20120219507 | METHOD OF DETERMINING METABOLIC FUNCTION - The present invention provides a novel lactate difference imaging (LDI) technique, allowing assessment of the metabolic responses of tissue over a period of time. This approach utilises lactate change over a time period as an indicator of viable tissue, and offers benefits in the management and treatment of the effects of many common diseases, in particular stroke. | 08-30-2012 |

20090246138 | METHOD OF IMAGING METABOLIC FUNCTION - A contrast imaging method e.g. of the T2* weighted “BOLD” type is adapted by use together with an oxygen challenge to provide imaging for the assessment of the metabolic responses of tissue over a period of time the method utilizing three components, oxygen, deoxyhaemoglobin, and oxyhaemoglobin together with time, to provide four variable parameters which allows oxygen to be used as a metabolic marker that can be utilized in an imaging evaluation of soft tissue and organs, e.g. in the study of viable tissue and organ function or dysfunction, which allows utility in diagnosis and assessment of conditions such as cancer, dementia, circulatory disorders, and autoimmune disorders. | 10-01-2009 |
20090128776 | FUNCTIONAL IMAGING OF THE RETINA - An apparatus and a method for obtaining, in vivo, a measurement of retinal response to an optical stimuli. Light sources provide optical stimuli to the retina in accordance with predetermined stimulation sequences, and images of the retina are obtained and correlated with the predetermined stimulation sequences so as to determine responses of the retina to the optical stimuli. In one particular embodiment, optical stimuli are provided according to m-sequences and correlated with corresponding optical coherence tomography images to determine a functional response of the retina. | 05-21-2009 |
