Abstract: A temperature measurement apparatus using a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermister is provided. A temperature sensor includes the NTC thermister and a variable resistor part, in which a resistance value of the variable resistor part varies between a first resistance value for a first output voltage value and a second resistance value for a second output voltage value to allow a voltage value corresponding to a present temperature to be outputted. A voltage temperature matching unit outputs the present temperature based on the first output voltage value and the second output voltage value.

Abstract: Provided is a temperature measurement apparatus using a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor. A temperature sensor includes the NTC thermistor and a variable resistor part. A resistance value of the variable resistor part varies between a default resistance value for measuring a temperature and a temporary resistance value for determining a disconnection. An abnormal operation determination unit determines whether the NTC thermistor is disconnected, based on an output voltage of the temperature sensor when the variable resistor part has the temporary resistance value.

Abstract: Provided is a phantom for evaluating the accuracy of image registration software based on a result of matching tomograms of a predetermined position of the phantom, taken using two or more imaging apparatuses. Accordingly, it is possible to more efficiently evaluate the accuracy of the image registration software by comparing the tomograms with one another using a three-dimensional analysis. In addition, it is possible to facilitate the comparison of the tomograms with one another by installing a plurality of indicating bars in the phantom so that their cross sections can appear on each of the tomograms.
