Cubresa receives US patent for flexible imaging sensors -
Cubresa granted US patent for flexible imaging sensors.
Instead of an invisibility cloak to hide a person on television and movies, a new method that describes the installation of many imaging sensors in a flexible substrate could reveal tumors humans or animals.
Cubresa Inc., a medical imaging company that develops and markets nuclear imaging systems, announced today that the Patent Office and the United States marks issued US patent 9322 .930 covering a new arrangement of sensors and imaging methods for determining the sensor locations for 3D imaging.
"puts the best imaging cameras as close to the skin surface of the subject," said James Schellenberg, inventor and co-founder and CTO of Cubresa. "This has been a problem with humans and other living animals. For example, the curvature of the female breast and armpit area, where imaging of participation cancer and lymph nodes is required, is topographically complex and varies from woman to woman. "
instead of mechanically rotate a camera or cameras camera around the area or having a person move a camera in hand, the technique of site Cubresa a large number of small imaging sensors in a flexible substrate that can be easily adjusted depending on the subject. The exact positioning of each sensor is determined and sophisticated software algorithms to create 3D images on the many 2D images of each sensor.
"flexible imaging sensors could be used in preclinical and clinical applications," said George Abe, CEO of Cubresa. "The disease mechanisms are extraordinarily complex," said Abe, "and we develop products with greater accuracy and resolution that can allow scientists and clinicians to achieve their goal of a better understanding of disease and development of more personalized therapies.
"You could say that we could customize the patient to camera for more accurate processing that enables more personalized medicine. "
