Patent number: 8805043Abstract: A computer-based system for creating and using intelligent databases for assisting in intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements. Various embodiments utilize clinical data (images) to design intelligent clinical data sets, including geometric markers like blood vessel centerline, which can then be used with conventional image processing to compute the intima-media thickness of the carotid walls. The intelligent clinical image data utilizes the demographics (ethnity/race, gender and age) to classify the data. Finally, the intelligent database is used to collect intelligent parameters which are then applied to the incoming patients to estimate their intima-media thickness.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignees: Atheropoint LLCInventor: Jasjit S.

Patent number: 8571277Abstract: Presented are systems and methods that allow for interpolation of a 3-D volume from arbitrarily oriented 2-D medical images. The interpolation of 3-D volume from arbitrarily oriented 2-D images reduces or eliminates most constraints on image acquisition thereby allowing for, inter alia, freehand manipulation of an image acquisition device (e.g. an ultrasound transducer). Related utilities involve the use of prior information about a specific object of interest to interpolate a surface (e.g., 3-D surface) of the object from limited information obtained from very few 2-D images.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2007Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Eigen, LLCInventors: Jasjit S.

Patent number: 8425418Abstract: A system and method (i.e, utility) are disclosed for positioning a needle in three-dimensions based on patient related statistics for extracting tissue during biopsy procedures. Aspects of the utility can be applied independently or serve as an aid to the urologist when regions of interest are hard to discern in an ultrasound image. Regions of interest that correspond to high cancer risk regions (e.g., statistically) are automatically superimposed on an ultrasound image of a patient in real time. Additionally a statistical map based on one or more demographic parameters of a patient and containing cancer probability locations are also automatically mapped on the ultrasound image in real time displaying potential cancer locations. Aspects of the system are also capable of displaying optimal needle placement positions based on statistical priors and will be able to accurately navigate the needle to that position for biopsy extraction and/or treatment.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2007Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Eigen, LLCInventors: Jasjit S.

Publication number: 20120316442Abstract: Automated IMT system hypothesize that far wall of the common carotid artery has the highest intensity. In this current application, we verify that this hypothesis holds true for B-mode or RF-mode longitudinal ultrasound images of the carotid wall. The methodology consists of generating the composite image (arithmetic sum of images) from the database by first registering the carotid image frames with respect to a nearly straight carotid artery frame from the same database using (a) B-spline based non-rigid registration and (b) affine registration. Prior to registration, we segment the carotid artery lumen using a level set based algorithm followed by morphological image processing. The binary lumen images are registered and the transformations are applied to the original grayscale CCA images. These B-mode or RF-mode ultrasound images are then used for IMT computation using automated methods which hypothesize that far wall has the brightest intensity distribution.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2012Publication date: December 13, 2012Applicant: AtheroPoint LLCInventor: Jasjit S.

Patent number: 8278913Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for position sensing of a medical tracker device are presented. The apparatus and method are designed to constrain, rotate, and track the position of a medical tool. To improve the position sensing of the tracker, a joint that provides two degrees of freedom may use a revolute gear pair together with a rotary sensor for angular motion sensing and a sliding/prismatic assembly together with a linear magnetic sensor for linear position sensing. Thus, the linear motion sensing and the angular motion sensing are decoupled.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Eigen Inc.Inventors: Dinesh Kumar, Guangyao Xu, Jasjit S.
