This study was performed to prepare the quantitative method of judging the sensitive prognosis of chronic apical periodontitis as early as possible. The subjects were 25 cases with periapical radiolucencies of which were treated with endodontic treatment. Serial radiographs were taken by standardized method longitudinally. The density slice function of digital radiographic system were employed for quantitative and longitudinal assessment of the radiolucent area and the condensing osteitis simultaneously. Obtained results were as follows: 1. The amount of bone repair after endodontic treatment could be detected quantitatively by the density slice function of digital radiographic system. 2. Within the 6-week period after root canal filling, the prognosis could be evaluated by assessment both radiolucent area and condensing osteitis on digital radiographic system. 3. The pattern of bone repair showed peripheral type in most cases from the 6th week after root canal filling. 4. In longitudinal change, bone repair showed two patterns; the succeeding reduction of radiolucent area showing the increase of condensing osteitis in size till 6th week and following by static state or reduction tendency and the reduction following the initial increase of both areas. 5. Cases with pulpitis by trauma showed initial increase of condensing osteitis at 2nd week, marked reduction of radiolucent area and condensing osteitis at 6th week, and approximately normal bone state at 8th week after root canal filling.

본 연구에서는 자연치아 주위 골조직의 미세 변화를 검출하는 의료영상처리 기술에 대한 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 먼저, 입력되는 두장의 디지털 방사선 영상에서 자연치아의 형태 분석을 통하여 자연치아의 외곽선 및 직선선분을 검출하고, 검출된 외곽선 및 직선선분을 이용하여 예상되는 환부영역(관심영역)을 분리한다. 분리된 환부영역을 중심으로 에지기반 정합을 통한 영상정렬을 수행함으로써 기존의 관심영역이외의 영역에서 오류 정보가 표시되는 문제점을 해결하고, 또한 기존의 수동적인 방법을 통한 결과의 객관성 및 정확성에 대한 문제를 해결하였다. 실험 결과, 신속하고 정확하게 자연치아 주위의 미세 변화에 대한 검출이 가능하였고, 보다 객관적이고 정량적인 결과를 제시할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

본 논문에서는 조영 영상을 받아들여 관상동맥을 효과적으로 추출하는 방법을 소개한다. 혈관 추출에 일반적으로 사용되는 디지털 혈관조영술(DSA : Digital Subtraction Angiography)은 조영제 투입 전에 촬영된 마스크 영상과 조영제 투입 후의 혈관 대비가 나타나는 라이브 영상과의 차이를 이용하여 빠르게 혈관 영역만을 검출하는 방법이다. 그러나 이 방법은 배경의 움직임에 민감하고 두 영상간의 지역적인 배경 명암 분포의 변화에 따라 오 검출이 발생할 수 있다는 단점을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배경 텍스쳐의 유사도를 분석하여 움직임의 차이가 가장 작은 영상을 선택함으로써 배경의 움직임에 기인하는 구조적인 문제를 해결하고, 선택된 영상의 지역적 명암 보정을 통해 혈관 영역만을 효과적으로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과는 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법보다 오 인식률은 감소하고 정확도는 증가함을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 TeakLite DSP 프로세서를 이용하여 캠코더에서 레코딩을 할 때 모터 소음과 주변 잡음이 입력되어 오디오 신호의 명료도가 떨어지는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 잡음 제거 기법의 실시간 구현에 대해서 기술하고자 한다. 잡음 제거를 위해서는 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 Spectral Subtraction 기법을 사용하였다. 알고리즘 구현시 MIPS 감소에 효과적이었던 최적화 기법들을 적용하여 TeakLite DSP 프로세서에서 최적화되어 동작하도록 하였다. 최적화된 Spectral Subtraction 어셈블리 코드는 TeakLite DSP 프로세서에서 32 kHz, 16 bit 입력에 대해 40 MIPS에서 동작하였다.

Rapidly developed de novo aneurysm is very rare. We present a rapidly developed and ruptured de novo anterior communicating aneurysm 8 days after the rupture of another aneurysm. This de novo aneurysm was not apparent in the initial 3-dimensional computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography. We reviewed the literature and discussed possible mechanisms for the development of this de novo aneurysm.

Digital Subtraction Angiography(DSA) technique has been widely used to detect vascular diseases and hemodynamic parameters noninvasively. However, there factors in fluencing the resultant DSA image quality. In this paper, several important factors are suggested to improve the DSA image quality based on mathematicical analysis. Experimental DSA images for different filters are shown and also dicussed the difference between original and processed image qualities.

In this paper, we propose a concrete crack detection method using shape properties. It is based on morphology algorithm and crack features. We assume that an input image is contaminated by various noises. Thus, we use a morphology operator and extract patterns of crack. It segments cracks and background using opening and closing operations. Morphology based segmentation is better than existing integration methods using subtraction in detecting a crack it has small width. Also, it is robust to noisy environment. The proposed algorithm classifies the segmented image into crack and background using shape properties of crack. This method calculates values of properties such as the number of pixels and the maximum length of the segmented region. Also, pixel counts of clusters are considered. We decide whether the segmented region belongs to cracks according to those data. Experimental results show that our proposed crack detection method has better results than those by existing detection methods.

Purpose : The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the diagnostic ability of a CCD-based digital system (CDX-2000HQ) in the detection of incipient dental caries. Materials and Methods : 93 extracted human teeth with sound proximal surfaces and interproximal artificial cavities were radiographed using 4 imaging methods. Automatically processed No.2 Insight film (Eastman Kodak Co., U.S.A.) was used for conventional radiography, scanned images of conventional radiograms for indirect digital radiography were used. For the direct digital radiography, the CDX-2000HQ CCD system (Biomedisys Co. Korea) was used. The subtraction images were made from two direct digital images by Sunny program in the CDX-2000HQ system. Two radiologists and three endodontists examined the presence of lesions using a five-point confidence scale and compared the diagnostic ability by ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) analysis and one way ANOV A test. Results: The mean ROC areas of conventional radiography, indirect digital radiography, direct digital radiography, and digital subtraction radiography were 0.9093, 0.9102, 0.9184, and 0.9056, respectively. The diagnostic ability of direct digital radiography was better than the other imaging modalities, but there were no statistical differences among these imaging modalities (p > 0.05). Coclusion : These results indicate that new CCD-based digital systems (CDX-2000HQ) have the potential to serve as an alternative to conventional radiography in the detection of incipient dental caries.
