Title: Mri guided hyperthermia surgery
Inventor: MCTAGGART KEN J
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 2001-06-15
Granted: 2010-08-03
Abstract: An MRI guided surgical apparatus includes a heat source formed by a laser (21) and an optical (20) fiber carrying the heat energy into a part to be coagulated by hyperthermia with an end reflector to direct the energy in a beam to one side of the fiber end. A reinforcing sleeve (38) for the fiber is mounted in a shielded, Piezo-electric motor (22) which causes movement of the fiber longitudinally and angularly within a rigid elongate cannula. A magnetic resonance imaging system is arranged to generate a series of output signals over a period of time representative of temperature in the part as the temperature of the part changes during that time. The heat source is controlled in heat energy applied and location and orientation of the beam to stop heating when the temperature at the boundary of a tumor reaches the required hyperthermic temperature. Cooling of the tip portion of the probe can be effected by encasing the fiber in a tubing material defining a duct for the fiber and supply and return parallel ducts for cooling fluid, the tubing being encased in a titanium stiffening sleeve which is driven in the longitudinal and rotational directions to move the fiber tip.

IPC: H04K1/00
Filed: 2002-12-10
Granted: 2012-04-24
Abstract: A selective encryption encoder consistent with certain embodiments of the invention has vertical and/or horizontal stripes encrypted. In one embodiment, packets are examined in the digital video signal to identify a specified packet type, the specified packet type being both packets carrying intra-coded data representing a pattern of horizontal stripes across an image and packets carrying intra- coded data representing a pattern of vertical stripes across an image. The packets identified as being of the specified packet type are encrypted using a first encryption method to produce first encrypted packets. These first encrypted packets are then used to replace the unencrypted packets in the digital video signal to produce a partially encrypted video signal. The packets of the specified type can also be multiple encrypted and replaced in the data stream to produce a multiple encrypted video data stream.
