David M. Neustadter, Doar-Na Shimshon - Moshav Nof Ayalon IL

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100063384LOCAL INTRA-BODY DELIVERY SYSTEM - A system for delivery of a capsule to a target location within a subject body including a capsule including a locomotion element and a gamma emitting radioactive source, a radiation tracking subsystem capable of locating the gamma emitting radioactive source in three dimensions, and a locomotion control subsystem capable of controlling movement of the capsule by effecting movement of the locomotion element, based, at least partly, on a location of the gamma emitting radioactive source provided by the radiation tracking subsystem. A method of measuring a velocity of flow of a fluid at a target location within a subject body including inserting a capsule including a locomotion element and a gamma emitting radioactive source into the body, using a radiation tracking subsystem to locate the gamma emitting radioactive source in three dimensions, moving the capsule to the target location within the body using a locomotion control subsystem which controls movement of the capsule by effecting movement of the locomotion element, based, at least partly, on location of the gamma emitting radioactive source provided by the radiation tracking subsystem, and measuring the velocity of flow of the fluid at the target location. Related apparatus and methods are also described.03-11-2010

20100042041IMPLANTATION DEVICE FOR SOFT TISSUE MARKERS AND OTHER IMPLANTS - A device for inserting into body tissue an implant with a medical function, with a channel passing at least partly through the implant, the device comprising: 02-18-2010
20110105895GUIDED SURGERY - System and methods for image guided surgery is provided. The surgical tracking system can include at least one sensor configured to acquire a marker signal associated with a first location of a marker within a body and to output a first signal indicative of the first location, and also further configured to acquire a device signal associated with a second location of a movable imaging device and to output a second signal indicative of the second location. The movable imaging device can be configured to generate a plurality of sequential images. The surgical tracking system can further include at least one processor configured to receive the first signal, the second signal, and the plurality of sequential images, and to generate a plurality of composite images where at least one of the plurality of composite images include a visual indication of the first location on at least one of the plurality of sequential images.05-05-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110006212DETECTING PHOTONS IN THE PRESENCE OF A PULSED RADIATION BEAM - A detector system adapted for monitoring a radiation treatment system comprising a pulsed beam radiation source for treating a body with a given beam intensity and beam configuration, with pulse times and intervals between pulses less than 100 milliseconds, using at least one monitoring radiation source located inside or outside the body, the detector system comprising; a) a detector designed to detect radiation from the monitoring source, and subject to interference radiation from the beam source; and b) control circuitry that creates a data record of radiation received by the detector, to provide information about the body; wherein, when the detector detects radiation in real time during operation of the beam, the data record selectively excludes data for radiation received by the detector during the pulses, as opposed to data for radiation received by the detector between pulses.01-13-2011
20110105897HYBRID MEDICAL DEVICE LOCALIZATION SYSTEM - A hybrid radioactive and impedance tracking system for tracking a target in a human or animal body, comprising: a) a radioactive tracking subsystem for tracking the target; b) an impedance tracking subsystem for tracking the target; and c) a processor that uses data from the radioactive tracking subsystem in combination with data from the impedance tracking system to estimate a position of the target.05-05-2011
20110118588Combination MRI and Radiotherapy Systems and Methods of Use - A combination MRI and radiotherapy system comprising: a) an MRI system for imaging a patient receiving radiotherapy, comprising a magnetic field source suitable for generating a magnetic field of strength and uniformity useable for imaging, capable of being ramped up to said magnetic field in less than 10 minutes, and ramped down from said magnetic field in less than 10 minutes; b) a radiation source configured for applying radiotherapy; and c) a controller which ramps the magnetic field source down to less than 20% of said magnetic field strength when the radiation source is to be used for radiotherapy, and ramps the magnetic field source up to said magnetic field strength when the MRI system is to be used for imaging.05-19-2011
