Patents by Inventor Lev Perelman

Lev Perelman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Polarized light scattering spectroscopy of tissue
    Patent number: 6624890
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of polarized light to measure properties of tissue. More particularly, polarized light can be used to detect dysplasia in tissue as the polarization of back-scattered light from such tissues is preserved while the contribution of diffusely scattered light from underlying tissues can be removed. A fiber optic system for delivery and collection of light can be used to measure tissues within the human body.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 24, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 23, 2003
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Vadim Backman, Ramachandra R. Dasari, Rajan Gurjar, Irving Itzkan, Lev Perelman, Michael S. Feld
