US Patent:

20030163405, Aug 28, 2003

Filed:

Apr 19, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/127226

Inventors:

Jason Wiener - Brooklyn NY, US
Joseph Sacerdote - Freehold NJ, US
Arlene Sacerdote - Freehold NJ, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/036000

Abstract:

Electronic asset assignment and tracking systems and methods are provided. When assets and attributes are not specified at the time of a trade, a user may assign assets, corresponding quantities, and other attributes post trade. A limit may be set on the time allotted for assigning the assets. When the limit is reached, a default asset (or assets) may be automatically assigned. These default assets (in their entirety or as a supplement to assets previously assigned) may be assigned to allow the trade to be processed. If not enough assets were assigned, the trade may default. Selecting a trade (e.g., from a tab of trades that have not been fully assigned assets) may take the user to a dialog box to view and input asset information. Before or after trades are assigned assets, they may be assigned confirmation numbers. Previously made trades may be viewed in a trade history tab.

International Classification:

A61B 6/04
G01T 1/29

US Classification:

250395, 378209, 2503361

Abstract:

A pallet () for use with a gamma camera includes a rigid sheet () having a thickness (d) of less than six millimeters and a strength-enhancing curvature transverse to an axial direction (DA). At least a portion of an edge () of the rigid sheet has a bevel (B) with a length (x) along the sheet of at least about ten millimeters and a height (y) of at least about four-fifths of the sheet thickness. A protective covering () is disposed over the beveled edge. In a nuclear imaging method, a subject is disposed on the rigid sheet and a radiological image is acquired of at least a portion of the subject disposed on the sheet with at least one radiation detector head () positioned underneath or at an oblique angle below the subject. The bevel is effective to reduce or blur an edge artifact in the acquired image.

International Classification:

G06T 11/00

US Classification:

2502521, 2503361, 378 4

Abstract:

A method comprises: acquiring imaging data using a tomographic radiological imaging apparatus (); updating a calibration () based on current information about the imaging apparatus; calibrating the imaging data using the up-to-date calibration; and reconstructing the calibrated imaging data to generate an image. The updating may be based on a current state of an idle or parked imaging modality that is not used in acquiring the imaging data, or on a measurement acquired together with the imaging data, or on the imaging data itself. For cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging data, the updating may comprise determining an intensity scale based upon intensity of at least one air pixel measured during the acquiring of the CBCT imaging data and updating an air scan template () by the intensity scale.

A61K 51/00

US Classification:

600431

Abstract:

In Positron Emission Tomography, a time window () and an energy window () are dynamically adjusted, based on an attenuation map, count rate, clinical application, discrimination tailoring, and/or offline discrimination tailoring. Detected radiation events are filtered using the dynamically adjusted energy and time windows into scattered events, random events, and true events. The true events are input to image reconstruction, correction, and error analysis.
