MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511126265 A) filed by Swami Rama Himalayan University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Dec. 13, 2025, for 'a diagnostic system for differential diagnosis of pulmonary hydatid cysts via ct-guided fine needle aspiration.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Smita Chandra; Akanksha Aggarwal; and Varuna Jethani.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention relates to diagnostic techniques in pulmonary medicine and comprises a radiological imaging module incorporating a computed tomography (CT) system for generating high-resolution cross-sectional lung images and lesion localization, a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) assembly featuring a precision-engineered fine needle and aspiration syringe for targeted lesion sampling, and a cytological preparation unit with a slide preparation module and staining reagents including May-Grunwald Giemsa and Ziehl-Neelsen stains. A microscopic examination unit equipped with a light microscope is used for detecting key cytomorphological markers, while a clinical decision and management interface integrates data from these modules to differentiate pulmonary hydatid cysts from tuberculosis, thereby offering an accurate, algorithm-driven diagnostic solution."
