Title: Innovations of Hugh T Morgan
Introduction
Hugh T Morgan is a notable inventor based in Highland Heights, OH (US), recognized for his contributions to the field of medical imaging technology. With a total of 12 patents to his name, Morgan has made significant advancements that enhance diagnostic capabilities in healthcare.
Latest Patents
Morgan's latest patents include a Multiple Fan Beam Computed Tomography System. This innovative CT scanner features a stationary gantry that defines an examination region and a rotating gantry that rotates around this region. The system incorporates multiple fan beam generators, each capable of producing a beam of radiation directed through the examination region. These radiation beams are collimated into a plurality of parallel thin fan-shaped beams that are projected through the examination region. X-rays are detected by an arc of x-ray detectors or a series of parallel rings of detectors. The signals generated by these detectors are processed into a volumetric image representation for display on a monitor. In one embodiment, the signals are reconstructed into a series of spaced parallel slices, allowing for additional slices to be collected and reconstructed between previously reconstructed slices. In another embodiment, the region of interest moves, enabling each beam to traverse a spiral path spanning contiguous slabs. The multiple fan beam generators may be contained within a single elongated x-ray tube or generated by a plurality of angularly displaced x-ray tubes.
Another significant patent is the Separate and Combined Multi-Modality Diagnostic Imaging System. This system includes a first imaging subsystem, such as a computed tomographic (CT) system, for performing a first imaging procedure on a subject. A second imaging subsystem, such as a nuclear medicine system, performs a second imaging procedure on a subject. The second imaging subsystem is remote from the first imaging system. A patient couch supports the subject, and a patient transfer subsystem transfers the patient couch between the two imaging subsystems. The first and second imaging subsystems can operate concurrently to perform different imaging procedures on different subjects supported by separate patient couches. Data generated by the first imaging subsystem can be used to correct emission data generated by the second imaging subsystem.
