| 20090043172 | MULTI-MODAL IMAGING SYSTEM AND WORKSTATION WITH SUPPORT FOR STRUCTURED HYPOTHESIS TESTING - Investigation of in vivo models of disease requires imaging studies involving single subjects in single imaging sessions, serial imaging of individuals or groups of subjects, and integration of data across diverse and heterogeneous experimental methodologies. Each type of experiment is preferably supported by various feature sets that can be rigorously applied to produce quantitative, reproducible results. Current imaging scanners are not equipped with standardized capability that supports an automated and scientifically rigorous workflow suited to hypothesis testing. An imaging system includes a research workstation at which a user can design, execute, study, and report imaging plans. Flexibility that comes along with a modular design of the system allows the user to customize workflow parameters for more robust hypothesis testing. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090088620 | QUANTITATIVE CLINICAL AND PRE-CLINICAL IMAGING - In a clinical or preclinical imaging system, an image acquisition subsystem includes a data acquisition and image reconstruction elements generating clinical or preclinical images. A quantitative image processing subsystem generates variability metadata associated with the clinical or preclinical images, and a clinically or preclinically significant result with an associated confidence interval computed based on the variability metadata. A user interface displays the clinically or preclinically significant result together with the associated confidence interval. A phantom for calibrating such an imaging system includes a deformable nonbiological structure approximating structure of a clinical or preclinical subject to be imaged, and fiducial markers detectable by the imaging system disposed on or in the deformable nonbiological structure to move with deformation of the deformable nonbiological structure. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100172565 | PRECLINICAL TIME OF FLIGHT IMAGING - A preclinical positron emission tomography (PET) imaging method includes acquiring time-of-flight localized PET imaging data from one or more non-human animal subjects and reconstructing the acquired data to form an image. In an illustrative PET scanner includes: radiation detectors ( | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100198047 | SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING CAPSULE AND BED SYSTEM - In a small animal imaging system ( | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100266190 | SYSTEM FOR QUANTIFICATION OF NEOVASCULATURE IN CT VOLUMES - When quantifying neo-vasculature growth measured using a CT scanner ( | 10-21-2010 |
| 20120061576 | PET DETECTOR SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED CAPABILITIES FOR QUANTIFICATION - A nuclear medical imaging system employing radiation detection modules with pixelated scintillator crystals includes a scatter detector ( | 03-15-2012 |
