  • Publication number: 20230144064
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for automatically and systematically generating device-based design rules and corresponding device-based design rule checking (DRC) codes. In the system and method, design rules associated with specific devices are generated based on at least one table of related data (e.g., maturity status information, restriction status information, etc.) for different devices. Based on the design rules and on unique definitions for the specific devices, design rule checking (DRC) codes associated with the specific devices are generated. By using this approach, comprehensive and accurate device-based design rules and corresponding device-based DRC codes can be quickly generated to ensure acceptable product reliability and yield. Furthermore, processes used to generate the device-based DRC codes can be iteratively repeated (e.g.

  • Patent number: 11594321
    Abstract: In a multi-session imaging study, information from a previous imaging session is stored in a Binary Large Object (BLOB). Current emission imaging data are reconstructed into a non-attenuation corrected (NAC) current emission image. A spatial transform is generated aligning a previous NAC emission image from the BLOB to the current NAC emission image. A previous computed tomography (CT) image from the BLOB is warped using the spatial transform, and the current emission imaging data are reconstructed with attenuation correction using the warped CT image. Alternatively, low dose current emission imaging data and a current CT image are acquired, a spatial transform is generated aligning the previous CT image to the current CT image, a previous attenuation corrected (AC) emission image from the BLOB is warped using the spatial transform, and the current emission imaging data are reconstructed using the current CT image with the warped AC emission image as prior.

  • Patent number: 11576628
    Abstract: Emission imaging data are reconstructed to generate a low dose reconstructed image. Standardized uptake value (SUV) conversion (30) is applied to convert the low dose reconstructed image to a low dose SUV image. A neural network (46, 48) is applied to the low dose SUV image to generate an estimated full dose SUV image. Prior to applying the neural network the low dose reconstructed image or the low dose SUV image is filtered using a low pass filter (32). The neural network is trained on a set of training low dose SUV images and corresponding training full dose SUV images to transform the training low dose SUV images to match the corresponding training full dose SUV images, using a loss function having a mean square error loss component (34) and a loss component (36) that penalizes loss of image texture and/or a loss component (38) that promotes edge preservation.
