An integrated circuit device includes a nonvolatile memory, first and second buffer memories, and a controller. Each of the first and second buffer memories is configured to buffer write data to be written to the nonvolatile memory in response to a write request and also buffer read data received from the nonvolatile memory in response to a read request. A controller is provided, which evaluates the first buffer memory against at least one criterion relating to data accuracy. The controller is configured to: redirect at least some of the write data from the first buffer memory to the second buffer memory in response to the write request when the evaluation demonstrates the criterion has been exceeded, and redirect at least some of the read data from the first buffer memory to the second buffer memory in response to the read request when the evaluation demonstrates the criterion has been exceeded.

Various embodiments of this disclosure provide a medical imaging apparatus and a method of processing a medical image. The medical imaging apparatus includes a data obtainer configured to obtain raw data generated by performing a tomography scan on an object. The medical imaging apparatus also includes a processor configured to obtain, from the raw data, a plurality of pieces of monochromatic image data respectively corresponding to a plurality of energy levels. The processor is also configured to receive an external input that sets a combination of weights respectively applied to the plurality of pieces of monochromatic image data. The processor is also configured to generate a synthetic image by applying the combination of the weights to the plurality of pieces of monochromatic image data. The medical imaging apparatus also includes a display configured to display the generated synthetic image.
