Title: Michael J. Janicki and His Nuclear Medicine Imaging Patents.
Introduction
Michael J. Janicki is an inventor based in San Jose, California. His work includes patent inventions for nuclear medicine imaging, with a focus on transmission scanning and the collection of emission data. The supplied information lists 3 patents and identifies Adac Laboratories, Inc. as his company.
Latest Patents
One of Janicki’s listed patents, “Scan Speed for Transmission Exposure Reduction in a Nuclear Medicine,” describes a procedure that determines the minimum transmission-scan duration for each object. It uses a rapid prescan to assess count density, identifies the portion with the lowest count density, and calculates the duration of a subsequent scan to obtain sufficient transmission data while limiting radiation exposure.
Another listed patent, “Large Field of View Transmission and Small Field of View Emission Scan,” describes using a detector’s large field of view to collect transmission information for the body while collecting emission data through a smaller, higher-resolution window. The method supports improved attenuation correction and allows the emission window to move during an emission computed tomography scan, with calculations accounting for its position and the different pixel sizes.
Career Highlights
Janicki’s listed patent work addresses practical challenges in nuclear medicine imaging, including reducing transmission exposure and combining broad transmission coverage with detailed emission imaging. The supplied information associates him with Adac Laboratories, Inc.
Collaborations
The supplied information names Steven M. Jones and John R. Liebig as Janicki’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the listed patents or describe particular joint projects.
Conclusion
Michael J. Janicki’s listed inventions focus on efficient transmission scanning and the integration of transmission and emission data, contributing methods for managing exposure and supporting detailed nuclear medicine imaging.
