| 20080214933 | Image-Based Planning Methods and Apparatus for Targeted Therapy - The present invention relates generally to biomedical devices. In particular, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for delivering a patient-specifically optimized treatment plan for targeted drug therapy that takes into account the individual 4-D biodistribution of the given targeted agent. An improvement in clinical outcome can be achieved in terms of disease response and survival rates and/or in terms of quality of life. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080226025 | Device and Method for Mapping the Distribution of an X-ray Fluorescence Marker - The invention relates to a method and a device for determining the distribution of an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) marker ( | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080272309 | X-Ray Detector With Correction for Scattered Radiation - The invention refers to X-ray devices, an X-ray detector and a method of correcting intensity signals. An X-ray detector then comprises for determining the intensity of X-rays, which comprise a proportion of primary radiation having an irradiation direction and a proportion of scattered radiation, at least a first sensor elements, which are each provided for converting the X-rays into first and second intensity signals, and a filter element, which is provided for decreasing the proportion of scattered radiation in the intensity of the X-rays, wherein the second sensor elements are arranged in irradiation direction behind the filter element and wherein the first sensor element fastened to the filter element is provided for determining the intensity of the X-rays before leaving the filter element. The proportion of the scattered radiation calculated from the measuring data of the first and second sensor elements is provided for correcting the second intensity signals for the following image generation. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090046829 | PRODUCTION OF X-RAY IMAGES CONTAINING A REDUCED PROPORTION OF SCATTERED RADIATION - The invention relates to a method, to an X-ray apparatus for performing the method and to a detector arrangement intended for the latter, for producing X-ray images containing a reduced proportion of scattered radiation. The X-ray radiation is detected in this case by a detector arrangement comprising two X-ray detectors, there being provided in the first X-ray detector openings through which the second X-ray detector is able to detect scattered radiation and primary radiation by separate detector elements. The signals given by the second X-ray detector are used to determine the proportion of scattered radiation that is contained in the image produced by the first X-ray detector and to largely free the first image of the proportion of scattered radiation. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090057561 | DIRTY ISOTOPE PET RECONSTRUCTION - A method for use in dirty isotope positron imaging uses information about a measured characteristic of an object ( | 03-05-2009 |
| 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 |
| 20100081857 | SYSTEM, METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND USE FOR PLANNING COMBINED THERAPY - A system and method for planning a necrosis-inducing therapy and subsequent administration of a necrosis-targeting agent are described. The system takes into account the effect of necrosis-induction therapy as a basis for the biodistribution estimate of the necrosis-targeting agent. This interaction between the different calculation steps is essential for an accurate planning result. A computer-readable medium and use are also provided. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100185133 | MULTI-TREATMENT PLANNING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A treatment planning apparatus ( | 07-22-2010 |
| 20110029329 | DOSE-VOLUME KERNEL GENERATION - A radiation planning system includes a dose volume kernel determiner ( | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110081068 | RADIOLOGICAL IMAGING INCORPORATING LOCAL MOTION MONITORING, CORRECTION, AND ASSESSMENT - A radiological imaging method comprises: acquiring radiological lines of response (LOR's) from a subject; grouping the acquired LOR's into time intervals such that each group of LOR's ( | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110158497 | METHOD FOR GENERATION OF ATTENUATION MAP IN PET-MR - A magnetic resonance (MR) image segmentation processor ( | 06-30-2011 |
