RIVANNA’s Accuro Product-Line Expansion Fortified With European Notice of Allowance

Jun 02, 2021 Mark

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Jun 02, 2021 - RIVANNA®, developers of world-first, imaging-based medical solutions, announced the European Patent Office has issued RIVANNA a notice of allowance for European patent application No. 13803513.4, entitled “Ultrasound Imaging of Specular Reflecting Target”. Once granted, the patent will be validated in the UK, France, Germany, and Italy, with patents already issued from the same parent application in the United States and China.

The allowed patent application covers an image reconstruction technology—Multi-Probe Multi-Angle BoneVision™, an automated image-acquisition technique based on a series of novel three-dimensional, ultrasound-based, bone-imaging technologies that increases angular image sensitivity to bone surfaces. BoneVision provides precisely captured bony anatomical structures within a large field of view and demonstrated performance detecting small fractures with high sensitivity and specificity.

This allowance will help accelerate product-line expansion, building on patented technologies introduced with RIVANNA’s flagship device, Accuro®, which automates ultrasound image detection of spinal landmarks during spinal needle guidance procedures. BoneEnhance® Multi-Frequency Image Reconstruction improves visualization of bony anatomy and compensates for ultrasound’s inherent distortion with a five- to 10-fold increase in bone-to-tissue contrast, and SpineNav3D™ AI-Enabled Spine Recognition technology automates ultrasound image interpretation.

Will Mauldin, Ph.D., co-founder, and CEO of RIVANNA, commented, “This new allowance demonstrates the breadth of RIVANNA’s intellectual property and solidifies ownership of our groundbreaking ultrasound-based imaging technologies. This patent is an integral part of our expanding suite of AI-enabled bone-imaging technologies and fuels our response to the clinical need for easy-to-use bedside guidance with three-dimensional bone-imaging performance comparable to X-ray and CT. When paired with RIVANNA’s automated image interpretation algorithms, these products offer a complete solution that will promote adoption by clinical practitioners in additional markets, including pain management, neurology, and emergency medicine.
