ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This is notice, in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. 209(c)(1) and 37 CFR
404.7(a)(1)(i), that the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), Department
of Health and Human Services, is
contemplating the grant of an exclusive
license to practice the inventions
embodied in U.S. Patents: 6,246,784
filed August 18, 1998 and issued June
12, 2001; 6,345,112 filed January 19,

and detecting surface anomalies in
anatomical structures,’’ by Ronald M.
Summers et al., to iCAD, Inc. having a
place of business in 98 Spit Brook Road,
Suite 100, Nashua, NH 03062 USA. The
patent rights in this invention have been
assigned to the United States of
America.
DATES: Only written comments and/or
application for a license that are
received by the NIH Office of
Technology Transfer on or before May
10, 2012 will be considered.
ADDRESSES: Requests for a copy of the
patent application, inquiries, comments
and other materials relating to the
contemplated license should be directed
to: Tedd Fenn, Office of Technology
Transfer, National Institutes of Health,
6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325,
Rockville, MD 20852–3804; Email:
Tedd.Fenn@mail.nih.gov; Telephone:
301–435–5031; Facsimile: 301–402–
0220.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
invention relates to methods of
processing medical image data to extract
information about organ structure and
reconstruct the anatomical image in a
virtual 3D model to detect anomalies.
The methods help solve imaging
problems such as image ‘‘leakage,’’
which causes distortion, overloads
datasets and slows the 3D modeling
display. Once the image is assembled,
additional processing methods can
detect surface anomalies by comparing
the curvature characteristics of anatomy
to curvature characteristics anomalies.
The anomalies in the image can be
colorized or otherwise identified in the
image to enhance detection. This is
helpful to identify harmful features such
as precancerous polyps or other
anomalies.
The field of use may be limited to
‘‘computer aided detection in
colonography.’’
The prospective worldwide exclusive
license will be royalty bearing and will
comply with the terms and conditions
of 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR 404.7. The
prospective exclusive license may be
granted unless, within thirty (30) days
from the date of this published Notice,
NIH receives written evidence and
argument that establishes that the grant
of the license would not be consistent
with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. 209
and 37 CFR 404.7.
Properly filed competing applications
for a license filed in response to this
notice will be treated as objections to
the contemplated license. Comments
and objections submitted in response to
this notice will not be made available
for public inspection, and, to the extent
permitted by law, will not be released
