Radiographic Marker for Portable Chest and Abdominal X-Rays
Abstract: The NIH Clinical Center seeks parties interested to license a method and apparatus that can significantly improve the diagnostic performance of portable chest (CXR) and abdominal x-rays. This device (see image below) quantifies angulation of a patient to provide for a better comparison of day-to-day improvement. Potential applications include...

Quantitative Measurement of Syndesmophytes in Ankylosing Spondylitis Using Computed Tomography (CT)
Syndesmophyte (abnormal bone) growth in the spine is a hallmark of Ankylosing Spondylitis, a type of inflammatory arthritis. Syndesmophyte growth is currently monitored using semi-quantitative scoring of radiographs, but radiographs consider only a small part of the vertebra, and the method is subject to reader error. Because syndesmophytes grow slowly,...

A non-electronic reference implant for detection of implant loosening after joint replacement surgery
Joint replacement is an effective surgical intervention for some joint diseases. Implant loosening is a disabling condition that can affect patients after joint replacement surgery. Unfortunately, subtle progression of tissue deterioration around the implant remains a major challenge, because signs and symptoms may not be clinically apparent until...

Improved Radiography System that Generates 3D Images from 2D Access
Provides Images with Clearer Contrast with Single Bursts of RadiationThis backscatter radiography technique uses a shadowing tool in order to generate a 3D image from an object that has only one-sided, or two-dimensional, access. University of Florida researchers create vivid 3D images by applying radiation, illuminating the distinct objects where the...
