Abstract:
PURPOSE: An automatic extraction method of rib edges in chest X-ray images is provided to read accurately the chest X-ray image in a preprocessing procedure of a chest X-ray image by extracting automatically the boundary of the rib. CONSTITUTION: An X-ray is obtained by a DR(Digital Radiology) or a CR(Computed Radiology), or an X-ray film(21). A digitization process for the obtained image is performed(22). The digitization process is to convert the obtained image to a digital image by using a film scanner. A boundary of lung is extracted from the digitized image(23). The boundary of the lung is composed of a rib cage, a diaphragm, an upper boundary of the lung, and an inner boundary of the lung. An initial boundary of a rib is extracted(24). A final boundary of the rib is extracted by using the initial boundary of the rib(25).

PURPOSE: A method for quantitatively measuring a fat quantity of a target organ from an ultrasonic image is provided to improve the reliability of measurement by quantifying brightness distribution characteristics of the target organ from the ultrasonic image to extract a representative gray level and quantitatively measuring the fat quantity from the representative gray level. CONSTITUTION: An ultrasonic sectional diagram image with respect to a target organ of a human body is obtained(110). An object region on the ultrasonic sectional diagram image is set. A quantified representative gray level of the object region is obtained from a gray level distribution of pixels within the object region(120). Fat quantity corresponding to the quantified representative gray level of the object region is determined(130).

PURPOSE: A method for measuring bone density using an X-ray image is provided to improve the accuracy of bone density measurement by eliminating an X-ray absorbing effect by a soft part included in a bone region. CONSTITUTION: An input/output unit(11) inputs from and outputs to an external user data required to the measurement of bone density. Main/auxiliary memory units(12,13) store all sorts of data required to the process for measuring the bone density by using an X-ray image. A microprocessor(14) controls the main/auxiliary memory units(12,13) and the input/output unit(11) and performs all of calculation process for measuring the bone density by the X-ray image. The input/output unit(11) includes an X-ray film scanner for digitally imaging the X-ray image, a monitor, a printer, and an X-ray film.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method of measuring a marrow density using Saville's index is provided to diagnose a marrow porosity at a low cost by setting marrow indexes using marrow patterns. CONSTITUTION: A method of measuring a marrow density includes the step(10) of obtaining a marrow image to obtain marrow patterns. A concerning area is determined in the marrow image in the step(30). The concerning area is divided into the plurality of sub-areas. The plurality of sub-areas have a shape of square of which one side length is about 1.5mm, respectively. The levels of the plurality of sub-areas are lineally controlled and the controlled levels are taken an average to obtain average values of each of the plurality of sub-areas, such that marrow indexes are obtained based on the average values. The marrow density of the concerning area is determined based on the marrow indexes in the step(40).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A bio-signal transmission device, a vehicle control device, a vehicle automatic control system using the same, and a method thereof are provided to control driving of a vehicle by handling emergency situation happening during driving. CONSTITUTION: A bio-signal transmission device(100) comprises a bio-signal measurement unit(110), a signal processing unit(120), and a transmission unit(130). The bio-signal measurement unit measures a bio-signal of a driver. The signal processing unit filters the bio-signal measured in the bio-signal measurement unit and removes noise. The signal processing unit amplifies the bio-signal in which the noise is removed and converts the amplified bio-signal into a digital signal for output. The transmission unit wirelessly transmits the digital signal. [Reference numerals] (110) Bio-signal measurement unit; (120) Signal processing unit; (130) Transmission unit
