  • A three dimensional fractal coding with a perceptually enhanced matching is proposed. Since most of medical images (e.g. computed tomography or magnetic resonance image) have three dimensional character, the searching region is extended to adjacent slices. For perceptually enhanced matching, a high frequency booster filter is used for prefiltering of the original image, and the least mean square error matching is applied to this edge enhanced image rather than the original image. From the simulation with the magnetic resonance images ($255{\times}255$, 8bits/pixel). the proposed algorithm provides excellent image quality with compression rations higher than 10. Compared to existing fractal coding the algorithm also provides better subjective image quality with higher compression ratio.

  • A simple and effective compression method is proposed for multiple-scan testing. For a given test set, each test pattern is compressed from the view of slices. An encoding table exploiting seven types of frequently-occurring pattern is used. Compression is then achieved by mapping slice data into codewords. The decompression logic is small and easy to implement. It is also applicable to schemes adopting a single-scan chain. Experimental results show this method can achieve good compression effect.

  • Several adaptive and direct slicing methods have been developed to make the slice data for RP parts with better accuracy and speed. This research deals with a new adaptive slicing algorithm that shows drastic improvement in computing time for calculating the slices of a part. First, it uses less number of sampling points fur each slice in determining the thickness of the next slice. Secondly, the idea of contour map is utilized to determine the optimal sampling point on each slice. Thirdly, the calculation efficiency is further improved by introducing vertical character lines of the given part. The results in terms of accuracy and speed are compared with the existing methods.

  • According to depth cues of an image, the optical engine of the solid volumetric true 3D display can project a sequence of slices of a 2D image to corresponding display at a set of liquid shutters (LC) locating at different depth. A single DLP optical engine developed for a solid volumetric true 3D display consists of a lamp, reflector, color wheel, hollow integrator, relays, DMD, and projection lens. The simulation results show that the optical engine designed for single DLP volumetric true 3D display satisfies the requirements.

  • To analyze royal nad Chinese envoy procession, and sacrificial rite of Chinese envoy for Choson Dynasty, the author studied historic book-Youngjeob Dogam Sajechong Euigwae of Choson Dynasty(1609 year) in which Chinese envoy procession for sacrificial rite in Choson Dynasty were described. The results obtained from this study were as follows. 1. Sacrificial rite of Chinese envoy for Choson Dynasty were Yellow paper burning and performing a sacrificial rite of chinese envoy. 2. Order of Chinese envoy procession for Yellow paper burng and performint a sacrificial rite of Chinese envoy, was civil and military officers, flag procession, drum, palanquin of incense, palanquin of guneral oration, palaquin of material for guneral expenses, palanquin of rich viands and sumptuous fare and Chinese envoy. 3. Things offered in sacrifice of Yellow paper burning were fried cake made of wheat flour, honey and oil, fried gutinous rice cake, patterned savory cake, fruits, meat fish and others broil, slices of boiled beef, soup, stew, noodles, 3cups of alcohol, rice cake and water. 4. Things offered in sacrifice of performing a sacrificial rite of Chinese envoy were a cattle, a hog, a sheep, 3 cups of alcohol and etc.

  • Purpose: To know the fate of Gadophrin-2-enhanced areas in hearts with acute reperfused myocardial infarction. Method: The left anterior descending branches of coronary arteries were occluded for 90 min and reperfused for 60 min in 15 rabbits. Then, Gadophrin-2 (0.05 mmol/kg) was injected via ear veins. Short-axial T1-weighted spin echo images and fast cine images were obtained 24 hours after injection of Gadophrin-2. After four weeks, short-axial cine MRI was performed and T1-weighted spin echo Images were obtained 5 min and 15 min after injection of Gd-DTPA (0.2 mmol/kg). The animals were sacrificed and short-axial slices of the specimen were stained with 1.5% triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) solution.

  • Gel dosimeters have unique advantages in comparison with other dosimeters. Until now, these gels have been used in different radiotherapy techniques as a reliable dosimetric tool. Because dose distribution measurement is an important factor for appropriate treatment planning in different radiotherapy techniques, in this study, we evaluated the ability of the N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) polymer gel to record the dose distribution resulting from the mixed neutron-gamma field of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). In this regard, a head phantom containing NIPAM gel was irradiated using the Tehran Research Reactor BNCT beam line, and then by a magnetic resonance scanner. Eventually, the $R_2$ maps were obtained in different slices of the phantom by analyzing T2-weighted images. The results show that NIPAM gel has a suitable potential for recording three-dimensional dose distribution in mixed neutron-gamma field dosimetry.

  • The goal of this project is to achieve an accurate segmentation of the pulmonary tumors besides shortening the time and increasing the accuracy. Here, improved region growing (IRG) algorithm is introduced in order to segment the lung tumor with a sufficient accuracy in a shorter time compared to the other basics methods. This comprehensive algorithm was applied on 4 patients CT images and the results of the various steps on segmentation improvement shown 98% accuracy as compared to the basic algorithm. The combination of "multipoint growth start" produced a desirable outcome in accurately bounding the tumor. The proposed algorithm improved tumor identification by less than 13% along with a sufficient percentage of compliance accuracy.
