View page
US Patent:
20090005678, Jan 1, 2009
Filed:
Jun 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/213745
Inventors:
Kristin Schmiedehausen - Palo Alto CA, US
Gunther Platsch - Rothenbach, DE
Thorsten Feiweier - Poxdorf, DE
Diana Martin - Herzogenaurach, DE
Sebastian Schmidt - Weisendorf, DE
Michael Szimtenings - Bonn, DE
International Classification:
A61B 6/03
US Classification:
600427
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method is disclosed for determining and displaying an access corridor to a target area in the brain of a patient, as well as an imaging arrangement suited to this. In at least one embodiment, the method includes a) generating a first image of the brain via positron emission tomography, b) discriminating the target area relative to its surroundings via electronic image processing, c) generating a second image of the brain via magnetic resonance imaging while acquiring at least one anatomical structure, d) generating a third image of the brain via an imaging method displaying physiological processes for identifying at least one functional area of the brain that must not be injured in any circumstances, e) determining an access corridor to the target area while omitting the at least one functional area of the brain, and f) generating and displaying a fourth image of the brain in which the target area, the at least one functional area of the brain, the at least one anatomical structure and the access corridor are displayed, wherein steps a) to d) are carried out, one after another in quick succession, in a single frame of reference without repositioning the patient, or are even carried out simultaneously.

Method And Apparatus For Imaging Functional Processes In The Brain

View page
US Patent:
20090018431, Jan 15, 2009
Filed:
Jul 2, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/216293
Inventors:
Thorsten Feiweier - Poxdorf, DE
Diana Martin - Herzogenaurach, DE
Gunther Platsch - Rothenbach, DE
Sebastian Schmidt - Weisendorf, DE
Kristin Schmiedehausen - Palo Alto CA, US
Michael Szimtenings - Bonn, DE
International Classification:
A61B 5/05
US Classification:
600407
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are disclosed for imaging functional processes in the brain. In order to be able to correlate the results of MEG examinations with anatomical information and metabolic data, a positron emission tomography measurement is recorded in at least one embodiment by at least one radiation detector, a magnetic resonance imaging measurement is recorded by a coil and a radio-frequency antenna device and a magnetoencephalography measurement is recorded by a plurality of magnetic field sensors, the positron emission tomography measurement and the magnetic resonance imaging measurement being substantially undertaken at the same time, so that the records of the positron emission tomography measurement and the magnetic resonance tomography measurement are isocentric. In at least one embodiment, an evaluation apparatus is provided for carrying out a spatial correlation between the magnetoencephalography measurement and the magnetic resonance imaging measurement, so that registration between the magnetoencephalography measurement and the positron emission tomography measurement results.

Method For Detecting A Brain Region With Neurodegenerative Change

US Patent:
20090030304, Jan 29, 2009
Filed:
Jul 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/219609
Inventors:
Thorsten Feiweier - Poxdorf, DE
Diana Martin - Herzogenaurach, DE
Gunther Platsch - Rothenbach, DE
Sebastian Schmidt - Weisendorf, DE
Kristin Schmiedehausen - Palo Alto CA, US
Michael Szimtenings - Bonn, DE
International Classification:
A61B 5/055
US Classification:
600411
Abstract:
A computerized method is disclosed for detecting a brain region with neurodegenerative change and also a brain region with vascular change in the brain of a patient and also an imaging arrangement suitable for this. In at least one embodiment, the method includes recording a first data record of the brain via positron emission tomography and a second data record of the brain via magnetic resonance imaging; reconstructing a PET image from the first data record and an MRI image from the second data record; identifying evidence for a brain region with vascular change in the MRI image; segmenting the MRI image into gray matter and white matter; identifying a brain region with neurodegenerative change in the PET image; and superposing the PET image and the segmented MRI image to determine whether the brain region with neurodegenerative change is present in gray matter or in white matter, the recording of the first data record and the second data record being carried out in quick succession without repositioning the patient or is even carried out simultaneously.

Michael Szimtenings - Bonn, DE
International Classification:
A61B 5/055
A61B 5/0476
G01V 3/00
A61B 6/00
US Classification:
600411, 600544, 324316, 324307, 378 4
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for imaging functional and electrical activities of the brain are disclosed. In order to allow improved relative positional determination of the epileptogenic focus with reference to the EEG electrodes, a positron emission tomography measurement using at least one radiation detector, and a magnetic resonance imaging measurement using at least one coil for generating a basic magnetic field, at least one gradient coil and a radio-frequency antenna device are undertaken in at least one embodiment. In addition, in at least one embodiment an electroencephalography measurement using a plurality of electrodes for acquiring spatial and temporal changes of the electrical activities of the brain and a computed tomography measurement using at least one x-ray source and at least one x-ray detector are carried out. By way of an evaluation apparatus in at least one embodiment, a spatial correlation between the computed tomography measurement and the magnetic resonance imaging measurement is undertaken, so as to result in registration between the electroencephalography measurement and the positron emission tomography measurement.

Medical Imaging System Having An Array Of Distributed X-Ray Generators

View page
US Patent:
20190029611, Jan 31, 2019
Filed:
Jan 25, 2016
Appl. No.:
16/072021
Inventors:
- Oxfordshire, GB
Paul Betteridge - Oxfordshire, GB
Mark Evans - Oxon, GB
Martin Holden - Wantage, GB
Abdul Sami Mughal - Oxford, GB
Kristin Schmiedehausen - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Adaptix Ltd - Oxfordshire
International Classification:
A61B 6/02
A61B 6/00
A61B 6/10
Abstract:
The disclosed system includes an emitter array for generating x-rays, a detector array for sensing a flux of x-rays transmitted through a region of interest; apparatus for holding, moving and aligning the emitter array relative to the region of interest and the detector array; electronic means for controlling the emitters and for reading and analyzing the output from the detectors and converting it to image data, and a display for displaying and manipulating the image data. The individual emitters are operated in multiple groups each illuminating a region of interest between the emitter array and the detector array such that the cone of radiation rays projected on the detector array from any single emitter in any one such group is substantially spatially separated from the corresponding projected cones from all other emitters in that same group.
