A cell evaluation method includes acquiring a first evaluation index and a first index calculated using the first evaluation index with respect to comparative target cells in a culture process including a cell differentiation-inducing process in which cell differentiation is induced, calculating a second index on the basis of the first evaluation index with respect to evaluation target cells different from the comparative target cells, and evaluating differentiation of the evaluation target cells by comparing the first index with the second index.

Implementations relate to detecting/replacing transient obstructions from high-elevation digital images, and/or to fusing data from high-elevation digital images having different spatial, temporal, and/or spectral resolutions. In various implementations, first and second temporal sequences of high-elevation digital images capturing a geographic area may be obtained. These temporal sequences may have different spatial, temporal, and/or spectral resolutions (or frequencies). A mapping may be generated of the pixels of the high-elevation digital images of the second temporal sequence to respective sub-pixels of the first temporal sequence. A point in time at which a synthetic high-elevation digital image of the geographic area may be selected. The synthetic high-elevation digital image may be generated for the point in time based on the mapping and other data described herein.

According some aspects, a secondary device may display secondary audiovisual content along with playback of audiovisual content on a primary device. For example, the secondary device may display an augmented reality application synchronized with the video. Aspects may predetermine a set of frame transition ranges for the video, where each respective frame transition is determined based on frames of the video that are determined to be substantially identical by a frame reference function and frames that are determined to be different. Two frames may be substantially identical even if they are different in the source video. This may be due to shortcomings in the frame reference function, or encoding/compression losses in transmission and playback of the video. Playback may be synchronized based on a first detected frame, but synchronization may be refined upon detecting a frame transition to a second frame that is no longer substantially identical to prior frames.

A stenosis assessment method and device based on the intracranial digital subtraction angiographic (DSA) imaging, including acquiring the intracranial DSA imaging and extracting two planar images containing the target blood vessel from the DSA imaging, wherein the two planar images have different shooting angles. According to the two planar images, a 3D model of the target vessel is established. Based on the established 3D model of the target vessel and the DSA imaging, the hemodynamic simulation of the target vessel is performed. The disclosure realizes the functional assessment of intracranial vascular stenosis, improves the diagnostic accuracy, and provides certain assistance for neurologists to determine intervention means. The disclosure of noninvasive FFR technology in the assessment of intracranial vascular stenosis can only rely on angiography for functional assessment, saving the medical examination cost of patients. It has more convenient operation and higher repeatability.

A C-Arm X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray sources in motion to perform efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography is presented. X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array. X-ray sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a pre-defined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Each individual source can also move rapidly around its static position in a small distance. When a source has a speed that is equal to group speed but with opposite moving direction, the source at one C-arm end and X-ray flat panel detector at other C-arm end are activated through an external exposure control unit so that source stay momentarily standstill. The C-arm provides 3D X-ray scan imaging over a wide sweep angle and in different position by rotation. The X-ray image can be analyzed by an artificial intelligence module for real-time diagnosis.

An X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray sources to perform highly efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography is presented. There are multiple pulsed X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array of sources. The multiple X-ray sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a pre-defined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Electron beam inside each individual X-ray tube is deflected by magnetic or electrical field to move focal spot a small distance. When focal spot of an X-ray tube beam has a speed that is equal to group speed but with opposite moving direction, the X-ray source and X-ray flat panel detector are activated through an external exposure control unit so that source tube stay momentarily standstill equivalently. 3D scan can cover much wider sweep angle in much shorter time and image analysis can also be done in real-time.

A method for determining one or more vital signs of a person includes recording video images of a scene with an egocentric camera coupled to the person's body, detecting and magnifying image frame-to-image frame movements in the video images of the scene, representing the magnified image frame-to-image frame movements in the video images of the scene by a one-dimensional (1D) amplitude-versus-time series, and transforming the 1D amplitude-versus-time series representation into a frequency spectrum. The method further includes identifying one or more local frequency maxima in the frequency spectrum as corresponding to one or more vital signs of the person.

An X-ray imaging system using multiple pulsed X-ray sources in motion to perform high efficient and ultrafast 3D radiography using an X-ray flexible curved panel detector is presented. There are multiple pulsed X-ray sources mounted on a structure in motion to form an array of sources. The sources move simultaneously relative to an object on a predefined arc track at a constant speed as a group. Each individual X-ray source can move around its static position at a small distance. When an individual source has a speed equal to group speed, but with opposite moving direction, the individual source and detector are activated. This allows source to stay relatively standstill during activation. The operation results in reduced source travel distance for each individual source. 3D radiography image data can be acquired with much wider sweep angle in much shorter time, and image analysis can also be done in real-time.

A medical image-processing apparatus of an embodiment includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a plurality of medical images including a predetermined region and having different time phases. The processing circuitry sets a first region of interest and a second region of interest in each of the plurality of medical images.

The processing circuitry sets a first time window on the basis of the temporal change in the first pixel values and sets a second time window on the basis of the temporal change in the second pixel values.
