Explain.

먼저, 컴퓨터의 소프트웨어에 의해 제공되는 디스프레이상의 폼에 도 4와 같이 골밀도 진단은 환자 데이터란에 이름, 생년월일, 나이, 성별, 폐경나이, 키, 몸무게를 입력하면 차트번호와 날짜는 자동으로 입력되도록 이루어진다.First, as shown in Figure 4 on the form of the display or abnormality provided by the software of the computer, when entering the name, date of birth, age, sex, menopause age, height, weight in the patient data column chart number and date are automatically entered Is done.

도 5에 성장판진단은 환자 데이터란에 이름, 생년월일, 나이, 성별, 폐경나이, 키, 몸무게를 입력한 하도록 구성되어 있다. 5, the growth plate diagnosis is configured to enter a name, date of birth, age, sex, menopause age, height, and weight in the patient data column.

상기 환자 데이터 입력이 끝나면 화면의 가이드에 따라 환자 측정부위를 위치시키고 시작번튼을 선택하면 영상취득 및 분석되어 디스플레이창에 디스플레이된다. After the patient data input is completed, the patient measurement part is positioned according to the guide on the screen, and if the start button is selected, the image is acquired and analyzed and displayed on the display window.

본체의 작동은 거치공간부(6)에 진단 대상물을 올려놓은 후에 시작 버튼을 누르면 외부전원단자에 공급되는 전원이 제어부(4)를 통하여 각부에 전원이 공급되어지고, 순간영상감지센서(10)에 전원이 공급되어 초저도CCD카메라(9)가 켜지고, 영상을 전송하게 된다. 이와 동시에 고압제너레이터(3)에 공급되어 엑스레이(x-ray)디텍터를 2초간 예열되고 80MS동안 X-ray가 조사된다.The operation of the main body is to press the start button after placing the object to be placed in the space 6, the power supplied to the external power terminal is supplied to each part through the control unit 4, the instantaneous image sensor 10 Power is supplied to the ultra-low CCD camera (9) is turned on, and the image is transmitted. At the same time, it is supplied to the high-pressure generator 3 to preheat the x-ray detector for 2 seconds and irradiate the X-ray for 80MS.

다음 조사된 X-ray는 증감지에 입사량과 비례하여 가시광을 발광하므로 발고정대에 올려놓은 조사체 및 내부에 구성한 웨지(7)의 영상이 가시광으로 발광하게 되어 증감지의 영상을 전송하며 X-ray 조사가 끝나면 순간영상감지센서(10)의 전원이 차단되면 영상전송이 종료된다. 상기의 과정이 끝나면 켄트롤 메인보드는 PC로 종료신호를 전송한다.Since the irradiated X-ray emits visible light in proportion to the amount of incident light on the sensitizer, the image of the irradiator placed on the foot rest and the wedge 7 configured therein emits visible light and transmits the image of the sensitizer. When the irradiation is finished, the image transmission is terminated when the power of the instantaneous image detection sensor 10 is cut off. After the above process, the Kentrol motherboard sends a shutdown signal to the PC.

상기와 같이 전송된 영상은 기입력된 데이터 값과 비교하여 일정수치의 범위에 따라 진단결과를 내일 수 있도록 하였다.The image transmitted as described above is compared with the input data value so that the diagnosis result can be produced according to a range of predetermined values.

상기 프로그램은 전송되어온 동영상의 각 프레임을 분석하여 가장 좋은 영상을 발췌하고, 분석을 수행하도록 이루어 진다. 본 발명은 X선이 방사되는 시간과 센서의 반응시간, 한 프레임을 구성하는 시간적 타이밍을 동기화하여 영상을 얻어내는 기존의 방식에 비하여 짧은 방사시간을 갖게 되며, 이는 높은 수준의 X선 발생기를 이용하여 선명한 영상을 얻으면서도 피폭되는 선량을 최소화할 수 있도록 하였다.The program extracts the best image by analyzing each frame of the transmitted video and performs the analysis. The present invention has a short emission time compared to the conventional method of synchronizing the time that the X-rays are radiated with the sensor response time and the temporal timing constituting one frame to obtain an image, which uses a high level X-ray generator. It is possible to minimize the exposure dose while obtaining a clear image.

골밀도분석 소프트웨어는 에지검출, 코릴레이션 등의 영상처리 테크닉에 의하여 정확한 ROI(Resion of Interest)를 설정하게 되고, 이를 레퍼런스 웨지(Wedge)와 비교하여 재현성을 확보한 후, 피검자의 골밀도를 진단하도록 되어 있다. 또한, 본 발명의 소프트웨어는 추가 기능으로 환자 데이터베이스, 골밀도 추이변화, 성장판 영상, 성장기 어린이의 표준 신체 정보, 동/서양이 구분된 골밀도 레퍼런스 등의 다양한 기능을 제공한다.Bone density analysis software sets up accurate ROI (Resion of Interest) by image processing techniques such as edge detection and correlation, and compares it with a reference wedge to secure reproducibility and diagnose bone density of a subject. have. In addition, the software of the present invention provides various functions as additional functions such as a patient database, bone density change, growth plate image, standard body information of a growing child, east / western bone density reference.
