Patents by Inventor Steven Suddarth

Steven Suddarth 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: 12078700
    Abstract: Spin resonance spectroscopy and/or imaging is achieved using a system that combines longitudinal (e.g., along the z-axis) detection with a modulated fictitious field generated by a transverse plane (e.g., xy-plane) RF field. Based on z-axis detection of magnetization polarized by this fictitious field as it is modulated (e.g., modulated on and off, or otherwise), spin resonance signals (e.g., EPR, NMR) are measurable with high isolation simultaneous transmit and receive capability. Additionally or alternatively, spin relaxation times can be measured using the described systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7011814
    Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and computer program products monitor in vivo detected radiation in a target localized site within a subject, over a selected time period, to do one or more of: (a) quantify a radiation dose received at a local site; (b) assess bioreceptiveness to a particular treatment time or type; (c) evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a radiolabeled analyte corresponding to a non-radiolabeled analyte; (d) monitor or evaluate metabolic activity; or (e) evaluate a tumor prior to or after a therapeutic treatment.

  • Publication number: 20050287065
    Abstract: System for analyzing an in vivo response of a subject include a radiation detector for detecting radiation present in at least one localized solid tissue region of interest in a subject associated with internal activity of an administered quantity of an analyte comprising at least one of C-14 labeled glucose, a C-14 labeled constituent thereof, and a C-14 labeled glucose derivative, in the at least one solid tissue region of interest over a desired time interval of interest; and a reader in communication with the implantable detector for collecting radiation data from the detector associated with the detected radiation to determine at least one of the following; the in vivo dynamic, kinetic, and metabolic response of the subject.
