1. This is an appeal directed against an order dated 1st April, 2024 rejecting
an application for patent titled “Blood Flow Control System and Method for
In-vivo Imaging and Other Application” being application no.
201637000002 filed under section 15 of the Patents Act, 1970.
2. Briefly, an application for patent was filed on 1st January, 2016 carrying
an international filing date 14 October, 2014 from application no.
PCT/CH2014/000151 claiming priority from Switzerland. Thereafter, the
present application being application no. 1787/2013 was filed on 18
October, 2013.
3. The present invention relates to blood flow control systems, devices and
methods, in particular to an imaging system for the human body, such as
x-ray and related tomographic imaging systems. Images of the interior of
the human body have been a long-established tool for providing graphic
information in the form of pictures, prints and screen displays for a
subsequent interpretation by skilled practitioners. Significantly, the
detection of blood flow related conditions is an important part of such
images. In order to improve the detection of blood flow conditions it is
known that injection of a contrast medium into the blood stream can add
information. Moreover, to increase the image quality of the images
generated by the CT scanner, it is known that administration of a contrast
agent during the scanning process enhances the vascular compartment
and other fluids in the body, usually via venous access over the upper
extremity such as via the back of the hand or via an elbow vein.
