  • Patent number: 9057680
    Abstract: Provided is a diagnostic method and system capable of applying tomography to industrial long cylindrical process systems, such as a pipe line, which are difficult to diagnose using existing medical or industrial computed tomography (CT) scanners. Existing industrial X-ray CT scanners cannot be used for such a pipe that is attached to the process system and thus cannot be placed on the turntable, and existing image diagnostic apparatuses of a fan beam type, a collimated beam type, etc. having a stereotyped structure are next to impossible to move and use for undetachable process systems and their peripheral devices. To solve these problems, there is provided a gamma-ray tomography scanning system that is capable of being directly attached to a pipe in operation and measuring a cross section of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 8975413
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of preparing a radioisotope nanostructure having a ligand-metal framework, and a radioisotope nanostructure prepared thereby. The method of preparing the radioisotope nanostructure of the invention has a simple preparation process and can thus be applied to mass production of a radioisotope nanostructure. Also, because this radioisotope nanostructure is nano-sized spherical particles and has no reactive group, it can be easily dispersed in a fluid, and this nanostructure is physically and chemically stable and thus can be utilized as a radioisotope tracer in the fields of refineries, chemistry, cement, agriculture, water resources, marine, etc. Furthermore, this nanostructure can be used for diagnosis and/or treatment in medical fields, and can be applied to checking whether a nanomaterial is harmful. In addition, this nanostructure is expected to be applicable in a variety of fields using radioisotopes.
