US Patent Issued to Dalhousie University on May 12 for "Adaptive dual-energy x-ray imaging using pre-calibrated weighting factors" (Canadian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,622,665, issued on May 12, was assigned to Dalhousie University (Halifax, Canada).

"Adaptive dual-energy x-ray imaging using pre-calibrated weighting factors" was invented by Mike Sattarivand (Halifax, Canada) and Ivan Romadanov (Halifax, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods for adaptive dual-energy imaging comprise calibrating a fitting model and implementing the calibrated model. Calibrating the model comprises: acquiring high and low energy images of a step phantom, generating regions of interest with overlapping materials, and determining an average intensity for each region of interest in each of the images; and determining ...
