Publication number: 20200286601Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a representation of a target volume and sub-volumes of the target volume is rendered and displayed. Information in computer system memory that includes a dose rate received by each sub-volume is accessed. A value of an attribute is associated with each sub-volume, where the value corresponds to an amount of the dose rate received by that sub-volume. Each sub-volume is then rendered according to that value. The GUI may include a dose rate-volume histogram and/or an irradiation time-volume histogram for the target volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2019Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventors: Deepak KHUNTIA, Edward VERTATSCHITSCH, Eric ABEL, Anthony MAGLIARI, Christel SMITH

Patent number: 9919165Abstract: Various embodiments disclose systems and methods for tracking regions (e.g., tumor locations) within living organisms. Some embodiments provide real-time, highly accurate, low latency measurements of tumor location even as the tumor moves with internal body motions. Such measurements may be suitable for closed-loop radiation delivery applications where radiation therapy may be continuously guided to the tumor site even as the tumor moves. Particularly, the system may dynamically identify planned to actual fiducial correspondences by iterating through the possible assignment permutations. A successful permutation may be recorded and used to orient the patient during follow up treatment sessions.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Varian Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Edward Vertatschitsch, Raymond Kraft, Joseph Schumm, Andrea Morgan

Patent number: 7974585Abstract: A method of performing a frequency correction of a radio module. Multiple samples of frequency data during a quiescent portion of the base station transmission is taken to estimate the amount of frequency correction needed. An embodiment applies the frequency data to a median filter to eliminate invalid data. Next, a new reference frequency is applied to a radio transceiver in the radio module to provide the frequency correction. If the frequency was corrected by greater than a pre-determined amount, the process performs a large shift frequency correction, including verifying that the first frequency correction was satisfactory and verifying that the radio transceiver is able to receive data after the frequency correction has been performed. If the frequency was corrected by smaller than a pre-determined amount, the process performs a small shift frequency correction, including updating a total of all frequency corrections made since a stored reference frequency was updated.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2010Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Kenneth Johnson, John Brown, Edward Vertatschitsch

Patent number: 7272369Abstract: Frequency correction of a radio module. An estimate is made of the amount of frequency correction needed while applying an original reference frequency. If the frequency correction needed is greater than a pre-determined amount, a large shift frequency correction is performed, including applying a new reference frequency and verifying that the large shift frequency correction is satisfactory. If the large shift frequency correction is unsatisfactory, the original reference frequency is restored. If the frequency correction needed is smaller than a pre-determined amount, a small shift frequency correction is performed, including applying a new reference frequency and updating a total of all frequency corrections made since a stored reference frequency was updated.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2005Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Palm, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Johnson, John Brown, Edward Vertatschitsch

Publication number: 20060093089Abstract: Systems and methods for treating a lung of a patient. One embodiment of a method comprises positioning a leadless marker in the lung of the patient relative to the target, and collecting position data of the marker. This method further comprises determining the location of the marker in an external reference frame outside of the patient based on the collected position data, and providing an objective output in the external reference frame that is responsive to movement of the marker. The objective output is provided at a frequency (i.e., periodicity) that results in a clinically acceptable tracking error. In addition, the objective output can also be provided at least substantially contemporaneously with collecting the position data used to determine the location of the marker.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2005Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventors: Edward Vertatschitsch, Steven Dimmer, Timothy Mate, Eric Meier, Keith Seiler, J.
