Title: The Innovations of Peter Remeijer
Introduction
Peter Remeijer is a notable inventor based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. He has made significant contributions to the field of medical imaging and radiation treatment. With a total of 3 patents, Remeijer has focused on enhancing the accuracy and safety of medical procedures.
Latest Patents
One of Remeijer's latest patents is titled "Motion artefact reduction in CT scanning." This invention addresses the challenges posed by sporadic motion during CT scans, such as gas pockets moving around the rectum. The technology allows for the automatic detection of such movements by enhancing low-density features around the prostate in individual X-ray images. By projecting these features on the cranio-caudal axis, the invention forms a 1-dimensional image and combines successive projections to create a 2D image. This process helps identify and discard angular ranges affected by moving gas, improving the quality of CT images.
Another significant patent is "Methods and systems for protecting critical structures during radiation treatment." This invention provides methods for safeguarding critical structures during radiation therapy. A register receives proposed positions for radiation beams concerning a critical structure. A processor predicts the cumulative dose volume for the critical structure based on the dose distribution. If the cumulative dose volume exceeds a tolerance value, the dose distribution can be adjusted to ensure patient safety.
