Publication number: 20140358447Abstract: Specular, ultrasonic, piezoelectric, detection devices provide real-time, analytical, edge finding in tissues during tumor surgery. Piezoelectric probe sensors at high frequencies (e.g., 10 to 100 MHz) characterize microstructure of cells and tissues. Through-transmission or specular reflection enables nondestructive testing in real time. Peak density analysis in power spectra, second-order spectrum analysis measuring the slope of the Fourier transform of the power spectrum, artificial intelligence pattern recognition, and modeling interpret the results. Model-based data analysis may compare experimental data with a computer simulation. Such comparisons may be based upon pattern classifications, including principal component analysis (PCA). Combining the above detection devices and analytical methods provides speed, accuracy, simplicity, and nondestructive mechanisms that militate for reliable, real-time diagnosis of tumor margins, tissue pathology, cell phenotypes, and molecular subtypes.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2014Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Timothy Edwin Doyle, Laurel Ann Thompson, Leila Jannesari Ladani

Patent number: 8053735Abstract: A method for improving single photon emission computed tomography by controlling acquisition parameters specific to the imaging goals and specific to the individual case under study. Data acquisition is modulated by scanning to adapt to the particular signal to noise characteristics of each object. A preliminary acquisition quickly scans the object of interest. The preliminary data is analyzed to optimize the secondary scan. The secondary scan is then acquired with optimized sampling of the object based on its own particular image characteristics. The system is able to learn, incorporating site specific data into a triaging set.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2008Date of Patent: November 8, 2011Assignee: Utah State UniversityInventors: Raymond P. DeVito, Timothy Edwin Doyle

Publication number: 20090089025Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for determining the internal structure and constituent properties of complexly structured materials using a computational simulation engine to calculate field propagation properties, physical testing of the materials to obtain measured field properties, and correlation of the calculated and measured field properties. The complexly structured materials consist of particles, inclusions, or voids of arbitrary distributions and compositions suspended in a matrix. The particles or inclusions can additionally display substructure such as layers or embedded subparticles, sub-inclusions, or voids. The simulation engine calculates multiple scattering in simulated materials using a multipole expansion method, and is used to generate a look-up table of propagation properties for a range of probable structures and compositions. The measurements are then classified with respect to the look-up table.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2007Publication date: April 2, 2009Inventor: Timothy Edwin Doyle
