Oskar Hujer 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).

  • Patent number: 11937969
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method and a system that allows to accurately calculate positional information of moving image modality components for a sequence of tomographic exposures. The method allows to accurately determine the exact positions of said movable image modality components, and thus the acquisition geometry at the time of the tomographic acquisition, which allows a more accurate image reconstruction.

  • Patent number: 7620230
    Abstract: The invention relates to an image carrier for the storage of X-ray information, including an electronic memory for the storage of data, as well as a corresponding system for the processing of such an image carrier. In order to reduce the storage space requirement in the electronic memory of the image carrier, especially with at the same time a high level of availability of all necessary data, it is envisaged that the data stored in the electronic memory of the image carrier contain at least one reference code that refers to data stored in a central memory.

  • Patent number: 7427769
    Abstract: The invention relates to an image carrier for the storage of X-ray information, as well as a corresponding system and method for the processing of such an image carrier. In order to improve the reliability when taking account of the sensitivity of the image carrier to X-radiation, the image carrier includes an electronic memory for the storage of calibration data of the image carrier that represent a measure of the sensitivity of the image carrier to X-radiation and can be used in a processing of image signals that are obtained on a reading of the X-ray information from the image carrier.

  • Patent number: 7095034
    Abstract: The invention relates to an image carrier for the storage of X-ray information, and includes an electronic memory in which data can be stored. In order to reduce the danger of loss of data it is envisaged that the image carrier comprises a mark that represents at least a part of the data stored in the electronic memory.
