Abstract
A method of imaging motion of an organ that changes volume in a patient including the steps of monitoring change in volume of the organ, and recording multiple in vivo images of the organ, wherein the change of organ volume between the images is constant or of some other predetermined value.
Claims20
A method of measuring an organ motion of an organ, the method comprising:
- monitoring a change of a parameter value corresponding to motion of the organ during at least one respiration cycle;
- upon each of a plurality of occurrences of a same change in the parameter value during the at least one respiration cycle, triggering an acquisition of in vivo images of the organ;
- and
- measuring the organ motion between two or more of the in vivo images.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- one or more energy sources;
- one or more detectors configured to acquire in vivo images of an organ created by energy from the one or more energy sources passing through a subject intermediate the energy source and detector;
- and
- a signal processing system coupled to the one or more energy source and the one or more detectors and configured to:
- monitor a change of a parameter value corresponding to an organ motion of the organ during at least one respiration cycle;
- upon each of a plurality of occurrences of a same change in the parameter value during the at least one respiration cycle, trigger an acquisition of in vivo images of the organ;
- and
- measure the organ motion between two or more of the in vivo images.
5 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable code, comprising instruction for causing an apparatus to:
- monitor a change of a parameter value corresponding to an organ motion of an organ during at least one respiration cycle;
- upon each of a plurality of occurrences of a same change in the parameter value during the at least one respiration cycle, trigger an acquisition of in vivo images of the organ;
- and
- measure the organ motion between two or more of the in vivo images.
