Abstract: The present disclosure describes an endovascular delivery apparatus that enables a radio-opaque or contrast dye to be delivered directly to the site of a clot, alleviating the need to diffuse an large amount of dye through a wound path to effectively expose a clot to a radio-opaque or contrast dye. The present invention is advantageous, as less dye may be used, thereby mitigating side-effects caused by excess dye exposure, additionally, the present invention enables dye to reach the desired location more quickly, thereby increasing the chances of patient survival during emergency stent insertion procedures.

Abstract: A system for determining a radiation dose in real time can include at least one three-dimensional target object to be exposed to ionizing radiation. The at least one target object may include a scintillating gel material. The scintillating gel material may emit light when exposed to the ionizing radiation. An imaging system may be configured to capture at least a first image of the target object from a first position, and a second image of the target object from a second position relative to the target object. A controller may be connected to the imaging system and may be configured to the process the first and second images to provide a three-dimensional dose distribution in real-time.
