Multi-Modality Phantoms And Methods For Co-Registration Of Dual Pet-Transrectal Ultrasound Prostate Imaging
US Patent:

International Classification:
A61B 8/00, G09B 23/30, G01T 1/164
US Classification:
600437, 434267, 25036303
Abstract:
Herein are described methods and tools for acquiring accurately co-registered PET and TRUS images, as well as the construction and use of PET-TRUS prostate phantoms. Ultrasound imaging with a transrectal probe provides anatomical detail in the prostate region that can be accurately co-registered with the sensitive functional information from the PET imaging. Imaging the prostate with both PET and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) will help determine the location of any cancer within the prostate region. This dual-modality imaging should help provide better detection and treatment of prostate cancer. Multi-modality phantoms are also described.

International Classification:
A61B 505
US Classification:
424 93, 424 937, 436173, 600410, 600420
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques for both spectroscopy and imaging. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods in which hyperpolarized noble gases (e. g. , Xe and He) are used to enhance and improve NMR and MRI. Additionally, the hyperpolarized gas solutions of the invention are useful both in vitro and in vivo to study the dynamics or structure of a system. When used with biological systems, either in vivo or in vitro, it is within the scope of the invention to target the hyperpolarized gas and deliver it to specific regions within the system.

Arterial Endothelial Function Measurement Method And Apparatus
US Patent:
2006026, Nov 23, 2006
Filed:
Feb 23, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/362326
Inventors:
Jonathan Maltz - Oakland CA, US
Thomas Budinger - Berkeley CA, US
Thomas Budinger - Berkeley CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 8/00
US Classification:
600455000, 600437000
Abstract:
A “relaxoscope” () detects the degree of arterial endothelial function. Impairment of arterial endothelial function is an early event in atherosclerosis and correlates with the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. An artery (), such as the brachial artery (BA) is measured for diameter before and after several minutes of either vasoconstriction or vasorelaxafion. The change in arterial diameter is a measure of flow-mediated vasomodification (FMVM). The relaxoscope induces an artificial pulse () at a superficial radial artery () via a linear actuator (). An ultrasonic Doppler stethoscope () detects this pulse 10-20 cm proximal to the point of pulse induction (). The delay between pulse application and detection provides the pulse transit time (PTT). By measuring PTT before () and after arterial diameter change (), FMVM may be measured based on the changes in PTT caused by changes in vessel caliber, smooth muscle tone and wall thickness.
Nmr System And Method Having A Permanent Magnet Providing A Rotating Magnetic Field
US Patent:

International Classification:
G01V 3/00
US Classification:
324318, 324307, 324309, 324310, 324319, 324321
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for generating a rotating magnetic field. The rotating magnetic field can be used to obtain rotating-field NMR spectra, such as magic angle spinning spectra, without having to physically rotate the sample. This result allows magic angle spinning NMR to be conducted on biological samples such as live animals, including humans.
