The method may also include determining an action to alter the medical treatment based on the condition of the wound. Then, the method may include initiating a remedial measure associated with the determined action to increase effectiveness of the medical treatment.
Personalized Monitoring of Injury Rehabilitation Through Mobile Device Imaging
A method and system of diagnosing a medical condition of a target area of a patient using a mobile device are provided. One or more magnetic field images of a target area of a patient are received. One or more hyperspectral images of the target area of the patient are received.

Method and system for optimized reconstruction of treatment dose based on integrated exit-transit images of radiation fields taken during treatment
An optimized method and system to compute the dose to a patient (2) given a captured integrated exit-transit image (5) of the radiation rays (4) traveling from the source of x-rays (1) through the patient (2) to the imaging device (3) to product the exit-transit image (5). Each radiation field image (5) is transformed (6,8,10,12) to multiple images (7,9,11,13) for each phantom thickness (26) that was measured with the imaging device (3) for a range of field sizes (21). Given the water equivalent path (22) through the patient for a ray (4) reaching a pixel (15, 16), the final pixel value (19) is interpolated from the images (9, 11) that bracket the water equivalent path through the patient (22). Adaptive feedback calibration measures are carried out effectively ameliorate the detrimental effects of off axis attenuation of pixel values.
