| 20090177033 | CAPSULE CAMERA WITH VARIABLE ILLUMINATION OF THE SURROUNDING TISSUE - The application relates to an ingestible capsule and method for in vivo imaging and/or treatment of one or more diseased areas of interest within the gastrointestinal tract of an animal or human being. The capsule comprises an image sensor; a lens system for focusing images onto the image sensor; at least one light source for illumination of the tissue area of interest, the at least one light source optionally being capable of providing optical therapeutic treatment to the diseased areas; a variable lens system located in front of the at least one light source, wherein the variable lens system comprises beam steering means and focusing means for directing and focusing the light beams from the at least one light source onto the diseased tissue areas, a control unit in communication with the image sensor, the at least one light source, and variable lens system, a power source for powering the image sensor, the at least one light source and the control unit; and a non-digestible, transparent outer protective shell configured to pass through the gastrointestinal tract, housing within the image sensor, the lens system, the at least one light source, the variable lens system, the control unit and the power source. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090197272 | VITRO METHOD OF DETECTING AND/OR DIAGNOSING CANCER USING UV LIGHT BASED DNA IMAGE CYTOMETRY - The invention relates to a method of determining in vitro the amount of nuclear DNA within a human or animal cell using UV absorption measurement with UV light. The invention also relates to a method for detecting in vitro cancerous cells in a biological sample relying on the aforementioned principles. The invention also relates to an in vitro method of diagnosing or predicting the likely occurrence of cancer in a human or animal subject. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20090318812 | ULTRASOUND WAVEGUIDE - In a medical therapy or diagnostic system, magnetic resonance (MR) techniques are used in order to determine the position of the focal point of an ultrasound wave with respect to a patient's body. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an ultrasound waveguide which could be used within a magnetic resonance environment. To better address these concerns, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide an ultrasound waveguide comprising an electrically conducting section and an electrically isolating section. A reduction of the length of an electrically isolating section possibly decreases the electromagnetic coupling of the high frequency electromagnetic field in the MR environment to the electrically conducting section. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20090326359 | METHOD OF IN VIVO DETECTION AND/OR DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER USING FLUORESCENCE BASED DNA IMAGE CYTOMETRY - The invention relates to a method of determining in vivo in a human or animal subject the amount of nuclear DNA by first localizing cell nuclei of living tissue and subsequently measuring the nuclear UV absorbance using confocal scanning microscopy. The invention relates also to a method for detecting cancerous cells in vivo in a human or animal subject by first identifying the localization of cell nuclei in living tissue and subsequently determining the nuclear UV absorbance by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of diagnosing cancer in a human or animal subject in vivo relying on a combination of identifying the localization of cell nuclei in living tissue and measuring nuclear UV absorbance by laser scanning confocal microscopy. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100030067 | SYSTEM, METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM AND USE FOR IMAGING OF TISSUE IN AN ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE - A system for imaging of prostate cancer in a prostate in vivo is provided. The system utilizes Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) for creating a 3D image for the detection of suspicious prostate tissue. The DOT image may be used to guide the biopsy, thereby reducing the number of false negatives. A method, computer-readable medium and use are also provided. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100056916 | SYSTEM, DEVICE, METHOD, COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND USE FOR IN VIVO IMAGING OF TISSUE IN AN ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE - A system is provided that may be used for locating and diagnosing lesions in the human body in vivo. In some embodiments, once the exact position of a lesion is found, a biopsy may be taken from the lesion using e.g. ultra sound techniques for guidance of the biopsy needle. Use of the system drastically reduces the negative biopsy samples compared to currently used “blind sampling” techniques. This reduces patient discomfort and minimizes infections as the number of biopsy samples is reduced. A method and computer-readable medium is also provided. | 03-04-2010 |
