The present disclosure relates to a method for configuring a medical device. The method comprises: providing a set of one or more parameters for configuring the medical device. Each parameter of the set has predefined values. A set of values of the set of parameters may be selected from the predefined values. Using the selected values the set of parameters may be set, which results in an operational configuration of the medical device. The medical device may be controlled to operate in accordance with the operational configuration, thereby an operating status of the medical device may be determined. Based on at least the operating status the operational configuration may be maintained or the selecting, setting and controlling may be repeatedly performed until a desired operating status of the medical device can be determined based on the operating statuses resulting from the controlling.

Systems and methods are provided for delivering images to a patient before and/or during a medical procedure in which a patient is translated on a table relative to a gantry. In various example embodiments, images are projected to the patient while preserving the projected field size during table motion, thereby potentially reducing patient anxiety by providing a more immersive patient viewing experience. In some example embodiments, the projected field size is maintained by a display system that is secured to the table such that both a projector and a projection screen are fixed relative to the table, and relative to the patient, during translation of the table. In some example embodiments, a reduction in patient anxiety may be achieved by projecting images as virtual images that are perceived by the patient as residing at a depth that lies beyond the confined spatial region in which the patient resides.

This disclosure concerns a medical visualization system to visualize medical information for the system user, configured to: receive data representing medical information, and receive data representing the user's position and/or the direction of the user's gaze, the system comprising: a visualization device which is configured to: display an image based on the data representing the information, and adjust the position and/or the orientation of the image displayed according to the user's position and/or the direction of the gaze.

A computer that determines at least an anatomic feature of a left atrial appendage (LAA) is described. During operation, the computer generates a 3D image associated with an individual's heart. This 3D image may present a view along a perpendicular direction to an opening of the LAA. Then, the computer may receive information specifying a set of reference locations. For example, the set of reference locations may include: a location on a circumflex artery, a location between a superior portion of the LAA and a left pulmonary vein, and/or a location on a superior wall of the LAA and distal to trabeculae carneae. Next, the computer automatically determines, based, at least in part, on the set of reference locations, at least the anatomical feature of the LAA, which is associated with the opening of the LAA and a size of a device used in an LAA closure (LAAC) procedure.

A mobile orthodontic treatment system includes comprising a mobile trailer and a panoramic machine provided within the trailer. The panoramic machine is configured to obtain a 2-D image of a patient's mouth and includes a base secured to the floor of the housing and a stanchion secured to the trailer by a bracket. The mobile orthodontic treatment system further includes a digital scanner and a monitor provided within the housing. The digital scanner is configured to obtain a 3-D image of the patient's mouth and display the image on the monitor. The digital scanner and the monitor are mounted on a wall of the housing by a wall mount articulating bracket. The mobile orthodontic treatment system further includes a lift assembly provided on one of a side and an end of the housing to enable disabled people to enter and exit the housing.

A radiation image imaging apparatus which generates an image from irradiated radiation, the radiation image imaging apparatus including: a communication unit which directly communicates by wireless communication with an information processing apparatus, which performs wireless communication, and receives installation setting information transmitted from the information processing apparatus to perform a predetermined setting at a time of an installation; and a hardware processor which performs the predetermined setting of the radiation image imaging apparatus in accordance with the installation setting information received by the communication unit.

The present disclosure provides methods and systems directed to management and visualization of radiological data. A method for processing at least one medical image of a location of a body of a subject may comprise (a) retrieving, from a remote server via a network connection, the medical image; (b) identifying one or more regions of interest (ROIs) in the medical image, wherein the ROIs correspond to an anatomical structure of the location of the body of the subject; (c) annotating the ROIs with label information corresponding to the anatomical structure, thereby producing an annotated medical image; (d) generating educational information based at least in part on the annotated medical image; and (e) generating a visualization of the anatomical structure, based at least in part on the educational information.

Embodiments are provided for improved analysis of surgically explanted pathology samples or other varieties of tissue sample by guiding the sectioning of those samples using high-resolution volumetric imaging data. Such imaging data can include micro-CT imaging data. Improved sample imaging and visualization methods facilitate pathological analysis of the sample, guiding the sectioning of the sample to planes most likely to provide highly valuable and accurate data about sample margins relative to tumors or other target structures, tissue type cell morphology or other properties of a tumor or other target structure, or other clinically relevant data that could be missed were the tissue sample not sectioned along such image-guided plane(s). A projector or augmented-reality device can be used to indicate, to a pathologist, the location of structures of interest within the sample and/or the location of a sectioning gig could be detected/controlled relative to a display of the imaging data.

An adjustment value holding unit holds an adjustment value selected for displaying medical image data on a medical image display device with a predetermined image quality. An image attribute detector detects an attribute of the medical image data. A determiner determines whether or not the adjustment value held in the adjustment value holding unit matches an adjustment value corresponding to the attribute detected by the image attribute detector. A notification unit visually or audibly notifies that the adjustment value held in the adjustment value holding unit does not match the adjustment value suitable for the medical image to be displayed on the medical image display device, when the determiner determines that the adjustment value held in the adjustment value holding unit does not match the adjustment value corresponding to the attribute detected by the image attribute detector.

An apparatus has an upright gantry. A tube arm assembly and a compression arm assembly are rotatably coupled to the gantry. The tube arm assembly independently rotates relative to the compression arm assembly. A controller disposed on the gantry is operably connected to at least one of the tube arm assembly and the compression arm assembly.
