231 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING BONE DENSITY EP96911499 1996-03-29 EP0817591A4 1999-11-17 DIMAROGONAS ANDREW D
The density of a discrete piece of hard tissue such as a bone in a patient may be determined by either of two methods. In a first method, an impulse of energy is introduced into the tissue, and the resulting vibration in the hard tissue is sensed and analyzed to compute the modal damping factor of the tissue, the modal damping factor being directly related to the density of the tissue. In a second method, a continuous energy input is introduced into the hard tissue. The resulting vibration in the tissue is measured with a mechano-electrical vibration transducer (26) and a modal damping factor is calculated. The electro-mechanical vibration transducer (26) of the preferred embodiment measures the pressure with which the transducer (26) is pressed against the patient's flesh and only produces the continuous energy input when a predetermined pressure is achieved which is sufficient to prevent any significant vibration of the flesh surrounding the bone.
232 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING BONE DENSITY EP94909836.0 1994-03-01 EP0687163A1 1995-12-20 DIMAROGONAS, Andrew, D.
The integrity (density) of discrete pieces of hard tissue (bones) in a patient may be determined by either one of two methods. In a first method, an impulse of energy is introduced into the bone, such as by striking the patient's bone, and the induced vibration is sensed and analyzed in order to compute the damping factor thereof, the damping factor being directly related to the density thereof. With this method, a transducer (26) is coupled to the bone (24) and its output is amplified by an amplifier (28) before input to a computer (30) which determines the damping factor. In a second method, a continuous energy input is provided to the bone, such as by utilizing a frequency generator (36) coupled to a power amplifier (38) whose output drives a transducer (40) such as a speaker for inducing a continuous vibration in the bone. This continuous vibration is measured with a transducer (26), an amplifier (28), and a damping factor calculated with a computer (30) as in the first method.

240 RADIOACTIVE PROBE FOR DETECTING HYDROGEN SULFIDE PCT/KR2016003559 2016-04-06 WO2016163727A9 2017-05-11 YOO JEONG SOO; SWARBHANU SARKAR; NIKUNJ BHATTT; NISARG SONI; HA YEONG SU; LEE WOONG HEE
The present invention relates to a radioactive probe for detecting in vivo hydrogen sulfide and, more specifically, to a probe for detecting hydrogen sulfide comprising a complex compound into which a radioactive isotope Cu is introduced. According to the embodiments of the present invention, as a result of observing, in real-time, animal models in which a large amount of hydrogen sulfide involved in various diseases is generated, through optical and nuclear medicine imaging, the probe for detecting hydrogen sulfide according to the present invention can selectively provide images of a site in which hydrogen sulfide has abnormally increased in a cell or a tissue, by selectively combining to hydrogen sulfide, whereby the probe can detect a disease in an unexpected site without affecting the anatomical properties of body parts. In addition, the probe for detecting hydrogen sulfide quickly reacts with hydrogen sulfide, whereby the probe can resolve the existing problem of required wait time for testing after an imaging agent is injected. As such, the probe can be effectively used as a disease detection means such as an imaging composition, an imaging method, etc.
