Title: Amir A. Amini and His Medical Imaging Patents
Introduction
Amir A. Amini is an inventor based in Louisville, Kentucky. His work includes patented methods and systems for medical imaging, with a focus on analyzing heart motion and segmenting anatomical structures. He is associated with the University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc. His patent portfolio includes 5 patents.
Latest Patents
Two of Amini’s latest patents address ways to extract useful information from medical images.
“Method and System for Analysis of 3D Deformations and Regional Function of a Heart with 3D SinMod” describes a system that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to acquire three tagged volume data series of the heart, each with mutually perpendicular tag lines. An image-processing machine models the intensity distribution around each voxel as a moving sine wave front, then uses the resulting phase and frequency information to estimate displacement. This approach is designed to support analysis of three-dimensional heart deformation and regional function.
“System and Method of Automated Segmentation of Anatomical Objects Through Learned Examples” presents a method for identifying an anatomical object in an image. The system iteratively evolves a segmenting surface by combining level-set segmentation with a linear combination of training shapes. It then outputs the resulting sparse shape representation as the object’s segmentation.
Career Highlights
Amini’s listed inventions apply computational techniques to medical imaging. One focuses on measuring cardiac motion from MRI data, while the other uses learned examples to guide automated anatomical segmentation. Both illustrate how image-processing systems can help analyze complex structures in medical images.
Collaborations
Amini’s work is associated with the University of Louisville Research Foundation, Inc. His listed coworkers include Vahid Tavakoli and Shiao Woo.
Conclusion
Amir A. Amini’s patents reflect a focus on medical imaging methods for assessing heart function and automating anatomical segmentation.
