  • System and method for linking VOIs across timepoints for analysis of disease progression or response to therapy
    Patent number: 8160314
    Abstract: A system and method for linking volumes of interest (VOIs) across timepoints are provided. The method comprises: loading an image dataset of a first timepoint and an image dataset of a second timepoint; registering the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; displaying the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; selecting a VOI in the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint; and linking the VOIs in the image dataset of the first timepoint and the image dataset of the second timepoint.
    Type: Grant

  • Mobile camera for organ targeted imaging
    Patent number: 7825383
    Abstract: A mobile detector system for use in the detection of radiation photons. The detector system includes an exterior casing, having an internal area. The internal area has an interior periphery and an exterior periphery, at least one rail, at least one mobile camera, that is movably mounted on the at least one rail, and at least one motor. The motor drives at least one mobile camera, and the at least one mobile camera is movable along at least one rail within the exterior casing, to a plurality of radiation receiving positions.

  • System and method for loading timepoints for analysis of disease progression or response to therapy
    Publication number: 20060030769
    Abstract: A system and method for loading a timepoint for comparison with a previously loaded timepoint are provided. The method comprises: selecting an image dataset of the timepoint; validating the image dataset of the timepoint against a validated image dataset of the previously loaded timepoint; and constructing a volume based on the image dataset of the timepoint.
