Intraoperative Systems and Methods for Determining and Providing for Display a Virtual Image Overlaid onto a Visual Image of a Bone
Example methods and systems may be used intraoperatively to help surgeons perform accurate and replicable surgeries, such as knee arthroplasty surgeries. An example system combines real time measurement and tracking components with functionality to compile data collected by the hardware to register a bone of a patient, calculate an axis (e.g., mechanical axis) of the leg of the patient, assist a surgeon in placing cut guides, and verify a placement of an inserted prosthesis.
Wearable respiration measurements system
A wearable system configured to collect thermal measurements related to respiration. The system includes a frame configured to be worn on a user's head, and at least one non-contact thermal camera (e.g., thermopile or microbolometer based sensor). The thermal camera is small and lightweight, physically coupled to the frame, located close to the user's face, does not occlude any of the user's mouth and nostrils, and is configured to take thermal measurements of: a portion of the right side of the user's upper lip, a portion of the left side of the user's upper lip, and a portion of the user's mouth. The thermal measurements are forwarded to a computer that calculates breathing related parameters, such as breathing rate, an extent to which the breathing was done through the mouth, an extent to which the breathing was done through the nostrils, and ratio between exhaling and inhaling durations.
NON-INVASIVE CARDIAC HEALTH ASSESSMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRAINING A MODEL TO ESTIMATE INTRACARDIAC PRESSURE DATA
The present disclosure relates to cardiac health assessment system for use with a handheld electronic device for assessing cardiac health of a user and a method for assessing cardiac health of a user. The disclosure further relates to systems and methods for training a machine learning model to estimate intracardiac pressure data.
Devices, systems, and methods for virtual staining
The disclosure herein provides methods, systems, and devices for virtually staining biological tissue for enhanced visualization without use of an actual dye or tag by detecting how each pixel of an unstained tissue image changes in waveform after staining with a certain dye(s) and/or tag(s) or other transformation under a certain electromagnetic radiation source, developing a virtual staining transform based on such detection, and applying such virtual staining transform to an unstained biological tissue to virtually stain the tissue.
System and methods for video-based monitoring of vital signs
The present invention relates to the field of medical monitoring, and in particular non-contact, video-based monitoring of pulse rate, respiration rate, motion, and oxygen saturation. Systems and methods are described for capturing images of a patient, producing intensity signals from the images, filtering those signals to focus on a physiologic component, and measuring a vital sign from the filtered signals.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE PROJECTION IMAGING
Apparatus and techniques are described herein for nuclear magnetic resonance (MR) projection imaging. Such projection imaging may be used to control radiation therapy delivery to a subject, such as including receiving reference imaging information, generating a two-dimensional (2D) projection image using imaging information obtained via nuclear magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, the 2D projection image corresponding to a specified projection direction, the specified projection direction including a path traversing at least a portion of an imaging subject, determining a change between the generated 2D projection image and the reference imaging information, and controlling delivery of the radiation therapy at least in part using the determined change between the obtained 2D projection image and the reference imaging information.
SYSTEM AND METHOD TO SELECT A PROSTHESIS BASED ON PROXIMAL FEMUR MORPHOLOGY
Methods and systems for selecting an appropriate prosthesis for a prospective implant recipient are discussed. For example, a method for selecting an appropriate prosthesis can include, accessing anatomical image data, receiving an indication of a plurality of landmark locations within the image data, constructing a femoral canal axial indication within the image data, producing a plurality of lateral anatomic structural measurements, and selecting the appropriate prosthesis to fit the prospective implant recipient. The anatomical image data can include sufficient detail to allow measurement of internal and external geometry of a proximal femur. The plurality of lateral anatomic structural measurements can include measurements along, and perpendicular to, the femoral canal axial indication that run along a femoral canal within the anatomical image data. The prosthesis can be selected based, at least in part, on the plurality of lateral anatomic structural measurements.
Medical image analyzing system and method thereof
Provided is a medical image analyzing system and a method thereof, which includes: acquiring a processed image having a segmentation label corresponding to a cancerous part of an organ (if present), generating a plurality of image patches therefrom, performing feature analysis on the image patches and model training to obtain prediction values, drawing a receiver operating characteristic curve using the prediction values, and determining a threshold with which determines whether the image patches are cancerous, so as to effectively improve the detection rate of, for example, pancreatic cancer.
ENDOSCOPIC DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS, LESION PORTION SIZE MEASUREMENT METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
There are provided an endoscopic diagnosis apparatus, lesion portion size detection method, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that enable easy detection of the size of a lesion portion using an endoscope. This object is achieved by capturing an endoscopic image by emitting light having a regular repetitive pattern onto a subject, detecting, from the endoscopic image, a region in which a repetitive pattern is different from the repetitive pattern of the emitted light, and detecting at least one of a length and area of a lesion portion by using a number of repetitive patterns in the region in which the repetitive pattern is different and a size of a unit of repetition in the repetitive pattern.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMAGE LOCALIZATION OF EFFECTERS DURING A MEDICAL PROCEDURE
A computer-assisted imaging and localization system assists the physician in positioning surgical effecters, such as implants, tools and instruments, within a surgical site in a patient’s body. The system displays overlapping images - one image of the surgical site with the patient’s anatomy and another image showing the surgical effecter(s). The overlapping image of the surgical effecter(s) is moved over the static image of the anatomy as the implant/instrument is moved. The movement of the surgical effecter(s) is determined in a three-dimensional coordinate system at a home base location in the patient’s anatomy, which home base can be moved during the procedure without interrupting the displays of the overlapping images.
