Claims20
Apparatus for checking, by means of artificial intelligence, the integrity of radioprotective personal protective equipment , the apparatus comprising:a checking chamber,means for supporting personal protective equipment, the supporting means being configured to support at least one radioprotective personal protective equipment within the checking chamber,X-ray emitting means,X-ray detection means, the X-ray detection means being configured to acquire one or more images of the radioprotective personal protective equipment, anda control unit configured for implementing artificial intelligence,wherein the control unit is configured to perform, under conditions of use in which a radioprotective personal protective equipment is supported by the supporting means, the following operations:obtain, by means of artificial intelligence, an index of suitability for the radioprotective personal protective equipment, andon the basis of the suitability index obtained,assessing, preferably by means of artificial
- intelligence, whether the radioprotective personal protective equipment is defective or potentially defective.
Method for checking, by means of artificial
- intelligence, the integrity of radioprotective personal protective equipment, the method comprising the steps of:emitting X-rays so as to interact with a radioprotective personal protective equipment positioned inside a checking chamber, anddetecting an integrity status of the radioprotective personal protective equipment,wherein the step of detecting the integrity status of the radioprotective personal protective equipment comprises the following steps:obtaining, by means of artificial intelligence, an index of suitability for the radioprotective personal protective equipment, andon the basis of the suitability index obtained, assessing, by means of artificial intelligence, whether the radioprotective personal protective equipment is defective or potentially defective.
