  • Publication number: 20250387645
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are disclosed for radiation treatment of tumors based at least in part on patient-specific imaging information. The methods, systems and apparatuses include computer programs encoded on computer-readable media. The methods include acquiring imaging information relating to a target to be treated. The imaging information is non-anatomic imaging information relating to the target acquired from at least one imaging marker that reflects at least one of the metabolic, physiological and histological features of the target. The methods further include computing a radiation dose based at least on the imaging information.

  • Patent number: 10966694
    Abstract: A primary sample holder for imaging, gross pathology, or histological correlations of a biological sample includes an enclosure having a first side wall, a second side wall, and a bottom wall; a plurality of slots provided at predetermined intervals along the first and second side walls; and a grid recessed within the bottom wall. The grid includes a hole bisected by a central panel and at least one axial panel that intersects the central panel along a length thereof. The biological sample received by the primary sample holder is configured to be aligned with the central panel of the grid to align the biological sample along an accepted internal orientation line (e.g., the anterior-posterior commissure line in the brain). The slots are configured to receive a cutting device to cut the biological sample into slices of uniform thickness containing a region of interest based on histological and imaging findings.

  • Publication number: 20180303559
    Abstract: An electronic position guidance device is configured to attach to a medical device having a first end configured for percutaneous insertion and a second end configured to remain exterior to a patient's skin. The device includes an orientation attachment configured to detect an orientation and a position of the medical device, a processor configured to receive orientation and position information from the orientation attachment and determine a degree to which an actual insertion angle of the medical device deviates from a target angle and/or a degree to which an actual insertion depth of the medical device deviates from a target insertion depth, a display configured to visually convey to a user, in real-time via graphic, text and/or color, the orientation and the position of the medical device, and a speaker configured to audibly convey to the user, in real-time via sound, the orientation and the position of the medical device.

  • Publication number: 20050024053
    Abstract: A fluid monitoring arrangement 1 for an engine is operated in accordance with a method whereby nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) interrogation of the fluid flow 3 it is possible to determine whether appropriate fluids and additives are being utilised as well as whether potential detrimental actions occur such as engine wear and carbonisation through particulate components within the flow 3. Generally, an expected signal response from the fluid flow 3 is determined and the actual signal response compared in a comparator 8 with that expected signal response. Divergence in the actual signal response and in particular with regard to its profile is identified and an indication provided in a display 10 with regard to the potential coolant of such divergence. Normally, a reference library 11 is provided of expected signal responses for comparison in the comparator with the actual signal responses.
