본 연구에서는 Photoconductor materials 기반의 평판형 X-ray Detector film 제작에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 기존의 광도전성 물질로 사용되어 오던 비정질 셀레늄(Amorphous seleinum; a-Se) 기반의 디지털 방사선 검출기 보다 높은 신호 및 동작 특성을 가지는 Mercury Iodide(HgI2)와 열적, 전기적 특성이 안정적이며, 소자의 동작특성이 우수한 Lead Oxide(PbO) 기반의 X-ray Detector film의 개발에 있어서 각각 HgI2 및 PbO 두 물질 층을 적정비율에 맞추어 제작함으로써 최적의 X-ray Detector를 구현하고자 하였다. 이는 빠른 영상획득을 통해 기존의 방식이 가지는 문제점을 해결하고 의료기기 디지털화를 구현할 수 있는 차세대 시스템을 개발하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 진공증착법의 두꺼운 대면적 필름의 제조가 어려운 문제점을 해결하고자 Particle In Binder method(PIB) 방법을 이용하여 $3"{\times}3"$사이즈의 두께 $200{\mu}m$의 다결정의 Photoconductor 필름을 제조하여 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 제작된 필름의 전기적 특성을 dark current, X-선 sensitivity와 SNR(Signal to -Noise Rate) 등을 측정하여 정량적으로 평가 하였다. 기준 실험으로 진행한 DG 2.1 바인더를 사용한 single-HgI2 층에서 보다 높은 sensitivity 값을 보였지만 높은 dark current로 인해 SNR이 떨어지는 결과를 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 두 Photoconductor material의 Soaking method를 이용한 실험에서는 single-HgI2에 해당하는 높은 sensitivity 및 저감된 dark current로 인해 높은 SNR 값을 획득하였다. 하지만 습도와 같은 주변 환경에 의한 재현성 문제로 인한 신호값의 불안정성에 대한 문제점도 남아 있으므로, 차후 최적화된 material 제작 공정을 위한 연구가 꾸준히 진행 되어져야 할 것이다.

As the IAEA has applied integrated safeguards and a state level approach to member states, the importance of national inspection has increased. However, the requirements for national inspection for some member states are different from the IAEA safeguards. In particular, the national inspection for the ROK requires on-site U concentration analysis due to a domestic notification. This research proposes an on-site U concentration analysis (OUCA) method for UO₂ pellets using gamma spectroscopy to satisfy the domestic notification requirement. The OUCA method calculates the U concentration of UO₂ pellets using the measured net X-ray counts and declared ²³⁵U enrichment. This research demonstrates the feasibility of the OUCA method using both MCNP simulation and experiment. It simulated and measured the net X-ray counts of different UO₂ pellets with different U concentrations and ²³⁵U enrichments. The simulated and measured net X-ray counts were fitted to polynomials as a function of U concentration and ²³⁵U enrichment. The goodness-of-fit results of both simulation and experiment demonstrated the feasibility of the OUCA method.

본 연구에서 하루 종일 컴퓨터 앞에 앉아 있는 직장인들과 스마트폰을 자주 사용하는 현대인들의 생활 패턴으로 인해 발생하는 대표적인 현대 질병인 척추측만증에 대해 연구했다. 척추측만증은 우리나라 전체 인구의 80% 이상이 한 번 이상 걸리는 전형적인 합병증이다. X-ray는 이러한 합병증을 검사하는 데 사용된다. 조영제나 다른 기구 없이도 흉부, 복부, 뼈 등 다양한 부위에서 척추측만증을 쉽게 수행하고 촬영할 수 있는 비파괴검사법 X-선 발생 장치와 NI DAQ를 이용해 디지털 X-선 영상 장치를 소형화하고, X-선 차폐함 안에 영상 증배관과 Vision Assistant를 활용해 X-선 영상을 획득해 척추 상하부에 선을 그려 실시간으로 각도, 즉 곡률 등을 측정한다. 이와 같이 척추측만증 환자의 상태를 쉽게 볼 수 있도록 돕고, 현대인의 자세교정 문제를 해결하고 신속한 치료를 돕기 위해 연구를 수행되었다.

