본 논문은 토모그라픽 영상시스템에 적합한 FBP 토모그라픽 영상복원 알고리즘의 분해능에 관하여 연구하였다. 고정좌표계를 이용하는 개선된 FBP 토모그라픽 영상복원 알고리즘으로부터 분해능을 분석할 수 있는 모호함수를 유도하였고, 이를 이용한 모의실험을 통하여 얻은 진폭분포로부터 측방향 및 축방향 분해능을 정량적으로 결정하였다. 개선된 FBP 토모그라픽 영상복원 알고리즘을 통해 기존의 SAM(Scanning Acoustic Microscope)시스템으로부터 얻을 수 있는 3dB와 6dB 축방향 분해능에 대해서도 각각 0.70 파장과 0.96 파장으로 SAM 영상의 3dB 축방향 분해능인 7 파장에 비하여 매우 개선된 분해능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 평면 입사파의 회절 토모그라픽 영상복원을 위한 개선된 FBP 토모그라픽 영상복원 알고리즘은 미세하고 복잡한 다층 박막구조를 갖는 시료에 대하여 좋은 분해능을 갖는 토모그라픽 영상시스템을 개발하는데 유용하게 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

Single-photon emission computed tomography is one of the reliable pin-by-pin verification techniques for spent-fuel assemblies. One of the challenges with this technique is to increase the total fuel assembly verification speed while maintaining high verification accuracy. The aim of the present study, therefore, was to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm-based tomographic image analysis technique for partial-defect verification of fuel assemblies. With the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation technique, a tomographic image dataset consisting of 511 fuel-rod patterns of a 3 × 3 fuel assembly was generated, and with these images, the VGG16, GoogLeNet, and ResNet models were trained. According to an evaluation of these models for different training dataset sizes, the ResNet model showed 100% pattern estimation accuracy. And, based on the different tomographic image qualities, all of the models showed almost 100% pattern estimation accuracy, even for low-quality images with unrecognizable fuel patterns. This study verified that an AI model can be effectively employed for accurate and fast partial-defect verification of fuel assemblies.

The tomographic gamma scanner (TGS) method, a further of extension of segmented gamma scanner (SGS), is most accurate and precise for assaying heterogeneous drummed nuclear radioactive waste; it is widely used in nuclear power plants and radioactive waste storages and disposal sites. The transmission and emission images are reconstructed by image reconstruction techniques. In the paper, the principle of TGS is introduced; image reconstruction techniques are discussed as well; finally, it is demonstrated that TGS method performance.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has developed a tomographic imaging system for accomplishing the total fuel rod-by-rod verification time of fuel assemblies within the order of 1-2 h, however, there are still limitations for some fuel types. The aim of this study is to develop a deep learning-based denoising process resulting in increasing the tomographic image acquisition speed of fuel assembly compared to the conventional techniques. Convolutional AutoEncoder (CAE) was employed for denoising the low-quality images reconstructed by filtered back-projection (FBP) algorithm. The image data set was constructed by the Monte Carlo method with the FBP and ground truth (GT) images for 511 patterns of missing fuel rods. The de-noising performance of the CAE model was evaluated by comparing the pixel-by-pixel subtracted images between the GT and FBP images and the GT and CAE images; the average differences of the pixel values for the sample image 1, 2, and 3 were 7.7%, 28.0% and 44.7% for the FBP images, and 0.5%, 1.4% and 1.9% for the predicted image, respectively. Even for the FBP images not discriminable the source patterns, the CAE model could successfully estimate the patterns similarly with the GT image.

In this paper, using the principle of duality between the spatial and spectral domain, we proposed a new microwave imaging technique of a coherent tomographic formulation in the spatial domain and reconstructed the image of dielectric cylinder through simulation and experiment. The numerical and experimental results for the variety o object size, relative dielectric constant have shown the limitation of Born approximation to be used and the effect of retrieved images for various signal bandwidth.

This paper describes a tomographic imaging technique for evaluating the thickness reduction of a plate-like structure using a noncontact sensor network based on an electromagnetic acoustic transducer that generates shear horizontal plate waves. Because this technique is based on the effect of mode cutoff and time of flight of guided waves caused by a change in thickness, the tomographic image provides information on the presence of defects in the structure. To verify the performance of the method, artificial defects with various thickness reduction ratios were machined in an aluminum plate, and the tomographic imaging results are reported. The results show that the generated tomographic image displays the thickness reductions and can identify their locations. Therefore, the proposed technique has good potential as a tool for health monitoring of the integrity of plate-like structures.

Purpose: To measure the differences of the splint pin angulation and the position of the planned implant site after conventional tomographic analysis. Materials and Methods: The angulation and the location of the metal splint pin retained in acrylic stent were compared with the corrected angulation and the location of the implant fixture on the 331 tomographic images. Results: The stent pins were located buccal in 40%, lingual in 10% to the corrected implant site after analysis of the conventional tomographic image. The angle and the location of the maxillary splint pin were mainly directed buccal on incisor and canine regions. The angle and the location of the splint pins in premolar and molar regions needed less corrections in both maxilla and mandible. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the use of tomographs was essential for successful dental implant planning.

Two dimensional kernels which reconstruct the tomographic image from the blurred one formed by simple back-projection are investigated and their performances are compared. These kernels are derived from tile point spread function of the tomographic system and have the form of a ramp filter modified by several window functions to suppress ringing in the reconstruction. Computer simulation using a computer generated phantom image data with different correction functions(kernels) has been carried out. In this simulation, filtering in frequency domain by 2-D FFT technique or in space domain by 2-D direct convolution is considered. It is found that the-computation time required for real space convolution technique is much larger than that of Fourier 2-D filtering technique in the pratical situation.
