  • Systems and methods related to dosimetry for radioembolization, chemoembolization, and drug eluting embolization procedures
    Patent number: 12784890
    Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to determine an effective local dose for a treatment procedure. The systems and methods are configured to determine a mean dose of a particle and a particle density at least a portion of tumor and at least a portion of normal tissue, perform a microdosimetry simulation or calculation, using the mean dose and the particle density, and determine the effective local dose, based on the microdosimetry simulation or calculation. A treatment plan can be arrived at pursuant to such systems and methods.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 3, 2026
    Assignee: City of Hope
    Inventor: Franz E. Boas
  • INTRATUMORAL INFUSION CATHETER
    Publication number: 20260137902
    Abstract: An implantable intratumoral infusion catheter comprises an intratumoral catheter formed of an elongated body having an internal lumen. An anchor mechanism is coupled to the elongated body. The anchor mechanism is configured to interact with a tumor or surrounding tissue to retain the catheter in the tumor.
