  • Computed tomography machine for interventional use
    Patent number: 11311264
    Abstract: A computed tomography machine suitable for interventional procedures provides partial scans displaced about the patient away from the physician position to substantially reduce Compton scattering received by the physician. A modeling of patient dose accounting for the presence of shielding, different physician characteristics, patient positions, and probe position may be accomplished to affect a trade-off between these various factors optimized for interventional or similar procedures where a nonpatient must be close to the scanner during operation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2022
    Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation
    Inventors: Timothy Szczykutowicz, Emily Knott, Fred Lee
