Title: Innovations by Inventor Xiao-Bo Pan
Introduction
Xiao-Bo Pan is a notable inventor based in Oxford, GB. He has made significant contributions to the field of medical imaging, particularly in the development of methods for enhancing cardiac image analysis. With a total of 3 patents to his name, his work has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy in cardiology.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Reorientation of Cardiac Images." This method involves estimating the orientation of a cardiac long axis from corresponding early frame and late frame images using a computerized processor. In this process, a bounding box of the myocardium is defined in the late frame image, which is then applied to the early frame image. The main axis of the early frame image within the bounding box is estimated, and the image is oriented accordingly. Similarly, the main axis of the late frame image is estimated and reoriented. The estimated main axes of both frames are compared, and the results are made available as output from the processor.
Another significant patent is "Residual Activity Correction at Reconstruction." This method addresses the issue of residual activity due to an earlier tracer in a later PET or SPECT scan image. It generates a residual-corrected later image by estimating the residual activity through the detection of the tracer's introduction time. The method separates the residual activity from true counts during the iterative reconstruction of the PET or SPECT scan image.
