  • Patent number: 11937978
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a new concept of fusion imaging device for simultaneously providing anatomical information and functional/biochemical information of human bodies, to accurately localize lesions in the pre-operative process and measure in real time, thereby ensuring the stability of patients with lower radiation doses than the existing fusion imaging devices such as positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT, and includes: a transducer to transmit and receive an ultrasound; a matching layer positioned on top of the transducer to reduce a difference in acoustic resistance between the transducer and an affected part, to support an ultrasound beam to be smoothly transmitted into tissues and a reflected beam to be received with high sensitivity; a backing member to absorb the ultrasound on an opposite side of the affected part with respect to the transducer; and a scintillator to detect gamma rays which are radiation, wherei

  • Patent number: 11762105
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for determining the location of a radiation source. The apparatus for determining the location of a radiation source according to the present invention comprises: a collimator part for selectively passing radiation therethrough according to the direction in which the radiation is incident; a scintillator part for converting the radiation incident from the collimator part into a light ray; a first optical sensor for converting the light ray incident from one end of the scintillator part into a first optical signal; a second optical sensor for converting the light ray incident from the other end of the scintillator part into a second optical signal; and a location information acquisition part for acquiring information on the location where the light ray is generated in the scintillator part, by using the second optical signal and the second optical signal.

  • Patent number: 10396812
    Abstract: A register and an analog-digital converter capable of detecting signal distortion in high-radiation environments are provided. The register includes: a signal input terminal receiving a digital signal; and a digital single event transient (DSET) detection unit detecting whether information of the digital signal input through the signal input terminal is distorted, wherein the DSET detection unit includes a first output terminal through which a first detection signal is output, the first detection signal being used to determine whether at least one of rising edge timing information and falling edge timing information of the digital signal is distorted.
