A plurality of stimulations is transmitted to tissue or other material using one or more transmitters. The plurality of signals associated with the excited tissue and the transmitted stimulations are measured. The measured signals are processed to generate field-related quantities, such as B1+ and/or MR signal maps. Field-related quantities are generated also from simulation, by calculating the one or more incident fields from a simulator model of the one or more transmitters and assuming a given distribution of electrical properties in the tissue or other material. Field-related quantities generated from simulation and experimental procedures are compared to each other. The assumed electrical properties distribution is updated and the procedure is repeated iteratively until the difference between simulated and experimental field-related quantities is smaller than a threshold.

Improved systems and devices for pre-caching of related medical imaging are provided. A medical imaging order may be received from a medical facility that includes medical imaging of a site generated by a medical imaging device. The medical imaging order may include metadata, such as user data, site data, and modality data. A search may be executed for supplemental medical imaging of the user using the user data. The supplemental medical imaging may be filtered using the site data to return only that medical imaging related to the site. The filtered supplemental medical imaging may be prioritized using the modality data. The prioritized supplemental medical imaging may be appended to the request, and the request may be transmitted to a radiologist for generation of a medical imaging report.

Medical software tools platform utilizes a surgical display to provide access to specific medical software tools, such as medically-oriented applications or widgets, that can assist those in the operating room, such as a surgeon or surgical team, with a surgery. For various embodiments, the medical software tools platform and its associated medical software tools are presented on a surgical display (e.g., being utilized in an operating room) over an image stream provided by a surgical camera (e.g., in use in the operating room or with other endoscopic procedures). Various medical software tools can provide features and functions that can facilitate integration of equipment in an operating room or add medical context awareness to anatomic structures presented in the image stream from the surgical camera and provide archived information pertaining to the same.

In an imaging system according to an embodiment of the present invention, a camera unit is configured to transmit imaging data to an information-processing unit as a downlink packet. The camera unit is configured to hold predetermined data in the imaging data as a transmission key. The information-processing unit is configured to receive the downlink packet, recognize the predetermined data in the imaging data as the transmission key, and generate a reception key on the basis of the transmission key. The information-processing unit is configured to transmit an uplink packet including the reception key and a register-setting signal indicating an imaging condition to the camera unit. The camera unit is configured to write the register-setting signal received with the reception key in a register when the transmission key and the reception key meet a predetermined condition.
