Patent number: 12462371Abstract: This computer-implemented method allows assessing the shear elasticity modulus of a flexible tube, such as a blood vessel. In the field of medicine, this allows assessing whether a blood vessel is at risk of breakage or tearing. In the case of an artificial tube to be implanted in a patient's body, this allows verifying that this tube is compatible with the patient's body. The method includes the following further steps: a) obtaining (1002) a first dataset relating to spatiotemporal deformations of the tube; b) detecting and storing (1004) a wall inner surface of the tube and its diameter (D); c) identifying (1006) a number of transverse sections (Sij) of the tube; d) computing (1008) an average particle velocity (Vij) over each section; e) computing (1010) a wave propagation speed (C2) of an antisymmetric wave (W2); f) based on the wave propagation speed (C2) and on the diameter (D), assessing (1012) the shear elasticity modulus (?) of the tube.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2022Date of Patent: November 4, 2025Assignees: INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE (INSERM)—RAISON SOCIALE OBSOLETE, CENTRE LEON BERARD, UNIVERSITE CLAUDE BERNARD LYON 1, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE, CENTRE HOSPITALIER NATIONAL D'OPTHALMOLOGIE QUINZE-VINGTSInventors: Michael Atlan, Stefan Catheline, Gabrielle Laloy-Borgna, Léo Puyo

Patent number: 11457806Abstract: According to a first aspect, the present disclosure relates to a digital holography device (100) for full-field blood flow imaging of ocular vessels of a field of view of a layer (11) of the eye (10). The device comprises an optical source (101) configured for the generation of an illuminating beam (Eobj) and a reference beam (ELO), and a detector (135) configured to acquire a plurality of interferograms (I(x,y,t)) wherein an interferogram is defined as the signal resulting from the interference between the said reference beam (ELO) and a part of said illuminating beam (Eobj) that is backscattered from said layer (11).Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignees: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS), ECOLE SUPÉRIEURE DE PHYSIQUE ET DE CHIMIE INDUSTRIELLES DE LA VILLE DE PARISInventors: Léo Puyo, Michael Atlan

Patent number: 11099522Abstract: According to one aspect, the invention concerns an optical imaging device (20) for an object (OBJ) by off-axis holography comprising a light source (21) adapted for emitting an illumination wave (EI) on the object, in transmission or reflection, and an assembly formed by one or more thick Bragg gratings (22) for receiving a wave (EO) coming from the object thus illuminated and for deflecting a first component (ER) of the wave coming from the object, called the reference wave, and to allow a second component (ES) of the wave coming from the object, called the signal wave, to pass without deflection in such a way that the deflected reference wave presents predetermined deflection angles with respect to the non-deflected signal wave defined in two perpendicular planes.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignees: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS), ECOLE SUPÉRIEURE DE PHYSIQUE ET DE CHIMIE INDUSTRIELLES, DE LA VILLE DE PARISInventors: Michael Atlan, Jean-Pierre Huignard
