As average life expectancy is reaching 100 years old, more people are interested in keeping good health. The demand for curing various diseases is high and the demand for medical imaging equipment, as a result, is soaring. Reading the trend, a medical imaging equipment repair company The Young Medi is making a strong presence in the niche market. With its base on Soon Chun Hyang University RGB Campus, The Young Medi is specialized in medical CT tube generation and comprehensive maintenance services. It obtained ISO 13485 in the respective sector and the team of CT engineers boasts extensive knowledge and experience built on numerous global CT device development businesses.

 

Upgrading medical CT economically and efficiently with advanced technology

Obtaining 10 patents including ‘Insulating oil replacement device and method of X-ray module’

The Young Medi has been mainly focused on development and maintenance of CT core parts and their reprocessing. The patented ‘Insulating oil replacement device and method of X-ray module’ and ‘Coolant exchange device for CT equipment and changing method’ are two good examples of its results. The company has completed patent registration in China and Russia as well as domestic patents with which it pushes business forward.

The tube, which is the X-ray generator of CT, is the core component of the CT machine. The Young Medi’s CT tube regeneration technology is a highly advanced technology that improves image quality and extends lifespan by economically upgrading CTs. The CT tube regeneration process is very delicate and demanding here. In order to remove foreign substances from the exterior of the CT tube module and completely remove the contaminated insulating oil or foreign substances in the tube by vacuum pressure, the new insulating oil with air bubbles removed is injected after the cleaning operation. This operation, which facilitates the supply and discharge of insulating oil from the tube module, regenerates the tube function, which is a key consumable component of the CT equipment, and the heat is easily dissipated when X-rays are generated, which significantly reduces the failure frequency of the CT equipment. The quality of the CT images taken has been greatly improved, enabling high-resolution image output, allowing radiologists to more accurately read the lesion content of the CT image. The durability of CT equipment is increased by more than 35%, and tube replacement costs, which account for 70% of CT maintenance costs, are greatly reduced, making it economical.

Their unrivaled technology has opened up a niche market called the USED CT market amid the expansion of the NEW CT market, overcoming its shortcomings and expanding its advantages, and standing at the center of the USED CT market.

 

It has unrivaled technology and is recognized as an honest and sincere company

India, the Philippines, developing countries... spurring the development of the global market

The Young Medi provides differentiated CT services by signing service contracts with more than 80 small and medium-sized domestic medical institutions that have CT devices manufactured by global manufacturers such as GE/PHILIPS/SIEMENS/TOSHIBA/OTHERS/HITACHI. 

The company has been recognized for its unique CT tube regeneration and maintenance technology in the medical field and imaging equipment industry, and has been selected as an Innobiz company, a main biz company, and a promising export small and medium-sized company. The company is currently selected for the Chungcheongnam Regional Flagship Project, the Startup Growth Technology Development Project, and the Startup Leap Package Project.

With the slogan of “luxury CT maintenance service”, the company has secured the best competitiveness in the domestic medical device repair market. The Young Medi actively participates in overseas exhibitions related to medical devices and radiation, and strives to export products and technologies that apply its patented technology to developing countries such as India and the Philippines. The company is also conducting R&D on the localization of CT core components and gradually expanding its business area by building and operating a shopping mall specializing in CT.

The company’s CT shopping mall (WWW.YOUNGMEDI.CO.KR) started with the idea of helping CT companies in each country who are struggling due to the lack of CT parts, and now 95% of parts inquiries lead to sales.

 

CTO Minyoung Lee has the reputation of being the best engineer in the field of CT repair

Striving to cultivate professional CT engineers  Running the CT shopping mall

CTO Minyoung Lee has established a reputation as the best engineer in the field of CT maintenance in Korea. Lee started career as a CT equipment engineer at Samsung GE and worked on the company’s CT development team. As a leading expert in the CT field who has obtained 10 domestic and foreign patents related to CT based on more than 30 years of experience in the field, Lee is significantly improving the level of GE, Siemens, and Philips equipment repair and increasing the global market competitiveness related to CT tube regeneration. Lee is accelerating the development of core components and the enhancement of CT instrument repair technology capabilities so that the company can become a global company in the field of CT comprehensive maintenance services.

Lee was recently awarded the “Community Service Award” by the National Assembly Health and Welfare Committee. Lee said “Whole-body CT is very good equipment, but the whole-body CT machines used in domestic medical institutions are 100% dependent on imports. The reason why the replacement cost of key parts is excessively high is that the four manufacturers of GE/PHILIPS/SIEMENS/TOSHIBA occupy 90% of the global CT device market and have a monopoly on maintenance work. That’s why the barrier to entry into the market is so high. Therefore, we will make more efforts to train CT engineers and expand the CT shopping mall to the CT platform. We will also continue to research and invest in the research of new CT components, contributing to the development of the industry and the improvement of human health.”
