Patent ID: 11883214
Assignee: ZITEO, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A

Claim 20:
21. An imaging system comprising:
a moveable arm;
at least one gamma camera panel coupled to the movable arm, wherein the gamma camera panel comprises gamma camera sensors with position and energy sensing resolution, wherein the gamma camera panel provides an imaging field of view that is larger than 15 degrees;
a camera configured to observe at least a portion of a patient;
at least one processor and a memory operatively coupled with the at least one processor, the camera, and the gamma camera sensors, the memory having instructions for execution by the at least one processor that cause the imaging system to:
read a plurality of gamma-ray photon sensing events received from the gamma camera sensors;
provide a position and orientation of the gamma camera panel with respect to a body of the patient;
co-register the gamma-ray photon sensing events to the body of the patient using the position and orientation; and
reconstruct a 3D distribution of gamma-ray emitting radioisotopes inside the patient by using the co-registered sensing events.
