  • Motion compensation of positron emission tomographic data
    Patent number: 12249009
    Abstract: A method for compensating motion in positron emission tomographic, PET, data comprising coincident lines of response from positron-emitting position markers, includes: detecting a slippage of one or more of the position markers; determining slippage correction parameters based on the detected slippage; and applying motion correction to the PET data by taking into account the slippage correction parameters, thereby obtaining a motion-compensated PET data.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 11, 2025
    Assignee: UNIVERSITEIT ANTWERPEN
    Inventors: Alan Miranda, Jeroen Verhaeghe

  • System for integrating processing by application programs in homogeneous and heterogeneous network environments
    Patent number: 5524253
    Abstract: System Configuration files in source code are created from a high level definition of the distributed system which is to be integrated. The configuration files include data such as the types and formats of data for each process on each node of the system, identification of all applications and machine types, topography and the data manipulations needed for sending messages and files and the like from an application program in a first computer language and of a first data type to an application program in a second computer language and of a second data type. Node-specific data manipulation modules are formed at each node during start-up of the system, and these modules are automatically distributed to nodes on the network having the same architecture.
