A Key Tracking System and Method of Operation allows a user to store a digital image of a key in a memory storage on a mobile device. The digital image of the key is stored with a plurality of keys for a user, creating a database of key images that are viewable for comparison, cutting references, key location identity, and other common key organization and tracking features. The stored digital image of the key is used to comparatively identify the key amongst digital images of a plurality of keys. The stored digital image of key can be compared with an image of a corresponding recall key in order to cut a key bitting for the key that substantially matches the key bitting of the recall key. The stored digital image of the key is associated with a location of a corresponding keyway structure that graphically displays on a digital map.

Key tracking system and method of operation

A device and method for precisely delivering dosage of radiation from a radiation source to a treatment site of a vessel is provided herein. In one embodiment, the device includes a catheter which inserts into a vessel lumen of the body. The catheter includes an adjuster section for altering a portion of the radiation emitting radially from the radiation source so that the radiation source delivers an asymmetrical radiation profile to the vessel. The device can also include a catheter supporter which inhibits rotational deformation in the catheter between a catheter distal end and a catheter proximal end. This allows the delivery section to be precisely rotated to properly position the adjuster section within the vessel lumen.

Intravascular radiation delivery device

A radiation source for delivering a dose of radiation to a treatment site of a vessel is provided herein. The radiation source includes a delivery wire and a radioactive segment. The radioactive segment includes a substantially coiled or entwined radioactive wire which allows the radioactive segment to have a relatively large surface area to volume ratio. The delivery wire is made of material having a relatively short half-life, such as titanium, while the radioactive segment is made of a material, such as a rhenium or yttrium, which has a much longer half-life.
