  • Patent number: 10973526
    Abstract: Patient-specific 3D complex coils and methods of making and using such coils, including custom fixtures for the manufacture of such coils. Such patient-specific 3D complex coils improve treatment outcomes for cerebral aneurysm repair. The aneurysm may be an aneurysm in a specific patient and/or population of patients having a similar aneurysm shape and size.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190251866
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide a novel computational approach to planning the endovascular treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In particular, the invention simulates medical device deployment and hemodynamic outcomes using a virtual patient-specific anatomical model of the area to be treated, high-fidelity finite element medical device models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In an embodiment, the described approach investigates the effects of coil packing density, coil shape, aneurysmal neck size and parent vessel flow rate on aneurysmal hemodynamics. A processor may receive patient clinical data used to construct the relevant anatomical structure model. The processor may access medical device models constructed using finite element analysis and three dimensional beam analysis, and simulates the deployment of selected medical devices in the anatomical structure model.

  • Patent number: 8730268
    Abstract: A system for generating an output image based on an original image via an imaging application can comprise a parsing module, an optical flow displacement module, and a new pixel generation module. The parsing module can establish a magnified resolution lattice from an original resolution lattice of the original image. The optical flow displacement module can establish optical displacement vectors extending, within the magnified resolution lattice, between original pixels and optical displacement locations, the optical displacement vectors based on one-dimensional optical flow brightness constraint calculations for the original pixels. The new pixel generation module can generate new pixels in the magnified resolution lattice via one or more interpolations based on the optical displacement vectors. Other embodiments and related methods are also disclosed herein.