이 연구에서는 X-선 회절법으로 측정한 수소결합의 거리를 보정하는 두 가지 방법을 제시하였다 O…O 거리가 2.5 $\AA$ 이상인 수소결합의 경우는 저온에서 측정한 중성자 회절에 의한 수소결합 데이터를 이용하여 얻은 최적화 곡선 식 d(O-H)=exp((2.173-d(O…O))/0.138)+0.958을 이용하여 수소결합 거리를 보정한다. O…O 거리가 2.5 $\AA$ 이하의 짧은 수소결합의 경우는 결합원자가 최적화 방법(valence-least-squares)을 이용하는 것이 효과적이다. X-선 회절분석으로 얻은 긴 O…O 거리를 갖는 분자간 수소결합의 경우는 수소결합의 거리보정을 해주어야 한다.

The half-value breadth off-ray diffraction profile line is generally used for a factor in nondestructive hardness measuring method of steel. In this paper, the problem in using the half-value breadth for the hardness measuring method is evaluated in strain hardened steel. And new hardness measuring method using residual stress is proposed X-ray diffraction test after rolling contact fatigue test of ball bearing with inner race of various hardness are carried out to measure the distribution of residual stress and half-value breadth from surface. The result of this study shows that there is little correlation between half-value breadth and hardness in the higher strength region and in the region increasing the hardness by strain hardening. But the magnitude of residual stress on/under race after rolling contact fatigue test becomes clearly to be correlative with hardness. Thus, it is concluded that the hardness of strain hardened steel can be estimated by this relationship between residual stress and hardness.

The objective of this study is to elucidate the feasibility of synchrotron X-ray micro CT as a non-destructive imaging method to visualize the three-dimensional morphological structures of biological and non-biological samples. The experiments were conducted in 7B2 X-ray micro CT beamline in Pohang Accelerate Laboratory (PAL). A rotational 3-axis stage was specially designed for $0^{\circ}-180^{\circ}$ scanning of test samples. Preliminary tests were performed for opaque samples including a mosquito head, a plant seed and gas diffusion layer (GDL) of polymer electrolyte fuel cell to verify the feasibility of the X-ray micro CT. It visualized clearly the internal structure of all the test samples, supporting its usefulness.

X-ray systems for medical treatment use noninvasive procedures. I fabricated a high tension generator of a full-wave rectification type using a LC resonant inviter. It is said that a full-wave rectifying X-ray equipment such as the fabricated system can shorten initiating period and be precision control because of stable output, compared with the X-ray equipment of a half wave rectifying type used in the usual clinical medicine. In order to evaluate the capability of the fabricated high tension generator, I performed exposure dose characteristics experiments.

The chest X-ray image cannot be focused in the same manner that optical lenses are and the resultant image generally tends to be slightly blurred. Therefore, the methods to improve the quality of chest X-ray image have been studied. In this paper, the inherent noises of the input images are suppressed by adding the Laplacian image to the original. First, the chest X-ray image using an Gaussian high pass filter and an optimal high frequency emphasis filter has shown improvements in the edges and contrast of flat areas. Second, using fuzzy logic_histogram equalization, each pixel of the chest X-ray image shows the normal distribution of intensities that are not overexposed. As a result, the proposed method has shown the enhanced edge and contrast of the images with the noise canceling effect.

Deep X-ray lithography (DXRL), a fabrication method for the production of microstructures with a high aspect ratio, plays an important role in the subsequent electroplanting process. However, secondary radiation is generated during X-ray exposure and damages the resist adhesion to the metal layer. To solve adhesion problems, we modified the conventional DXRL process, changing the sequence of polymer adhesion in DXRL process. With optimized X-ray exposure and development conditions based on a calculated and modified X-ray power spectrum, we fabricated various polymer microstructures and achieved a maximum aspect ratio of 40.

During the past few years, advances have been made in both in X-ray tube and detector technologies. The field of microfocus radioscopy has been established as an important testing process and has expanded into many new industrial applications that require quality control or process optimization. The first nanofocus and multifocus X-ray systems have become available with a focal spot of .5 micron. In the existing range of microfocus X-ray tubes, further improvements have been achieved as well, such as increased long term stability of intensity position constancy. Software, image processing and manipulation techniques have all progressed as well, allowing X-ray to become a formidable non-destructive inspection method for manufacturers in virtually every industry, especially those involved with Electronic Packaging and SMT.
