  • Patent number: 11253367
    Abstract: There is provided a scaffold for bone regeneration which is adapted to be implanted at a bone defect site of a bone. The scaffold comprises a main support member configured to be fixed to the bone, and a load supporting unit configured to be installed in the bone defect site of the bone to selectively bear a load applied to the bone. The load supporting unit includes one or two supporting pieces to be installed in the bone defect site of the bone to selectively bear a load applied to the bone. The supporting piece has at one end portion a contact portion to be brought into contact with and fixed to a compact bone in the bone defect site of the bone. The other end portion of the supporting piece is selectively coupled to the main support member.

  • Patent number: 10384081
    Abstract: A respiratory gating system is disclosed that varies the orientation of a radiation emitting device according to a patient's natural breathing. A breathing respirator is provided that allows the patient's respiration amount to be measured. External markers are adhered to triangulation points around a radiation target region, such as a heart, of the patient. An image diagnosis device images the target region. A computed tomography device reveals movements of the target region caused by the respiration. Triangulations and polynomial approximations are used to estimate the trajectory of the target region in real time. Position coordinates derived from the estimated trajectory are transmitted to the radiation emitting device. The system increases the accuracy and stability of the entire radiation therapy result.

  • Patent number: 9895558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a voxel-type block phantom for a multifunctional radiation measurement apparatus. A phantom, for adjusting an amount of radiation, has solid pixel blocks, having a radiation measuring device equipped therein and different media and densities from one another, assembled on top of one another so as to be assembled into a 3-dimensional voxel, wherein the phantom is formed by placing a solid block which is appropriate for a density that corresponds to each pixel of the 3-dimensional voxel. An inspector can personally and instantly customize a phantom that is appropriate for a subject to be measured and thus can obtain an accurate measurement value.
