  • Method for treating a neoplastic disorder
    Patent number: 9320757
    Abstract: A method for treating a neoplastic disorder in a subject includes administering to the neoplastic cells a neoplastic cell-sensitizing composition including a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) copolymer. The poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) copolymer can sensitize the neoplastic cells to hyperthermia. Energy can be applied to the neoplastic cells to heat and ablate the cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 29, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2016
    Assignee: Case Western Reserve University
    Inventors: Agata Exner, Tianyi Krupka, Brent Weinberg, John Haaga

  • X-ray dose control based on patient size
    Publication number: 20050031082
    Abstract: Automatic x-ray dosage control based on patient size is described. The system provides a computer-based system for determining patient size based on mathematical analysis of light employed to illuminate a patient and light detectors. The system also provides a computer based system for calculating an x-ray dose parameter based on the determined patient size.

  • Pneumatically actuated tissue sampling device
    Patent number: 6273861
    Abstract: A novel instrument for automatic sampling or removal of tissue percutaneously from a patient. In a disclosed embodiment the instrument comprises a housing, a means for excising tissue from a target site within a patient's body extending from the housing, a means for impelling the excising means into a target tissue site in response to an impelling force, and a rotatable handle.
