Patent EP-1517138-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOMMA CHRISTIAN
IPC: G01N29/24
Filed: 2004-05-21
Abstract: A method and apparatus for calibrating an acoustic thermography system 10 and/or
enhancing the flaw detection abilities of such a system is provided. The method allows
applying a material (e.g., 103) to a specimen 12 undergoing acoustic thermography
inspection. The material is thermally responsive to acoustic energy transmitted to the
specimen by the acoustic thermography system. In one aspect thereof, a thermal response
of the material applied to the specimen when subjected to acoustic energy is processed to
determine whether the level of acoustic energy applied by the acoustic thermographic
system appropriately meets a desired amount of acoustic energy for inspecting the
specimen. In another aspect thereof, the thermal response of the specimen in combination
with the applied material may be processed to determine whether certain types of flaws
(e.g., relatively wide flaws) are actually present in the specimen or to enhance the
detectability of other flaws that would only faintly show up on the infrared images.

Abstract: An apparatus having an image pick-up function includes
color balance adjustment means and control means. The color
balance adjustment means adjusts the color balance of image
signals obtained by picking up an image of an object through
image pickup means. The control means controls the color
balance adjustment means based on feature data that

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating ischemic diseases, which comprise
the step of administering angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) or an Ang1-encoding vector. The present
invention also provides ischemic disease treatment kits which comprise Ang1.
Ang1-expressing vectors were prepared, and each was administered alone intramyocardially to
rats in the acute phase of myocardial infarction to express Ang1 in the local cardiac muscle.
The results indicate that marked effects have been obtained, such as decrease in post-infarction
mortality rate, increase in blood vessel number in myocardium, reduction of myocardial infarct
size, and improvement of cardiac function. Administration of the required VEGF was not
necessary for the angiogenic activity of Ang1. Furthermore, when an Anglviral expression
vector was administered alone to an animal model of severe limb ischemia, in which ischemia
had been induced by arterial ligation, a remarkable limb salvage effect was obtained. The Ang1
gene therapy is excellent as a safe and effective therapeutic method for ischemic diseases such as
ischemic heart diseases and limb ischemia.

Title: Method and device for volumetric image reconstruction
Inventor: GRASS MICHAEL
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2004-02-10
Abstract: The reconstruction of computer tomography data is very often based on a parallel rebinning step of the projection data prior to the filtered back projection. In case of cardiac reconstruction, a gating technique is applied to select appropriate projections for a time-dependent image reconstruction. Usually, the gating window is a function of the fan-beam/cone-beam projection only. According to the present invention, a function corresponding to the location on the detector surface, where the respective projection was detected is used to further verify whether the respective projection is truly within the selected gating window or not.
