Novel Method for Head & Neck and Respiratory Motion Correction in Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
The Problem: As the use of PET imaging continues to increase, it is imperative to address the current, inadequate means for motion correction. During PET imaging, a summation image is generated while the patient is instructed to lie still on his/her back for the duration of the scan. A typical PET scan lasts 15 to 30 minutes on average Patient motion... (read more) -
Mobile tracking device for medical applications (MTD)
The Technology: Prior to the use of fluoroscopy, kinematics of human joints were assessed using cadavers or motion analyses systems. Unfortunately, cadaver testing does not allow for in vivo soft-tissue conditions to be present, and motion analyses systems induce significant out-of-plane error due to skin motion. Fluoroscopy does have advantages for... (read more)
