Patents by Inventor Brian Winey

Brian Winey 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).

  • Acoustically induced blood stasis and in vivo optical spectroscopy
    Patent number: 8855738
    Abstract: Ultrasound-induced blood stasis has been observed for more than thirty years. Most of the literature has been focused on the health risks associated with this phenomenon and methods employed to prevent stasis from occurring during ultrasound imaging. To date, experimental observations have been either in vitro or invasive. The current work demonstrates ultrasound-induced blood stasis in murine tumor and nontumor tissue, observed through noninvasive measurements of optical spectroscopy, and discusses possible diagnostic uses for this previously undesirable effect of ultrasound.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 17, 2006
    Date of Patent: October 7, 2014
    Assignee: University of Rochester
