IMAGING SYSTEM
20200345450 · 2020-11-05 ·

An imaging system includes an image generating device and two reflecting mirrors. The image generating device projects a light toward a gravity direction. The two reflecting mirrors are disposed with respect to each other and one of the two reflecting mirrors is disposed with respect to the image generating device. The light projected by the image generating device forms a virtual image through the two reflecting mirrors in sequence.

Augmented optical imaging system for use in medical procedures

An optical imaging system for imaging a target during a medical procedure is disclosed. The optical imaging system includes: a first camera for capturing a first image of the target; a second wide-field camera for capturing a second image of the target; at least one path folding mirror disposed in an optical path between the target and a lens of the second camera; and a processing unit for receiving the first image and the second image, the processor being configured to: apply an image transform to one of the first image and the second wide-field image; and combine the transformed image with the other one of the images to produce a stereoscopic image of the target.

Remote Healthcare-Monitoring System With User Enabled Diagnostic Capabilities

A healthcare-monitoring system collects health data through sensors then analyzes the data. The system may then instruct the user to retrieve one or more medical devices or tests stored within the system and perform an additional diagnostic measurement or test. Medication may also be stored within the system. The location of a medical device, test, or medication may be tracked in relation to the position of the user and the user's body parts. Correct use of the medical device or test and consumption of the medication may be assessed. A user interface may provide instruction for proper use of a medical device or test as well as its location within the system. Sensors may indicate whether a medical device has been returned to its proper place or if a consumable medical product has been removed from storage. The system may automatically reorder consumable medical supplies and track drug compliance.

20200288967 · 2020-09-17 ·

An eye chart presentation device includes a display to display an eye chart image on a screen, a reflection mirror to reflect light flux emitted from the display, and a convex lens system to form a virtual image of the eye chart image from the light flux reflected by the reflection mirror, the focal length of the convex lens system being greater than 800 mm. The screen is positioned within the focal length of the convex lens system, and the display emits the light flux from a lateral direction with respect to sightline of the eye. The reflection mirror includes a first mirror to directly reflect the light flux from the display and a second mirror to reflect the light flux reflected by the first mirror to the convex lens system.

Biological tissue inspection device and method therefor

A biological tissue inspection apparatus is disclosed. The biological tissue inspection apparatus comprises a stage and a probe. The probe comprises an optical imaging device, an optical interference detector, and a light guide. The probe acquires data regarding optical images and optical interference, through the optical imaging device and the optical interference detector. The stage or the probe moves such that a selected area of the inspection object is positioned in the FOV of the optical imaging device and of the optical interference detector. The light guide is configured such that illumination light from the optical imaging device and measurement light from the optical interference detector are coaxially emitted to the inspection object.
