Patents by Inventor Véronique Audet

Véronique Audet 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).

  • Methods and systems for segmentation and surface matching
    Patent number: 8929621
    Abstract: A contoured surface map of a lesion within a patient is obtained by shifting a reference surface to an estimated location in operational images. The process can be repeated to minimize errors, and the contoured surface map can then be segmented.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2005
    Date of Patent: January 6, 2015
    Assignee: Elekta, Ltd.
    Inventors: Fabienne Lathuilière, Véronique Audet, Tony Falco, Martin Lachaine
  • Calibrating imaging devices
    Patent number: 8000442
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for calibrating images and imaging devices to common coordinate systems utilize, in some embodiments, rods that detectably reflect an acoustic signal regardless of the incidence angle of the signal with respect to the rods. Typically, the rods are disposed within a “phantom” at known positions with respect to a room coordinate system. Images of the cylindrical rods may be obtained from different directions, allowing the imaging device to be calibrated to the room coordinate system.
