20120106820RECONSTRUCTION STABILIZER AND ACTIVE VISION - A method for stabilizing the reconstruction of an imaged volume is presented. The method includes the steps of performing an analysis of the reliability of reconstruction of a radioactive-emission density distribution of the volume from radiation detected over a specified set of views, and defining modifications to the reconstruction process and/or data collection process to improve the reliability of reconstruction, in accordance with the analysis.05-03-2012
20110112856MEDICAL IMAGING PROCEDURES AND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING MEDICAL IMAGING PROCEDURES - A method for managing a plurality of medical imaging procedures. The method comprises associating a machine readable tag with each of a plurality of patients designated for a plurality of medical imaging procedures, monitoring a progress of at least one of the plurality of patients in a respective the medical imaging procedure, and managing at least one medical imaging resource for performing the plurality of medical imaging procedures according to the progress.05-12-2011
20100245354DYNAMIC SPECT CAMERA - A dynamic SPECT camera is provided, comprising, a plurality of single-pixel detectors, a timing mechanism, in communication with each single-pixel detector, configured for enabling time-binning of the radioactive emissions impinging upon each single-pixel detector to time periods not greater than substantially 30 seconds, and a position-tracker, configured for providing information on the position and orientation of each detecting unit, with respect to the overall structure, substantially at all times, during the individual motion, the dynamic SPECT camera being configured for acquiring a tomographic reconstruction image of a region of interest of about 15×15×15 cubic centimeters, during an acquisition time of 30 seconds, at a spatial resolution of at least 10×10×10 cubic millimeter. The dynamic camera is configured for very short damping time, and may further acquire images in a stationary mode, with no motion. It is further configured for time binning at dynamically varying time-bin lengths, dynamically determining a spectral energy bin for each detecting unit, and employing an anatomic construction of voxels in the imaging and reconstruction.09-30-2010
