39 results about "Radioactive tracer" patented technology

A radioactive tracer, radiotracer, or radioactive label, is a chemical compound in which one or more atoms have been replaced by a radionuclide so by virtue of its radioactive decay it can be used to explore the mechanism of chemical reactions by tracing the path that the radioisotope follows from reactants to products. Radiolabeling or radiotracing is thus the radioactive form of isotopic labeling.

System for Inspecting Leaks Using Radiotracers

PendingUS20260118204A1Detection of fluid at leakage pointRadioactive tracerRadioactive agent
A radiotracer injection system for safe use in industrial plants allows for rapid coupling of the radiotracer element storage bottle. The entire set is fully pneumatically driven and allows radiotracer injection in the form of a rapid pulse or step pulse. The injector system can be used with radiotracers in liquid (aqueous or oil) and gaseous form. The system is a sealed and safe unit to work in systems with internal pressure up to 300 Bar. This prevents the need to handle radioactive material in industrial plants, as the radiotracer used in each injection is already delivered inside its respective bottle. Quick-coupling connections allow quick and safe exchange of a used bottle for one with a new radiotracer, without having to disconnect the injector from the system. The injection machine has cylindrical symmetry, which allows the use of shielding with prismatic lead bricks, forming a protective castle around the unit.

Data correction for nuclear medicine imaging with supplemental transmission source

Systems, methods, and devices provide data correction for positron emission tomography (PET) examinations using an external, supplemental radioactive source. The supplemental radioactive source is formed of a uniformly distributed radionuclide. The uniformly distributed radionuclide is positioned in a support structure which is positioned into an inner bore of a PET scanner and secured in place by a friction fit, or directly integrated into the PET system. A transmission source control system moves the one or more 2024 / 059537 transmission sources into the support structure for performing the PET examination (e.g., using a hydraulic system). The transmission source control system also retracts the one or more transmission sources back into a source storage device upon completing the PET examination. Various data correction algorithms use the first PET signal data, originating from a radiotracer injected in the patient, and second PET signal data, originating from the uniformly distributed radionuclide.
