Abstract

The Film X-ray and the CCD method of current medical image system have the disadvantages such as required large place and diagnosis time. In this paper, we implement an effective medical image system using TXT-DXD method's digital X-ray detector(DR1000C). The implemented medical image system has advantages of placing efficiency and short diagnosis time. In order to make the image out of the system more effective, we develop an LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) control driver, having the resolution of 1900*1200. And we propose an enhancement unsharp masking method to update image enhancement of DR1000C medical image system, and compare it with the current methods.

기존의 필름 X-Ray 및 CCD(Charge Coupled Device) 방식은 공간적인 제약과 진단 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 방식들의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 TFT-DXD 방식의 digital X-ray detector (DR1000C)를 이용한 고효율 의료 영상처리시스템을 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 DR1000C를 이용한 의료용 영상처리시스템은 기존의 X-Ray 방식에 비해 공간 효율성이 높고 진단 시간이 짧아진다는 장점이 있다. 영상처리시스템에서 획득한 영상을 고화질로 만들기 위해 1900*1200의 해상도를 가지는 LCD 컨트롤 드라이버를 개발하였고, 영상의 성능향상을 위해 enhancement unsharp masking 기법을 제안하여, 기존의 방식과 비교하였다.
