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 |

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 |
20110293143 | FUNCTIONAL IMAGING - A method includes generating a kinetic parameter value for a VOI in a functional image of a subject based on motion corrected projection data using an iterative algorithm, including determining a motion correction for projection data corresponding to the VOI based on the VOI, motion correcting the projection data corresponding to the VOI to generate the motion corrected projection data, and estimating the at least one kinetic parameter value based on the motion corrected projection data or image data generated with the motion corrected projection data. In another embodiment, a method includes registering functional image data indicative of tracer uptake in a scanned patient with image data from a different imaging modality, identifying a VOI in the image based on the registered images, generating at least one kinetic parameter for the VOI, and generating a feature vector including the at least one generated kinetic parameter and at least one bio- marker. | 12-01-2011 |

20130261440 | INTEGRATED WORK-FLOW FOR ACCURATE INPUT FUNCTION ESTIMATION - When estimating an arterial input function or a patient under study, cross-calibration factors are generated by comparing nuclear scan data of a radioactive material (e.g., F18) and measuring a sample of the radioactive material in a gamma counter. The derived cross-calibration factors are applied to venous samples collected from the patient during a nuclear scan after infusion with a radioactive tracer, to convert gamma values counted by the gamma counter into concentration values. The concentration values are used to optimize an initial estimated input function, thereby generating an arterialized input function. | 10-03-2013 |
20140142911 | MULTI-TREATMENT PLANNING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A treatment planning apparatus includes a treatment modeler. The treatment modeler uses models of a plurality of treatment modalities in a treatment space to generate a treatment protocol that includes one or more the modalities in the treatment space. In one implementation, a treatment modality includes the removal of targeted treatment agents from an object. | 05-22-2014 |
