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.

A system includes a processor configured to wirelessly receive crash indicia from a vehicle. The processor is also configured to access an occupant profile including medical data relating to an occupant of the vehicle, identify a public safety access point (PSAP), and send the medical data to the identified PSAP, in response to the crash indicia.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for modifying images of skin so as to reduce or enhance the appearance of component pigments, such as melanin and hemoglobin. A diffuse reflectance image of skin, such as a cross-polarized contact dermoscopy image, which conveys information regarding subsurface features of the skin, is processed so as to extract pigment distribution information, which is then used to correct the diffuse reflectance image, such as by reducing the appearance of melanin to allow better visualization of hemoglobin-related structures, such as vasculature. Alternatively, the diffuse reflectance image can be corrected so as to reduce the appearance of hemoglobin to allow better visualization of melanin-related structures.

In one embodiment, an apparatus for providing unmanned medical care in remote areas to a patient is provided. A container is adapted for transport using a standardized shipping mechanism. The container is adapted to provide remote delivery of health care. In an additional embodiment, a portable apparatus for dermatological monitoring is provided. An imaging device is integrated into a housing. The imaging device is adapted to obtain a digital, high-resolution image of a patient. In still another embodiment, a portable apparatus for orthopedic monitoring of a patient is provided. A housing is adapted for one of positioning adjacent to and positioning within an orthopedic cast. A diagnostic biomedical device integrated into the housing. The diagnostic biomedical device is adapted for obtaining an orthopedic image of a portion of the patient treated with the orthopedic cast.

Provided is a contactless internal measurement device including an electromagnetic wave irradiation unit that irradiates an electromagnetic wave to a measurement subject, and an electromagnetic wave receiver that detects the electromagnetic wave reflected by the measurement subject. The electromagnetic wave irradiation unit is disposed to reduce a polarization component of the electromagnetic wave detected by the electromagnetic wave receiver, the polarization component being the same as a polarization component of the electromagnetic wave irradiated by the electromagnetic wave irradiation unit.

Provided is an application program (app) for functioning a dermoscope, a dermoscope adapter, and a smartphone as a dermoscope. A dermoscope 100 for observing skin tissue according to the present invention includes a smartphone 110 including a camera 111 and a photoflash 107 and being communicable, and being capable of instructing from a graphical user interface displayed on a liquid crystal display; a case 101 containing the smartphone 110 and including a base member 103 fixed on a side opposite to a liquid crystal display to operate the smartphone 110; and an observation adaptor 102 detachably retained on the base member 103; wherein the camera 111 performs photographing through a first circular polarization filter 106; wherein the base member 103 movably retains a second circular polarization filter 108 for leading a polarization state of LED light emitted by the photoflash 107 to form circularly polarized light.

An end stage renal disease (ESRD) monitoring system may include an implantable sensor and a reader device with an optical sensor. The implantable sensor may be configured to detect a group of analytes relevant to ESRD, such as glucose, creatinine, urea, and potassium. The implantable sensor may be implanted into the dermis of an animal, and may exhibit color changes in response to the presence of the target analytes or reaction product(s) thereof. The reader device may be configured to capture an image of the implanted sensor and to determine the concentration of the target analytes based at least in part on the image. The reader device may be a personal electronic device such as a cell phone, PDA, or personal computer.

A garment comprising a central portion including a plurality of electrocardiogram leads, a plurality of auscultation acoustic sensor devices, a flexible respiratory sensor located so that it substantially circumscribes the garment, one or more blood pressure cuff portions located on an at least one arm portion of the garment, wherein the cuff portions are adapted to be loosened and/or tightened and a hardware device for sending and receiving signals via wired or wireless communication.

Provided is a system for supporting the treatment of vascular diseases by performing a blood flow simulation based on a medical image, the system comprising: an input unit that reads the medical image, fluid properties and boundary conditions from a data storage unit; a blood flow analysis execution unit that obtains a pressure field and a flow velocity field based on the medical image read by the input unit; a blood flow information calculation unit that calculates, based on the pressure field and the flow velocity field, blood flow information about a specific blood vessel being treated; a vascular treatment risk assessment unit that calculates, based on the calculated blood flow information, the proportion of a blood flow volume flowing into an aneurysm as a risk factor associated with the vascular treatment of the blood vessel being treated; and display units that display the calculation results to a user.

A device includes an angiography module, a phototherapy module, a carrier including an optical filter and accommodating the angiography module and the phototherapy module, and a control unit controlling operation of the angiography module and the phototherapy module. The angiography module includes infrared LEDs emitting infrared light through the optical filter to irradiate a limb of a subject, and an infrared sensor sensing a part of the infrared light reflected off the limb to generate a result, based on which the control unit generates an angiogram. The phototherapy module emits infrared light through the optical filter to irradiate the limb for phototherapy.
