Bioinformatic Methods for Determining Resistance to Cancer Treatments
Invention Summary:
Determining resistance to chemotherapy treatments for specific types of cancer (e.g., prostate, lung, breast, etc.,) as early as possible can prolong patients' lives by enabling them to be treated with other, and hopefully, more effective treatments as soon as possible.
Researchers at Rutgers University have...

Correcting Flawed Photograph Effects in Captured Medical Images
Background:
Ultrasound and other medical imaging devices scan biological structures or tissues of a patient to aid in the diagnosis of serious illnesses such as cancer. Clarity and poor quality of scanned images due to conditions associated with the patient at time of image capture, or the skill of the technician capturing the scanned image can lead...

Correcting Image Distortion in Captured Medical Images
Background:
There are many instances where quick and easy interpretation of a medical images, such as an x-ray, CT scan, MRI or ultrasound is useful. In these instances, the digital transfer of medical images between systems, providers, or users is difficult and time consuming due to the lack of interoperability of software protocols between imaging...

Heat Map Medical Image Diagnostic
Background:
Ultrasound and other medical imaging devices scan biological structures or tissues of a patient to aid in the diagnosis of serious illnesses such as cancer. Often, clarity and quality of scanned images are suspect due to conditions associated with the patient or the skill of the technician capturing the scanned image and can lead to incorrect...

Correcting Image Artifacts in Medical Images
Background:
Ultrasound and other medical imaging technologies remove noise from scanned images by combining the scanned images in an averaging process that reduces and/or eliminates noise inherent in an imaging session. An artifact of the averaging process is blurring effects introduced to the resulting image which diminish the chances of a correct...

An Algorithm for Identification of Treatment-response Biomarkers to Chemotherapies
Invention Summary:
In the last decade, several computational methods have been successfully applied to understand cancer initiation and progression through integration of genomic and epigenomic data. However, despite recent advances in discovering a wide array of novel chemotherapy agents, identification of patients with poor and favorable response...

Predicting Therapeutic Resistance to Tamoxifen in Cancer Treatment
Invention Summary:
Currently, patients with ER+ breast cancer are administered tamoxifen without considering their potential response to this therapy. Thousands of women take the tamoxifen only to discover that their tumors do not respond or that they develop resistance over time. The ability to screen patients ahead of the therapy administration...

Panel & Software to Predict Therapeutic Resistance in Cancer Treatment
Invention Summary:
According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second most common malignancy in men and the second-highest cancer-related cause of death in American men. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which reduces or prevents male hormones (androgens) from interacting with cancer cells, has been shown to be beneficial in...
