| 20110115588 | Magnetic Attachment of Detector Modules enabling front side removal - Magnetic attachment for a multisided buttable module. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20110079724 | Use of Hybrid collimation for Interleaved Emission and Transmission Scans for SPECT - Two different collimation geometries are interleaved. Each collimation geometry samples a transaxial slice through the object being imaged. The even slices are of the same fan-beam geometry as the central head, but the odd slices are of different collimation geometry. Each slice covers an axial range that is the same as the pixel size of the solid-state detector, and aligns with the corresponding pixels in the axial direction. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20100200759 | MULTI-SHORT-SCAN TECHNIQUE IN SPECT IMAGING - A SPECT system which scans over multiple separate scans and individually motion compensates the information obtained from each of these scans. The separate scans may be over different angular extents and may be for different purposes. One of the scans for example may be a scout scan, and the other scans may then be scans which concentrate on areas identified during the scout scan. Alternatively, the scans may all being exactly the same and stitched together after the individual motion compensation. Since each of the scans are shorter, the patient will presumably have moved less during each individual scan, and the amount of motion is hence presumably less. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100038738 | Capacitive Bypass - An indirect connection to and across a photodiode array. The backside contact is used as one portion which connects to a capacitor. The capacitor forms a shunt across the bulk substrate, thus shunting across the series resistance of the substrate, and reducing the series resistance. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20090272904 | Small Field of View Detector Head ("Spect") Attenuation Correction System - A detector head having a small field of view, for example one which receives information from less than half a body imaged, is used to form a transmission attenuation map. The same detector head both receives information for the transmission attenuation map and also receives imaging information e.g. from a radioisotope. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20080224051 | Multi-axis moveable gantry gamma camera - A multiaxis gantry camera has additional axes of movement that allow unexpected functions. A first function allowed the collimator is to be exchanged while maintaining them in a configuration that saves space. The device can also be used to calibrate in a space-saving configuration. Different turning configurations can be allowed to change the orientation over which scanning is conducted. | 09-18-2008 |
