Patent number: 8586932Abstract: A method of radioactive-emission-measurement. The method comprises providing a camera for the detection of single emissions, which defines proximal and distal ends. The camera is configured for enabling a reconstruction of a volumetric image having a line spread function of less than 7 mm Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) when given a substantially line source of radioactive emission, with an activity of 5 mCi, within a region-of-interest volume, at a distance of at least 100 mm from said distal end, with air being substantially the only operating medium. The method further comprises detecting at least 1 of every 5000 photons, emitted from at least one radioactive-emission source, located within a certain region-of-interest volume, using the camera, and reconstructing a volumetric radioactive-emission image from the detected photons.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2007Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Spectrum Dynamics LLCInventors: Benny Rousso, Shlomo Ben-Haim, Michael Nagler, Omer Ziv, Ran Ravhon, Dalia Dickman, Yoel Zilberstein, Eli Dichterman, Simona Ben-Haim, Shankar Vallabhajosula, Daniel Berman, Zohar Bronshtine, Ziv Popper, Nir Weissberg, Nathaniel Roth, Haim Melman

Patent number: 8565860Abstract: A radioactive emission probe in communication with a position tracking system and the use thereof in a variety of systems and methods of medical imaging and procedures, are provided. Specifically, wide aperture collimation—deconvolution algorithms are provided, for obtaining a high-efficiency, high resolution image of a radioactivity emitting source, by scanning the radioactivity emitting source with a probe of a wide-aperture collimator, and at the same time, monitoring the position of the radioactive emission probe, at very fine time intervals, to obtain the equivalence of fine-aperture collimation. The blurring effect of the wide aperture is then corrected mathematically. Furthermore, an imaging method by depth calculations is provided, based on the attenuation of photons of different energies, which are emitted from the same source, coupled with position monitoring.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2003Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Biosensors International Group, Ltd.Inventors: Yoav Kimchy, Roni Amrami, Yona Bouskila, Udi Antebi, Nick Sidorenko, Gal Ben-David, Yoel Zilberstein
