Smart Scan with AI and Data Analytics for Industrial Applications

计算机断层扫描(CT)技术被广泛应用于健康、工业和社会应用中，以提供不同对象内部的准确图像。它们与2D和3D图像处理相结合，分析从目标对象周围不同角度拍摄的一系列X射线图像和横断面图像重建，用于支持诊断、分析、监测和完整性控制。这一国际合作研究项目旨在设计一个智能扫描综合研究和测试设施，并利用其开发人工智能和图像处理算法，以支持多种应用。研究合作将包括研究人工智能和图像处理算法，以分析CT扫描的图像，并将其与正电子发射断层扫描(PET)的其他图像相结合，这将提供对人体代谢或生化功能的全面评估，并将评估放射性水平和定位。研究设施将用于支持其他物理系统的分析和完整性管理，如能源技术、电池存储系统、超级电容器系统、飞轮系统、半导体和电子、交通和航空系统。一个主要应用是支持核电站和小型模块化反应堆(SMR)的维护和检查活动，包括通过测试设备、仓库、基础设施和容器中材料的降解和放射性影响来进行安装、退役活动。合作研究将包括研究和设计集装箱中的移动系统，该系统可以运输到远程地点，以支持不同的工业应用。

Computerized Tomography (CT) scanner technologies are widely used in health, industries, and social applications to provide accurate images of the internals of different objects. They are integrated with 2D and 3D image processing to analyze the series of X-ray images taken from different angles around the target object and reconstruction of cross-sectional images, which are used to support diagnosis, analysis, monitoring, and integrity controls.This international collaborative research project aims to design a smart scan integrated research and test facility and utilize for the development of AI and image processing algorithms to support number of applications. The research collaboration will include investigation of AI and image processing algorithms to analyze images from CT scans and integrate them with other images from Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans, which will provide comprehensive assessment of metabolic or biochemical functions in human body and will assess radioactivity level and localization.The research facility will be used to support analysis and integrity management of other physical systems such as energy technologies, battery storage systems, supercapacitor systems, flywheel systems, semiconductors and electronics, transportation, and aviation systems. One main application is to support maintenance and inspection activities in nuclear power plants, and Small Modular Reactors (SMR) including installations, decommissioning activities by testing the degradation of materials and radioactivity impacts in equipment, storages, infrastructures, and containers. The collaborative research will include the study and design of a mobile system in a container that can be shipped to remote locations to support different industrial applications.
