본 논문은 압축된 영상의 복원 과정에서 축소된 채도 정보를 휘도와 채도 성분의 상관관계를 이용하여 효율적으로 재구성하는 기법들에 대해 살펴보고, 기존에 계산 복잡도 측면에서 효율성을 보인 적응적 가중치를 가진 2차원 선형 보간법에 대해 문제점을 분석하였다. 그리고 본 논문은 2차원 선형 보간법에 대해 영상의 공간 주파수 분포를 고려하지 않는 문제점을 개선하고 저성능 시스템에 적용하기 위해 휘도 성분의 에지 반응도에 따라 계산 복잡도가 서로 다른 재구성 기법을 적용하는 다중 모드 재구성 기법을 제안하였으며, 임베디드 시스템 개발 플랫폼에서의 성능 평가 실험을 통해 유사한 수준의 복원 영상의 품질을 지원하면서 채도 재구성을 위한 계산 시간을 상대적으로 줄이고 있음을 확인하였다.

Background The latissimus musculocutaneous flap (LD flap) is a useful option for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. It has the advantage of obtaining sufficient tissue padding and natural shape by using autologous tissue. However, with the emergence of the skin-sparing mastectomy technique and artificial dermis matrix, direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction has become the first choice of surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare the satisfaction levels of patients who underwent DTI and LD flap with implant using patient-reported Breast-Q results. Methods A retrospective study was performed reviewing the records of 49 women who underwent immediate breast reconstruction with DTI or LD flap with implant and responded to the BREAST-Q questionnaire after the operation. The patient-reported breast-Q results were analyzed and correlated to the demographic information and intraoperative information. Results A total of 26 patients who underwent reconstruction with LD flap with implant and 23 patients with DTI were identified and responded to the questionnaire after an average of 32.3 and 10.4 months postoperation, respectively. According to the patient response to the breast-q values, satisfaction with breast was 60.0 and 57.0 points, psychosocial well-being 61.0 and 60.0 points, and sexual well-being 41.0 and 43.0 points in the two groups. Overall, there was no significant difference in the breastQ score between the two groups. Conclusion Patients who underwent DTI breast reconstruction seemed equally satisfied with the appearance and outcome of their breast reconstruction compared with LD flap with implant. Therefore, it appears that DTI is adequately replacing LD with implant.

Monitoring of impact loads is a very important technique in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM). However, in most cases it is not possible to measure impact events directly, so they need to be reconstructed. Impact load reconstruction refers to the problem of estimating an input to a dynamic system when the system output and the impulse response function are usually known. Generally this leads to a so called ill-posed inverse problem. It is reasonable to use prior knowledge of the force in order to develop more suitable reconstruction strategies and to increase accuracy. An impact event is characterized by a short time duration and a spatial concentration. Moreover the force time history of an impact has a specific shape, which also can be taken into account. In this contribution these properties of the external force are employed to create a sample-force-dictionary and thus to transform the ill-posed problem into a sparse recovery task. The sparse solution is acquired by solving a minimization problem known as basis pursuit denoising (BPDN). The reconstruction approach shown here is capable to estimate simultaneously the magnitude of the impact and the impact location, with a minimum number of accelerometers. The possibility of reconstructing the impact based on a noisy output signal is first demonstrated with simulated measurements of a simple beam structure. Then an experimental investigation of a real beam is performed.

서론: 종래의 PET 영상 재구성에 있어서 FBP 등에 비해 3차원 반복 재구성 방법이 일반적으로 대체하고 있으며, 이것은 검출기 기하학적 특성과 완벽한 3차원 산란 평가 및 저잡음 randoms 평가 등의 더 진보된 재구성 알고리즘을 제공하고 활용되고 있다. 최근에 SharpIR알고리즘은 3차원 반복 재구성 알고리즘으로 PET 검출기 응답 정보를 통합하여 PET 영상의 잡음을 효과적으로 감소시켜 대조도를 향상 시키기 위한 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 반복 시스템 모델인 SharpIR에 대한 성능 평가와 임상에서의 적용 가능성에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 실험재료 및 방법: 검출기 응답에 대한 분해능을 측정하기 위해 유리관(내경 1.1 mm, 두께 0.2 mm)에 $^{18}F$-FDG (250 MBq/mL)을 주입하여 축 방향 시야의 중심과 축 방향으로 5, 10, 15, 20 cm만큼 떨어진 지점에서 획득하였고 VUE point HD와 VUE point HD-SharpIR로 재구성하여 각각의 영상에서 반치폭을 구하였다. 또한 영상품질평가로 image quality phantom (NU2-2001)을 이용하여, 여러 개의 각각 다른 반지름을 가지는 원형구에 cold (직경 28, 37 mm)와 ho (직경 10, 13, 17, 22 mm)부분을 나누어 배경잡음을 주고 영상의 대조도를 평가하였다. 획득된 영상은 VUE point HD와 VUE point HD-SharpIR로 재구성을 하였다. 임상실험에서는 전신검사를 시행받은 환자 중 병소가 있는 환자 10명을 대상으로 VUE point HD와 VUE point HD-SharpIR로 재구성하였다. 이때 iterations을 1~10까지 변경하여 병소 부위와 간 부위에 관심영역을 설정하여 대조도를 평가하였다. 결과: VUE point HD로 재구성한 영상에서는 시야 중심으로부터 축방향 거리 증가와 함께 반치폭이 함께 증가하였지만 VUE point HD-SharpIR로 재구성한 영상에서는 거리가 증가하여도 일정한 반치폭을 나타냈다. 대조도는 팬텀 실험과 임상 실험에서 VUE point HD-SharpIR이 VUE point HD보다 대조도의 향상을 나타냈다. 결론: 검출기 시스템 응답에 대한 더 많은 정보를 포함시킴으로써 SharpIR 알고리즘은 VUE point HD에서 사용되는 기본 모델의 정확성을 향상시켰다. 또한 SharpIR은 VUE point HD보다 각각의 복셀에 관련된 더 많은 측정 위치를 가지는 시스템 모델이기 때문에 더욱 정교한 재구성 모델의 결과를 나타내기 위해 더 많은 반복이 걸린다. 결론적으로 SharpIR은 PET 영상에서 대조도를 향상시켰고 임상에서 적용할 수 있는 최적화된 재구성 조건을 알아보기 위해 종단적 연구를 통해 적용한다면 임상에서 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

