A Lower X-Ray Dose, Higher Resolution, Photon-Counting System for Computed Tomography
This technology is an X-ray or Gamma ray imaging system that uses photon-counting to achieve high resolution images with lower radiation doses than traditional machines. The system combines upfront optical gain with high-speed CCD or CMOS detectors to capture images. Then, using Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) techniques to parse the image data,...

Coded-Aperture System for Planar Imaging of Volumetric Sources
This invention is a method for obtaining parallel projections (i.e. 2D planar images) of a 3D object without the use of a parallel bore collimator while offering improved resolution and decreased resolution degradation with increasing object depth. The method involves measuring the photon flux of a gamma photon emitting source from within the subject’s...

Apparatus and Methods for a Software-Controlled Synthetic Phase Mask via Radiance Function Measurement
This technology measures and uses a radiance function to optimize an optical system to its phase mask. This function does not limit end users to a specific type of phase mask, thus providing the user with more flexibility. In addition, the radiance function data can be processed to emulate any phase mask and therefore works with a mask in an existing...
