Latest Patents
Miller's latest patents include a "System for assessing radiation treatment plan segmentations." This invention evaluates segmentations used to describe structures for radiotherapy by converting them into volume models. It examines volume elements that are either extra or missing in the second segmentation compared to the first. This characterization can be displayed graphically to illustrate differences for training or evaluation purposes and quantified using a metric method that tallies volume elements, optionally weighted by distance from shared volume elements.
Another notable patent is the "Treatment planning tool for heavy-ion therapy." This invention features a dose calculator for heavy-ion therapy systems that utilizes a limited number of spread-out Bragg peak models. These models can be adjusted in energy and dose contribution to create a unique composite dose with a complex profile while minimizing treatment time.
