Patents by Inventor Anat Caspi

Anat Caspi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7633501
    Abstract: A computer-aided diagnostic method and system provide image annotation information that can include an assessment of the probability, likelihood or predictive value of detected or identified suspected abnormalities as an additional aid to the radiologist. More specifically, probability values, in numerical form and/or analog form, are added to the locational markers of the detected and suspected abnormalities. The task of a physician using such a system as disclosed is believed to be made easier by displaying markers representing different regions of interest.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2006
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2009
    Assignee: MeVis Medical Solutions, Inc.
    Inventors: Susan A. Wood, Heidi Zhang, Anat Caspi, Takeshi Doi, Harlan M. Romsdahl

  • Patent number: 6909794
    Abstract: The invention provides a hierarchical method that is based on multi-scale computation and motion-tracking algorithms to register images. A hierarchical registration algorithm is used to address extrinsic and intrinsic variations. In particular, a global similarity transformation is applied to align anatomical structures in a global manner. Next, a local similarity transformation is applied to fine-tune and adjust internal details. The registration output provides the input necessary for other automated computations, such as volume and size comparisons and measurements.
