A dermatoscopy device and a method for checking skin lesions are disclosed. The device comprises an enclosed chamber (10); a displacement element (12) to be moved inside the chamber (10); an image acquisition system (20) attached to the displacement element (12); lighting elements (13, 14) and a computing unit (30). The image acquisition system (20) has a stereoscopic camera (21, 22) and a dermatoscopic camera (23). The computing unit (30) analyzes, for each body region, an image acquired by the stereoscopic camera (21, 22); executes a scanning algorithm that detects skin structures in said image and that checks whether said structures fulfill a criteria; upon a given skin structure is determined as fulfilling the criteria, executes a motion algorithm that moves the displacement element (12) to said given body region; and triggers an order, in order the dermatoscopic camera (23) acquiring, at a determined distance, an image of said skin structure.

Apparatus for imaging during surgical procedures includes an operating room for the surgical procedure and an MRI for obtaining images periodically through the surgical procedure by moving the magnet up to the table. The magnet wire is formed of a superconducting material such as magnesium di-boride or Niobium-Titanium which is cooled by a vacuum cryocooling system to superconductivity without use of liquid helium. The magnet weighs less than 1 to 2 tonne and has a floor area in the range 15 to 35 sq feet so that it can be carried on the floor by a support system having an air cushion covering the base area of the magnet having side skirts so as to spread the weight over the entire base area. The magnet remains in the room during surgery and is powered off to turn off the magnetic field when in the second position remote from the table.

A device that adapts/upgrades an existing, or new medical facility to provide a method of examining and treating occupants in a safe, efficient manner which is one quarter the size of conventional examination and treatment spaces through the use of a system that utilizes a modular frame and compartments to organize medical utilities, services and equipment to be more space efficient than conventional examination and treatment spaces. The frame and compartments have a shaped surface that focuses acoustic energy to increase intelligibility between a caregiver and the occupant and at the same time reduce ambient acoustic energy propagation. Additionally, the device can be disassembled, moved and reassembled easily. Further, the surface over the compartments creates a safety barrier between expensive and delicate utilities that mitigates tampering, accidental damage and reduces the possibility of infectious disease transmission.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for location tracking. In some implementations, a corresponding method includes obtaining images of one or more persons within a property; identifying a heartbeat for each person of the one or more persons within the images; identifying a location for each person within the images; receiving a request that indicates a heartbeat signature generated from heartbeats sensed by a device worn by a user; determining that an identified heartbeat of a person of the one or more persons matches the heartbeat signature; in response to determining that the identified heartbeat of the person of the one or more persons matches the heartbeat signature, selecting the person as the user; and in response to selecting the person as the user, providing a response to the request based on a location of the person.

A trolley system configured to transport a patient within an MRI environment includes a patient support portion, a base portion configured for movement relative to a floor, a lift coupled to the patient support portion and the base portion, an electric motor coupled to the lift, and an electric blower coupled to the patient transfer device. The lift is configured to change the elevation of the patient support portion relative to the base portion. The motor is mounted such that the elevation of the motor is fixed relative to base portion. The trolley system is positionable adjacent an MRI apparatus within the MRI environment and the magnetic field of the MRI does not interfere with the operation of the motor or blower. The trolley system may further include a patient transfer device having an air bearing. The blower is configured to deliver air to the air bearing.

A system for patient body imaging with live feed medical video consultation. The system includes an imaging booth with a plurality of cameras for capturing body images of a patient, a server for storing and transmitting patient images and patient information, a computer and/or mobile computing device in communication with the server, and a computer processing unit in communication with a program application that includes the ability to conduct or schedule a live feed video consultation between the patient and a medical provider where the live feed video consultation enables both the patient and the medical provider to view the patient's body images. The imaging booth may be a foldable total body imaging apparatus that includes a foldable floor to produce a compact folded apparatus having a small footprint when not in use.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for positioning a subject. The method may include generating a first image of the subject disposed on a scanning board of an imaging device. The first image may include position information of the subject. The method may further include generating a second image of the subject which includes information associated with one or more organs of the subjects. Additionally, the method may include determining the position of a ROI based on the first image and the second image. The method may further include operating the imaging device to scan a target portion of the subject.

A computer-implemented method for reducing or eliminating artifacts in MRI, includes steps of: S1: acquiring a plurality of MR signals mixed with EMI with different weightings from a plurality of receiver elements of at least one array coil; S2: obtaining EMI eliminated MR signals for each receiver element based on the MR signals mixed with EMI obtained in step S1; and S3: obtaining MR image based on the EMI eliminated MR signals obtained in step S2.
