선관의 로터를 구동할 수 있는 로터 구동회로를 추가 하였다. 고주파 고전압용 인버터에는 IGBT(600/300A)를 100kHz로 고주파 스위칭 함으로서 고전압 변압기를 비롯한 고전압 발생부의 크기와 무게를 최소화하였다. 또한, 기존의 16kw급 대용량 진단 X-선 발생장치를 X-선관과 고전압부를 일체화한 모노블록 형태로 설계, 제작하여 부하변동에 따른 X-선 관전압과 관전류의 동작특성을 실험을 통하여 입증하였다.

In this paper, we presents a sensor calibration technique using stereo X-ray images to provide efficient inspection of fast moving cargo objects. Stereo X-ray scanned images are acquired from a specially designed equipment which consists of a X-ray source, dual-linear array detector, and a conveyor system. Dual detector is installed so that rectified stereo X-ray images of objects are acquired. Using the stereo X-ray images, we carry out a sensor calibration to find the correspondences between the images and reconstruct 3-D shapes of real objects. Using the Image acquired from the stereo detectors with varying distances, we calculated the GCP(ground control point)of the image. And we figure out the error by comparing calculated GCP and GCP of the real object. The experimental results show the proposed technique can enhance the accuracy of stereo matching and give more efficient visualization for cargo inspection image.

In this paper, we propose an DAP system for dose evaluation of medical and industrial X-ray generator. Based on the DAP measurement technique using the Ion-Chamber, the proposed system can clearly measure the exposure radiation dose generated by the diagnostic X-ray apparatus. The hardware part of the DAP measures the amount of charge in the air that is captured by an X-ray. The high-speed processing algorithm part for cumulative radiation dose measurement through microcurrent measures the amount of charge captured by X-ray at a low implementation cost (power) with no input loss. The wired/wireless transmission/reception protocol part synchronized with the operation of the X-ray generator improves communication speed. The PC-based control program part for interlocking and aging measures the amount of X-ray generated in real time and enables measurement graphs and numerical value monitoring through PC GUI. As a result of evaluating the performance of the proposed system in an accredited testing laboratory, the measured values using DAP increased linearly in each energy band (30, 60, 100, 150 kV). In addition, since the standard deviation of the measured value at the point of 4 division was ${\pm}1.25%$, it was confirmed that the DAP showed uniform measurements regardless of location. It was confirmed that the normal operation was not less than ${\pm}4.2%$ of the international standard.

X-ray equipment used to diagnose a patient has a big defect of a patient's exposure to radiation caused in irradiating X-ray to the human body, ICRP restricts the permissible exposure dose of the human body. A number of studies has been proceeded to reduce these exposures. In this study the high voltage generator with inverter system, which is possible to increase the generation efficiency of X-ray and to control the precise output power was produced. Also, to minimize the ripple which is possible to occur in the direct voltage that is applied to X-ray tube the propagation rectification method was applied and the radiation reproducibility and properties were evaluated to use this for the diagnosis of patient.

제품의 고성능 사양을 위해 초미소 크기(Nano Size)의 구조를 갖는 제품들이 일상에서 자주 등장한다. 대표 제품은 주변에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 전자제품의 반도체 칩이다. 반도체 칩 소자 구조는 크기를 줄이는 것 외에도 적층을 통해 소자의 집적도를 높이는 방향으로 진화를 하고 있다. 복잡한 구조로 인해 발생되는 여러 반도체 결함 중에 TSV 결함은 현재 진화하는 반도체 칩의 구조를 대변하는 대표 결함이다. 이 결함을 효율적으로 검출하고 다루기 위해서는 초미소 크기(Nano Size)의 결함을 비파괴적인 방법으로 가시화하고 분석하는 장비가 필요하다. X-ray 시스템은 이러한 요구를 해결하는 훌룡한 한 방법이다. 이 논문에서는 X-ray 시스템의 구성 및 위의 TSV 결함을 검출하고 분석하기 위한 시스템의 특징에 대해 설명을 한다. X-ray 시스템은 크게 X선을 발생시키는 X선튜브와 대상 물체를 투과한 X선을 영상화하는 디텍터, 대상물체의 영상화를 위해 물체를 적절하게 구동시키는 이동장치로 구성되어 있다. 초미소크기(Nano Size)의 결함 검출을 위해서는 X선 튜브, 디텍터, 이동장치에 요구되는 사양의 복잡도, 정밀도는 이러한 시스템의 개발을 어렵게 만든다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 시스템을 개발 시에 시스템 핵심 요소의 특징을 분석한다.
