20090292559 | MEDICAL WORKFLOW SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH PROCESS WORKFLOW RECORDATION - A medical information processing and storage system includes a medical images database storing medical images and metadata relevant to the medical images. A processor is configured to perform post-acquisition image processing on medical images. A medical images archiver is configured to store a medical image in the medical images database after the medical image has been processed by the processor. The medical images archiver stores the medical image in the database with processing-descriptive metadata that is descriptive of the post-acquisition image processing performed on the medical image by the processor. | 11-26-2009 |
20090292481 | APPARATUS, METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND USE FOR THERAPY PLANNING IN TREATMENT OF A PATIENT - An apparatus, method, system, computer-readable medium and use for individual patient therapy planning of diseases such as cancer for different therapy modalities, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy is provided. A new aspect of the invention is that the degree of bone marrow depression of the patient is related to the count of immature blood platelets, which are measured before each treatment. Some embodiments of the invention provide an advantage allowing reducing the level of uncertainty in the prediction of the risk of bone marrow depression, and thus enabling to safely improve the therapy effect by an increase of the radiation dosage and/or chemical dosage to the individual patient while the risk for bone marrow depression is minimized. | 11-26-2009 |

20090284174 | LIGHT EMITTING DIODE CIRCUIT AND ARRANGEMENT AND DEVICE - Disclosed are light emitting diode circuits employing first sub-circuits including first light emitting diodes and connected in parallel with second sub-circuits including second light emitting diodes and switches for, in conducting states, switching on the second light emitting diodes and switching off the first light emitting diodes and for, in non-conducting states, switching off the second light emitting diodes and switching on the first light emitting diodes. The first sub-circuits and the second sub-circuits have different signal characteristics such as different minimum threshold voltages to be realized by using different kinds of light emitting diodes, by using different total numbers of serial light emitting diodes, or by adding threshold voltage elements to the first sub-circuits. | 11-19-2009 |
20090279739 | POINT SUBSELECTION FOR FAST DEFORMABLE POINT-BASED IMAGING - A method for selecting vertices for performing deformable registration of imaged objects is provided. The selected vertices form corresponding pairs, each pair including a vertex from a first imaged object and a vertex from a second imaged object. The corresponding vertex pairs are sorted in order of distance between the vertices making up the corresponding vertex pair. The corresponding vertex pair with the greatest distance is given top priority. Corresponding vertex pairs that lie within a selected distance from the selected corresponding vertex pair are discarded. In this manner, the number of vertex pairs used for deformable registration of the imaged objects is reduced and therefore allows for processing times that are clinically acceptable. | 11-12-2009 |
