A handheld, conforming capacitive sensing apparatus configured to measure Sub-Epidermal Moisture (SEM) as a mean to detect and monitor the formation of pressure ulcers. The device incorporates an array of electrodes which are excited to measure and scan SEM in a programmable and multiplexed manner by a battery-less RF-powered chip. The scanning operation is initiated by an interrogator which excites a coil embedded in the apparatus and provides the needed energy burst to support the scanning/reading operation. Each electrode measures the equivalent sub-epidermal capacitance corresponding and representing the moisture content.

The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for presenting glucose level data. Glucose data for a patient may be received. A current glucose level and a rate of change of the current glucose level may be determined based on the received glucose data. A first interface may be displayed on a screen of a device. The first interface may include a unitary icon. The unitary icon may display the current glucose level and a visualization of the rate of change. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

A computer-based method and system assists users performing medical imaging studies, such as echocardiograms. While the user manipulates the imaging device on an individual, the system automates image processing, relieving the user from the need to simultaneously operate an application and an imaging device. The system assesses an organ system, then through comparison with other imaging data sets, generates an evaluative assessment of the organ system. The system becomes increasingly image-aware and content-aware during an evaluation, and by sequential comparisons against progressive data sets, refines an evaluative assessment.

Provided herein are methods for classifying or characterizing a biological sample in vivo or ex vivo in real-time using time-resolved spectroscopy and/or electrical stimulation. A biological sample may produce a responsive fluorescence signal when irradiated by a light excitation signal or pulse at a predetermined wavelength. The responsive fluorescence signal may be recorded. The intensity of the excitation wavelength may be recorded and used to normalize the recorded responsive fluorescence signal. The biological sample may produce a responsive electrical signal in response to electrical stimulation. Raw fluorescence decay data may be generated from the responsive fluorescence signal and pre-processed. The pre-processed raw fluorescence decay data may be de-convolved to remove an instrument response function therefrom and generate true fluorescence decay data. The biological sample may be characterized in response to the responsive fluorescence signal, the responsive electrical signal, the normalized responsive fluorescence signal, and/or the true fluorescence decay data.

According to the embodiments, a medical image diagnosis apparatus includes a memory and processing circuitry. The memory stores volume data on a target portion including a vessel network and a plurality of blood vessels connected to the vessel network. The processing circuitry extracts the vessel network and the blood vessels from the volume data. The processing circuitry analyzes how hemodynamics in the vessel network are after treatment of the vessels.

A two-channel magnetic resonance tomography system is provided with a regulation circuit for an amplification system in order to be able to take into account different load situations of the MRI system in a flexible and efficient manner. It is thus possible to improve the MRI measurements greatly if the MRI system is set to the respective load situation beforehand by an idle state measurement. The adaptation may optionally also be carried out during the MRI measurement. Therefore, a multiplicity of completely different load situations may be taken into account in an optimized manner by the regulation circuit.

A system and method is provided for measuring a mechanical property of a biological tube. The system and method operate to arrange a plurality of piezoelectric elements about the biological tube and apply a predetermined force or transduce an endogeneous or exogeneous force to the biological tube. The system and method also operate to receive a respective signal from each piezoelectric element in the plurality of piezoelectric elements responsive to the application of the predetermined force or a transduced endogenous or exogeneous force and calculate the mechanical property of the biological tube based on the signals received from the plurality of piezoelectric elements.
