| 20100298680 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING A PROPERTY OF LIVING TISSUE - The invention relates to a measurement of tissue properties, in particular glucose, by measuring the response of the tissue to an applied electric field. The tissue is modeled by a System of homogeneous layers. In one approach, a plurality of electrical fields are generated in the tissue at different frequencies. For each of the fields, a signal depending on the dielectric permittivity as seen by the electrode arrangement at the frequency is measured, thereby generating a measured dataset. In another approach the different electrode configurations can be used to achieve different penetration depths in the desired layers. A function is then fitted to the dataset by varying at least some parameters of the function. These parameters describe the dispersion of the dielectric permittivity of a plurality of layers in the tissue. At least part of the parameters obtained in this fitting procedure are then used for determining the desired tissue property. Furthermore a combination of these two approaches can be used to optimize the uniqueness of the Solution of the fitting procedure for changes at a specific depth. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20110163911 | Identification and Analysis of Persistent Scatterers In Series of SAR Images - Disclosed herein is a method for identifying persistent scatterers in digital “Synthetic Aperture Radar” images of an area of Earth's surface each taken at a respective time. The method involves processing the digital Synthetic Aperture Radar images to produce digital generalized differential interferograms. The method further involves analyzing properties of pairs of pixels in the digital generalized differential interferograms to identify individual pixels imaging persistent scatterers. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20080219405 | System and method for patient setup for radiotherapy treatment - Positioning an anatomical feature of a patient during repeated radiotherapy treatments, and accounting for variations in that position between treatments allow a patient to be placed in a substantially repeatable orientation with respect to a treatment device. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090022383 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COMPENSATING FOR CHANGES IN ANATOMY OF RADIOTHERAPY PATIENTS - Portal images are combined with 3D ultrasound to determine adjustments to patient treatment parameters. The images are acquired while the patient is in an initial position, and the images are registered to a treatment coordinate system. The images are combined and outlines of anatomical structures are superimposed on the portal images, resulting in new portal images that incorporate the anatomy extracted from the ultrasound. The enhanced portal images are used to identify modifications to the treatment parameters. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090024030 | Methods and systems for guiding the acquisition of ultrasound images - A method of presenting a suggested path for an ultrasound probe along a patient's surface includes obtaining a three-dimensional, non-ultrasound image of the patient and an ultrasound image of the patient. A treatment area is defined within the within the three-dimensional, non-ultrasound image, and using the images, defining a scanning site contour of an anatomical structure of interest within the patient and an external contour of the patient's surface. A preferred path of the ultrasound scan is projected onto the external contour such that an operator can reproduce the ultrasound scan without knowledge of the anatomical structure of interest. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090275830 | Methods and Systems for Lesion Localization, Definition and Verification - A method and apparatus for lesion or organ definition for the purpose of radiation treatment planning localization and treatment position verification. The apparatus uses a combination of an ultrasound imaging system and a diagnostic imaging system to acquire localization ultrasound images referenced in the coordinate space of the diagnostic imaging system through the use of position sensing system. The method compares the location of the lesion in the localization ultrasound images with the position of the lesion in ultrasound images taken while the patient lies on the treatment table of a therapy treatment unit, suggests corrective measures to place the lesion in its intended treatment position and executes the correction upon confirmation from qualified personnel. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100099989 | Radiotherapy Treatment Monitoring Using Ultrasound - Methods and systems for assessing the effects of therapy on a patient include obtaining baseline and treatment ultrasound scans of a treatment area of a patient where the treatment ultrasound scans are taken subsequent to the baseline scan and at various times during a course of radiotherapy treatment sessions. The baseline and treatment ultrasounds are compared, and as a result a damage map representing cell death within the treatment area can be constructed. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100268073 | Verifying Lesion Characteristics Using Beam Shapes - A patient's lesion is localized for the purpose of administering radiation treatment by obtaining a beam shape representation along one or more beam directions of a radiation treatment device. An image corresponding to the lesion is obtained from each beam direction, and the beam shape and image are fixed to a common coordinate system to facilitate alignment. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110009742 | ADAPTIVE RADIOTHERAPY TREATMENT USING ULTRASOUND - Radiation treatment is delivered to a patient by positioning the patient such that a radiation beam is delivered to a lesion within the patient along a beam-delivery path while securing a diagnostic imaging device about the patient such that the diagnostic imaging device does not intersect the beam-delivery path. Radiation therapy is simultaneously delivered along the beam-delivery path while diagnostic images are obtained using the imaging device. | 01-13-2011 |
