Summary of the Inventive Concept

A novel system leveraging angiography technology to inspect and monitor various industries, including water quality, wind turbine blades, building structures, soil erosion, and oil pipelines, enabling real-time detection of defects, pollution, and structural weaknesses.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Angiographic examination method for a vascular system', is limited to medical applications. However, the core technology of angiography can be applied to other industries, addressing the need for efficient and accurate inspection and monitoring methods in these fields.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The system comprises an X-ray emitter and an X-ray image detector attached to a robotic arm, generating a 3D volume of the target object and overlaying it with real-time fluoroscopy images. This enables the detection of defects, pollution, and structural weaknesses in various industries. The system can be adapted for different applications by modifying the robotic arm's movement and the X-ray emitter's energy output.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a novel application of angiography technology to non-medical industries, leveraging the core technology's strengths in 3D imaging and real-time fluoroscopy. The inventive step lies in the adaptation of the technology to address specific problems in these industries.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments include using different types of radiation sources, such as gamma rays or neutron beams, or incorporating additional sensors, like acoustic or optical sensors, to enhance the system's capabilities. Variations may include using the system for inspecting other types of infrastructure, such as bridges or dams.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The inventive concept has significant commercial potential in various industries, including environmental monitoring, renewable energy, construction, and oil and gas. The system can help reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve safety in these industries, making it an attractive solution for companies and governments alike.
