  • Methods and systems for functional imaging of cardiac tissue
    Patent number: 8666138
    Abstract: One embodiment of these teachings includes an imaging modality that is based on the ability of imaging technologies to detect wave-induced tissue deformation at depth, that allows viewing the propagation of action potentials deep within myocardial tissue, thereby helping to clarify clinical and physiological dynamical issues.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2010
    Date of Patent: March 4, 2014
    Assignee: Cornell University
    Inventors: Niels F. Otani, Stefan Luther, Robert F. Gilmour, Jr., Rupinder Singh