For vibration control of civil structures, especially large civil structures, one of the important issues is how to place a minimal number of actuators and sensors at their respective optimal locations to achieve the predetermined control performance. In this paper, a methodology is presented for the determination of the minimal number and optimal location of actuators and sensors for vibration control of building structures under earthquake excitation. In the proposed methodology, the number and location of the actuators are first determined in terms of the sequence of performance index increments and the predetermined control performance. A multi-scale response reconstruction method is then extended to the controlled building structure for the determination of the minimal number and optimal placement of sensors with the objective that the reconstructed structural responses can be used as feedbacks for the vibration control while the predetermined control performance can be maintained. The feasibility and accuracy of the proposed methodology are finally investigated numerically through a 20-story shear building structure under the El-Centro ground excitation and the Kobe ground excitation. The numerical results show that with the limited number of sensors and actuators at their optimal locations, the predetermined control performance of the building structure can be achieved.

Following a transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous(TRAM) flap breast reconstruction, denervated state of the flap causes the flap skin prone to thermal injury, calling for special attention. During the last 5 years, 69 breast reconstruction with 72 free TRAM flaps, were performed. Four out of thesse 69 patients sustained burn injury. Heat sources were a warm bag(n=2), heating pad(n=1) and warming light (n=1). The thermal injuries occured from 2 days to 3 months following the reconstruction. Three patients healed with conservative treatment, but one patient required debridement and skin graft. Initially 3 out of 4 patients with the burn had shown superficial 2nd degree burn with small blebs or bullae. However all 4 patients healed with scars. Mechanism of burn injuries of the denervated flap are known to be resulting from; 1) loss of behavioral protection due to denervation of flap with flap elevation and transfer, 2) loss of autonomic thermoregulatory control with heat dissipation on skin flap vasculature contributing to susceptibility of burn injury. 3) changes of immunologic and normal inflammatory response increasing thromboxane, and a fall in substance P & NGF (nerve growth factor). Including the abdominal flap donor site, sensory recovery of the reconstructed breast varies individually from 6 month even to 5 years postoperatively. During this period, wound healing is delayed, resulting in easier scarring compared to that observed in the sensate skin. Patients should be carefully informed and warned of possible burn injuries and taught to avoid exposure to heat source at least until 3 years postoperatively.

Objective: To evaluate the image quality and lesion detectability of lower-dose CT (LDCT) of the abdomen and pelvis obtained using a deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm compared with those of standard-dose CT (SDCT) images. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 123 patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 63 ± 11 years; male:female, 70:53) who underwent contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic LDCT between May and August 2020 and had prior SDCT obtained using the same CT scanner within a year. LDCT images were reconstructed with hybrid iterative reconstruction (h-IR) and DLIR at medium and high strengths (DLIR-M and DLIR-H), while SDCT images were reconstructed with h-IR. For quantitative image quality analysis, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio, and contrast-to-noise ratio were measured in the liver, muscle, and aorta. Among the three different LDCT reconstruction algorithms, the one showing the smallest difference in quantitative parameters from those of SDCT images was selected for qualitative image quality analysis and lesion detectability evaluation. For qualitative analysis, overall image quality, image noise, image sharpness, image texture, and lesion conspicuity were graded using a 5-point scale by two radiologists. Observer performance in focal liver lesion detection was evaluated by comparing the jackknife free-response receiver operating characteristic figures-of-merit (FOM). Results: LDCT (35.1% dose reduction compared with SDCT) images obtained using DLIR-M showed similar quantitative measures to those of SDCT with h-IR images. All qualitative parameters of LDCT with DLIR-M images but image texture were similar to or significantly better than those of SDCT with h-IR images. The lesion detectability on LDCT with DLIR-M images was not significantly different from that of SDCT with h-IR images (reader-averaged FOM, 0.887 vs. 0.874, respectively; p = 0.581). Conclusion: Overall image quality and detectability of focal liver lesions is preserved in contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic LDCT obtained with DLIR-M relative to those in SDCT with h-IR.

Severe cartilage defects and congenital anomalies affect millions of people and involve considerable medical expenses. Tissue engineering offers many advantages over conventional treatments, as therapy can be tailored to specific defects using abundant bioengineered resources. This article introduces the basic concepts of cartilage tissue engineering and reviews recent progress in the field, with a focus on craniofacial reconstruction and facial aesthetics. The basic concepts of tissue engineering consist of cells, scaffolds, and stimuli. Generally, the cartilage tissue engineering process includes the following steps: harvesting autologous chondrogenic cells, cell expansion, redifferentiation, in vitro incubation with a scaffold, and transfer to patients. Despite the promising prospects of cartilage tissue engineering, problems and challenges still exist due to certain limitations. The limited proliferation of chondrocytes and their tendency to dedifferentiate necessitate further developments in stem cell technology and chondrocyte molecular biology. Progress should be made in designing fully biocompatible scaffolds with a minimal immune response to regenerate tissue effectively
