Title: Method for viewing tumor tissue located within a body cavity
Inventor: LUIKEN GEORGE A
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 2002-04-04
Granted: 2005-01-25
Abstract: Methods are provided for in vivo detection of diseased tissue in a subject, such as tumor tissue located in a body opening, by administering to the subject a biologically compatible fluorescing targeting construct that binds to or is specifically taken up by the diseased tissue. The observer directly views fluorescence emanating from the fluorescing targeting construct bound to or taken up by the diseased tissue upon irradiation of the targeting constru ct with excitation light having at least one wavelength in the range from 401 n m to about 495 nm, but preferably lacking light having a wavelength above abou t 500 nm, so as to determine the location and/or surface area of the diseased tissue in the subject. Since excitation wavelength does not penetrate throug h tissue, as is the practice in near IR diagnostics, the diseased or abnormal tissue is exposed to the excitation light either surgically or by means of a n endoscopic device. Preferably a filter is used to filter out any wavelengths in the excitation light greater than about 500 nm.

Filed: 2002-08-07
Granted: 2012-11-27
Abstract: Noise is reduced in a video system by applying motion compensated temporal filtering using previously generated motion vectors and adaptive spatial filtering at scene change frames. In addition to improvements made to FIR  spatial filtering, the present invention improves on previous filtering techniques by using Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) temporal filtering to reduce noise while maintaining edge definition. It also uses motion vectors previously calculated as part of the first-pass image encoding or alternatively by trans coding to reduce computational complexity for P-frame and B-frame image preprocessing. Single stage P-frame temporal noise filtering and double stage B-frame temporal noise filtering are presented.
