Patent number: 8114382Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the detection of myelin and a quantitative measurement of its local concentration in a sample using a benzofuran compound or its radioisotope derivatives. In one embodiment a method of myelin detection comprises identifying a subject at risk of or diagnosed with a myelin-associated neuropathy, parenterally administering to the subject the benzofuran compound, or a derivative of the compound, and determining myelination in the subject by detecting binding in the sample. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of imaging myelinated tissue in a surgical field of mammalian tissue comprising the steps of contacting the surgical site with the benzofuran compound or a radioisotope derivative of the compound, and detecting binding in the surgical site.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2008Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Cristina Abucay Tan Hehir, Stephen Johnson Lomnes, Kenneth Michael Fish, Tiberiu Mircea Siclovan, Michael Christopher Montalto, Tunchiao Hubert Lam

Patent number: 7745222Abstract: Provided herein are amyloid-binding assays that simulate in situ brain conditions by combining binders with various A-beta species on mammalian brain tissue. In general the amyloid-binding assays comprise the steps of (a) contacting a mammalian brain tissue sample with at least one A-beta species; (b) applying a putative binder to the brain tissue sample; and (c) determining whether the putative binder binds to the A-beta species.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2006Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Kenneth Michael Fish, Cristina Tan Hehir, Michael Christopher Montalto, Eric Dustin Agdeppa

Publication number: 20100104513Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for identifying the boundaries of tumors and assessing quantitatively the ability of dyes to highlight a tumor's boundary. In accordance with these methods and systems, images are taken of subjects administered agents labeled with dyes. After accessing the images, tumors are selected and routines employed to both identify the boundaries of the tumors, as well as, to quantify various aspects of the tumor boundaries. From these quantifiable descriptors the performances of the various dyes to highlight the boundaries of tumors are evaluated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2008Publication date: April 29, 2010Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jens Rittscher, Umesha Perdoor Srinivas Adiga, Kenneth Michael Fish, Anup Sood, Kathleen Bove, Evelina Roxana Loghin
