  • Automated vascular region separation in medical imaging
    Patent number: 9042611
    Abstract: A system and/or method automatically identifies one or more vascular regions in a medical image or set of medical images. For example, the system/method may automatically identify vascular structures as belonging to the left carotid, right carotid, and/or basilar vascular regions in the head. The system/method takes as input the medical image(s) and automatically identifies one or more vascular regions. The system/method may also automatically generate MIP renderings of the identified region or regions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2015
    Assignees: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Daniel J. Blezek, Bradley J. Erickson, Peter J. Schommer, David R. Limpert, Nelson Ramirez

  • Software architecture for providing a connection handle association
    Patent number: 7089565
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a reusable connection handle to managed connections within transactions, or other scoping mechanisms, preferably in a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) software architecture on a computer platform. The system and method further allows for multiple connection handles to share the same managed connection within, but not outside of, the confines of the scoping mechanism. The connection handle is selectively disassociated from a managed connection whereby the connection handle enters a disassociated state, and then is selectively reassociated with a managed connection within the software architecture when desired.
