AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT BETWEEN DYNACS ENGINEERING CO., INC. AND UNIVERSAL
MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC., IS TO COVER THE GOODS AND SERVICES OUTLINED
IN THE FOLLOWING EIGHT TASK DESCRIPTIONS, WITH COMPENSATION BASED
ON THE SCHEDULE OF PAYMENTS AS DEFINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
1. TASK 1: DIGITAL CAMERA SELECTION - We will evaluate various options
for digital cameras that have response in the near infrared region.
Our preliminary analyses have shown that cameras range from about $800
upward. The resolutions we will examine are in the range 512x512 to
1024x1024. We believe that the 1K x 1K picture would be the maximum
we need to consider at this point, based on the knowledge we have of
the post-processing we intend to do.
2. TASK 2: IMAGE ACQUISITION SOFTWARE - The image from the digital
camera will be acquired and pre-processed for display by this
software. Controls will include the frame rate on the camera, image
size, bits/pixel etc. The acquired image will then be stored in a
standard format or be displayed on the screen. This task will result
in the minimal "prototype" digital unit.
3. TASK 3: GRAPHICAL OPERATOR INTERFACE SOFTWARE - This software will
allow the operator to perform the following functions:
a) Enter patient data into a database
b) Bring up patient data from the database
c) Initiate a "scan"
d) Set up various parameters related to the scan
e) Save the generated images
f) Produce reports
g) Browse a set of 10 sequential images backwards & forwards
h) Produce printed or film plotted copies of the image
i) Produce a video tape version of the scans
j) Perform the various post-processing steps identified in Task 5
4. TASK 4: IMAGE POST-PROCESSING SOFTWARE - This task will involve the
design and implementation of various post- processing techniques
including magnification (zoom), Image enhancement, Edge detection,
Segmentation and Volume measurements. Image enhancement will be
performed using state-of-the-art techniques such as wavelet
enhancement. During this work, we will interact with clinical groups
at USF if necessary to refine the process and get feedback from
radiologists. We also have radiology consultants on our staff that
will provide input for this task.
5. TASK 5: OUTPUT SOFTWARE - This task will involve building the
necessary interfaces for output of the image to both hardcopy and
video. In both cases the patient data will be preprinted on the
image, including name, patient ID, scan date, etc. This will help in
the archiving of the data.
6. TASK 6: HARDWARE/SOFTWARE INTEGRATION AND TEST - This will be the
final stage of the development including testing of the various
interfaces at the system level. All the sensors, cards and other
components will be integrated with the software and the system as a
whole will be tested. At the end of
1
2
this task, a completed system will be delivered that will include all
components except for the patient fixture.
7. TASK 7: PATIENT FIXTURE DESIGN AND FABRICATION - In consultation with
UMSI staff, an appropriate imaging fixture for breast imaging will be
designed. We plan to utilize an outside consultant for the mechanical
design of the fixture. Fabrication of the fixture will be done at an
outside facility. Costs for the consultant are included in this
proposal, but the fabrication costs are not. The goals of the design
will be the following:
a) Maximize patient comfort
b) Ensure that the camera and light source positions are fixed so as
to ensure reproducible results
c) Fix the field of view so that absolute size measurements are
possible from the resulting image
8. TASK 8: DOCUMENTATION - This task will cover the documentation for
all of the tasks above. Documents to be prepared include an
architectural design, software detailed design and a complete
operator's manual.
