  • Publication number: 20150302604
    Abstract: A medical imaging apparatus and a method of operating the same are provided. The method includes acquiring three-dimensional (3D) volume data about an object, generating a 3D image based on the 3D volume data, extracting a muscle tissue figure corresponding to a muscle tissue shape of the object by grouping voxels included in the 3D image, analyzing a motion of the object based on the extracted muscle tissue figure, and displaying the extracted muscle tissue figure and a result of the analysis.

  • Publication number: 20150190119
    Abstract: Disclosed are an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and a method of operating the same. The method includes transmitting an ultrasound signal to an object to receive an echo signal corresponding to the ultrasound signal from the object, generating an ultrasound image, based on the received echo signal, detecting cross-sectional information indicating which cross-sectional surface of the object the generated ultrasound image shows, and displaying the ultrasound image and a cross-sectional information image corresponding to the detected cross-sectional information.

  • Publication number: 20150164481
    Abstract: Disclosed are an ultrasound diagnosis device and an operating method of the same. The operating method of an ultrasound diagnosis device includes generating a first ultrasound image based on first ultrasound signals received from an object at a first point in time, calculating a value of at least one parameter of the object based on the first ultrasound image, generating a second ultrasound image based on second ultrasound signals received from the object at a second point in time, calculating a value of the at least one parameter of the object based on the second ultrasound image, and displaying a comparative image obtained by comparing the first and second ultrasound images and a comparative result obtained by comparing the calculated values of the at least one parameter.

  • Patent number: 8941098
    Abstract: A light detecting array structure and a light detecting module are provided. The light detecting array structure includes a plurality of first electrodes, a plurality of second electrodes, a first carrier selective layer, a second carrier selective layer, and a light-absorbing active layer. The second electrodes are disposed on one side of the first electrodes. Between the first electrodes and the second electrodes, a first carrier selective layer, a light-absorbing active layer and a second carrier selective layer are disposed. The light detecting module includes the light detecting array structure and a control unit. The control unit is coupled to the first electrodes and second electrodes, selectively provides at least two cross voltages between each of the first electrodes and each of the second electrodes, and reads photocurrents flowing through the first electrodes and second electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20130056070
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for generating inverted organic solar cells and which required no electron selective layer, were fabricated and their power conversion efficiency was found to improve irreversibly with post-processing light soaking for a period. X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization further revealed segregation in surface composition at the interface and was found to explain the current density-voltage measurements. In addition, the light soaked devices were found to exhibit an extended lifetime as compared to conventional devices. Since no electron selective layer was required, light soaking may be considered as a cost-effective method to achieve efficient inverted organic solar cells.
