Medical Ultrasound Device With Temperature Detection At Distal End

View page
US Patent:
20120165666, Jun 28, 2012
Filed:
Sep 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/393857
Inventors:
Mischa Megens - Millbrae CA, US
Jan Suijver - Eindhoven, NL
Assignee:
KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V. - EINDHOVEN
International Classification:
A61B 8/00
A61B 5/01
A61B 18/14
US Classification:
600438, 606 41
Abstract:
A medical ultrasound device is disclosed. The device comprises an elongated body having a proximal end, a distal end () and a distal end region (). One or more ultrasound transducers () for generating acoustic radiation are positioned in the distal end region, inside the elongated body. A transmission element () which is substantially transparent to acoustic radiation is positioned in the radiation path of the acoustic radiation, and a controller unit is operatively connected to the ultrasound transducer. The controller unit detects the acoustic path length through the transmission element and determines the temperature at the distal end from the detected acoustic path length. In an embodiment, the medical device is an ultrasound RF ablation catheter.

US Patent:
20130004982, Jan 3, 2013
Filed:
Jun 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/172070
Inventors:
Ludwig Bär - Erlangen, DE
Oliver Hayden - Herzogenaurach, DE
Michael Johannes Helou - Regensburg, DE
Mischa Megens - Millbrae CA, US
Mathias Reisbeck - Obertraubling, DE
Manfred Rührig - Lauf a.d. Pegnitz, DE
Sandro Francesco Tedde - Erlangen, DE
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Berkeley CA
Siemens Aktiengesellschaft - Munich
International Classification:
C12Q 1/02
C12M 1/42
B82Y 15/00
US Classification:
435 29, 4352871, 977838, 977902
Abstract:
A magnetic flow cytometry apparatus for detection of cells labeled with magnetic nanoparticles has at least one pair of oppositely oriented magnets to provide between the magnets a first magnetic field region with a low magnetic field strength and to provide at poles of the magnets second magnetic field regions with a high magnetic field strength. The magnetic labeled cells provided within a flow input into the magnetic flow cytometry apparatus are enriched in at least one of the second magnetic field regions and supplied to the first magnetic field region, where a magnetic field is applied to the enriched magnetic labeled cells to measure the magnetic relaxation of the magnetic labeled cells in response to the applied magnetic field.

US Patent:
20120105480, May 3, 2012
Filed:
May 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/321580
Inventors:
Maya Barley - Eindhoven, NL
Szabolcs Deladi - Eindhoven, NL
Godefridus Antonius Harks - Eindhoven, NL
Jan Frederik Suijver - Eindhoven, NL
Mischa Megens - Millbrae CA, US
Assignee:
KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V. - EINDHOVEN
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345641, 345634
Abstract:
The invention relates to a visualization apparatus for visualizing quality of applying energy to an object. The quality of applying energy at a location on the object () is visualized based on a) a provided image of the object and b) a provided quality value representing the quality of applying energy to the object at the location on the object (), wherein a visual property assigning unit () assigns a visual property to the location depending on the quality value and a display() displays the provided image and the assigned visual property at the location on the object shown in the image. In general a person who applies energy to the object is focused on the location at which energy is applied. Since quality information is shown at the location on which the person is already focused, the quality dependent information can easily be absorbed by the person.

US Patent:
20180064504, Mar 8, 2018
Filed:
Oct 10, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/728572
Inventors:
- EINDHOVEN, NL
Szabolcs Deladi - Veldhoven, NL
Erik Godefridus Antonius Harks - Rijen, NL
Jan Frederik Suijver - Dommelen, NL
Mischa Megens - Millbrae CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
A61B 17/00
A61B 18/14
Abstract:
The invention relates to a visualization apparatus for visualizing a quality of applying energy to an object. The quality of applying energy at a location on the object () is visualized based on a) a provided image of the object and b) a provided quality value which is a depth value indicative of the depth to which the applied energy has altered the object, representing the quality of applying energy to the object at the location on the object (), wherein a visual property assigning unit () assigns a visual property to the location depending on the quality value and a display () displays the provided image and the assigned visual property at the location on the object shown in the image as a transmural region calculated using depth value(s) with respect to a wall of the object. In general a person who applies energy to the object is focused on the location at which energy is applied. Since quality information is shown at the location on which the person is already focused, the quality dependent information can easily be absorbed by the person.
