Provided is a diagnostic system including: a user terminal configured to take an image; and a server configured to obtain diagnosis assistance information on the basis of the image. The user terminal is configured to obtain a first photographing parameter, determine whether a pre-stored condition is satisfied, and transmit the first photographing parameter and a captured image to the server when it is determined that the pre-stored condition is satisfied. The server is configured to obtain a first verification parameter, determine whether to use the captured image as a diagnostic image which includes comparing the first verification parameter with the first photographing parameter, and obtain the diagnosis assistance information by using the diagnostic image when it is determined to use the captured image as the diagnostic image.
COMBINED FLUORESCENCE AND LASER SPECKLE CONTRAST IMAGING SYSTEM AND APPLICATIONS OF SAME
A combined auto-fluorescence imaging and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) system to enable intra-operative parathyroid identification and viability assessment with the same tool. The system includes a light source for emitting a beam of light to illuminate a target of interest, and an imaging head positioned over the target of interest for individually acquiring auto-fluorescence images and LSCI images of light from the illuminated target of interest responsive to the illumination. Auto-fluorescence imaging helps identify the parathyroid, while LSCI helps assess its viability.
