Patent number: 11941768Abstract: Methods and systems for alignment of a subject for medical imaging are disclosed, and involve capturing an image of an anatomical region comprising a target tissue and determining, based on the image and based on a reference image, that a current alignment of the image capture device is aligned with a predefined alignment. The determination is performed before initiating capturing of a time series of fluorescence medical images from fluorescence emission. In response to the determining that the current alignment is aligned with the predefined alignment, capturing of the time series of fluorescence medical images from the fluorescence emission is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Jorgen Walle-Jensen, Lina Gurevich, Gregory Vincent Browne

Patent number: 10722247Abstract: An apparatus and method for introducing portals into bone is described herein. An example apparatus for introducing portals into bone includes a handle, a base, and a driving member. The driving member can be made to project past the base by operating the handle. The base is detachable from the handle. The apparatus also includes a guide coupled at a first end to the handle and at a second end to the base. The base is detachably coupled to the guide. A base coupling detachably coupling the base to the guide includes an actuating member movable between a coupled configuration wherein the base is coupled to the guide and an uncoupled configuration wherein the base is released from the guide. The actuating member is arranged so that motion of the handle toward the base moves the actuating member from the coupled configuration to the uncoupled configuration.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: PYNG MEDICAL CORP.Inventors: Gregory Vincent Browne, Werner Reinhard Simbeck, Christopher Grant Denny, David Brian Bonar, Terence Gilhuly

Patent number: 10293122Abstract: Described herein are introducer devices and methods for using an introducer device to facilitate passing an endoluminal instrument to a target region of a body cavity. An introducer device may include a tubular member having an inner wall that defines a channel configured to receive the endoluminal instrument and a plurality of projections disposed in the channel at perimetrically spaced apart locations around the inner wall, where the projections extend inward and are configured to offset the endoluminal instrument from the inner wall, thereby creating a space between the endoluminal instrument and the inner wall. A method for using an introducer device may include passing the endoluminal instrument to a first instrument insertion depth within the introducer device, advancing the introducer device in the body cavity, and advancing the endoluminal instrument to a second instrument insertion depth within the introducer device.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: NOVADAQ TECHNOLOGIES ULCInventors: Gavin Michael Murray, Gregory Vincent Browne
