Patent number: 11937978Abstract: 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, whereiType: GrantFiled: March 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Korea University Research and Business FoundationInventors: Jung Yeol Yeom, Muhammad Nasir Ullah, Chan Ho Kim

Patent number: 11762105Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignees: Korea University Research and Business Foundation, Korea Atomic Energy Research InstituteInventors: Jung-Yeol Yeom, Seop Hur, Inyong Kwon, Chanho Kim
