Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of a cell (1) includes adjusting a current set of projection images (8, 9) according to a priori knowledge (24) to produce adjusted projection images (9) for example, based on probability , masks and/or Bayesian analysis (16) of multiple similar objects in the same sample (30). A reconstruction algorithm processes the adjusted projection images to generate a 3D image (10). The 3D image is further adjusted according to the a priori knowledge (24) to generate an adjusted 3D image (11). Criteria for process completion are applied to determine whether the adjusted 3D image is adequate (12). Otherwise, a set of pseudo projections are computationally …

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 2, 2003 and granted December 4, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 2, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 2, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
