Nondestructive Diagnosis Of A Particle Accelerator For Medical Use

Our goal is to use thermal imaging to diagnose a particle accelerator used in medicine. This technic can track its operating status and detect breakdowns and failures. The accelerator is used in the Regional Cancer Center in Oujda (CRO) to treat cancerous patients. The CRO plays a crucial role in the medical area of eastern morocco. Hence, to better manage and plan the therapeutic sessions, we have to ensure an upstream apparatus diagnosis. Our work involves the production of a thermal mapping of the accelerator during normal operating and when a failure occurs. The analysis begins with the manual segmentation of thermal images to isolate different significant regions. Afterwards, we will determine the temperature of all interesting present elements in the area. Finally, we will conduct a comparison of accelerator components temperature in the case of normal operating and when is down. Therefore, the analysis of the thermal mapping will help us identify the defective element and prevent any further deterioration.
