A displacement mechanism for placing an optical device onto a patient's eyes and removing the optical device from the patient's eyes when the patient is located in a patient bore of a medical imaging system. The mechanism includes a pneumatic device and a resilient element attached between an inner surface of the patient bore and the optical device wherein the resilient element extends through the pneumatic device and wherein the optical device is spaced apart from the patient's eyes in a first position. A pump inflates the pneumatic device to move the optical device to a second position wherein the optical device is placed on the patient's eyes. Inflation of the pneumatic device extends the resilient element and biases the resilient element to return to the first position. A vent valve vents air from the pneumatic device to return the optical device to the first position.

A monitoring device for monitoring of vital signs of a living organism comprises at least two electrode pins for receiving an electrical activity of the living organism and an optical sensor for sensing a pulse of the living organism, wherein the monitoring device has a compact form and the at least two electrode pins and the optical sensor are integrated in the monitoring device.

Equipment for applying active elements to a cranium of a patient comprises a support and a plurality of active elements, wherein the support comprises a means of connection with a patient and means for positioning the active elements in order to excite N+M zones of the cranium, the N+M zones comprising the zones VG.sub.19, VG.sub.20, VG.sub.21, C.sub.4, C.sub.5R, C.sub.5L, C.sub.6R and C.sub.6L, N and M being two integer numbers, N being a number between 2 and 8, M being less than N/2.

A dental imager includes an elongated handle with a rotatable head coupled to a distal end thereof and having a central platform with a plurality of arcuate scanning arms pivotally coupled thereto by a hinge. The arcuate scanning arms are of a shape and size for general deployment around a tooth and each include at least one scanner and a roller guide that comfortably rolls along the surface of the tooth or gums to bias the scanners a desired distance from the surface of the tooth, conducive for imaging thereof. In this respect, such a dental imager may be used in a process to scan and record the contours of an intraoral surface, the data of which may be used to create a digital three-dimensional surface impression printable by a 3D printer or the like.

A system, method, and storage device storing computer executable instructions for use in tissue analysis and therapy. A motorized optical probe for illuminating tissue generates light fluorescence and/or diffuse reflectance signals corresponding to the illuminated tissue. One or more ultrasound, CT and MRI imaging guidance systems identify the position of the optical probes relative to the tissue. An imaging system generates a three-dimensional image of the tissue based on the generated light signals and the identified position of the optical probe.

A subject information acquisition apparatus comprises a casing in which a transmissive member capable of transmitting acoustic waves and laser beams therethrough is provided; a light irradiating unit disposed inside the casing so as to irradiate a subject with laser beams with the transmissive member interposed; an acoustic wave probe disposed inside the casing so as to receive acoustic waves with the transmissive member interposed; and a scanning mechanism disposed inside the casing so as to move the light irradiating unit and the acoustic wave probe in relation to the casing, wherein the casing is configured to be movable on the subject.

A contact thermography kit comprising a plurality of temperature sensitive thermographic plates arranged to be placed in contact with the skin of a user, where each plate is adapted to assume a graphic pattern as a function of a detected temperature interval, so as to generate a corresponding thermographic image, and the plurality of plates is adapted to measure temperatures between 24° and 36°.

Data manipulation using intraoral, connected devices is disclosed. Wired connectivity is provided between a first device and a second device, both inside the mouth. The first device comprises a processor device. The wired connectivity is provided by a serpentine coupling. The serpentine coupling enables three-dimensional flexibility inside the mouth for the coupling. The serpentine coupling comprises an electrical cable. The serpentine coupling can be routed in the valley space between teeth, routed behind a last molar tooth, or routed over one or more teeth inside the mouth. Wireless connectivity is provided between the first device and a device outside the mouth. The wireless connectivity is enabled using a wireless transceiver. Data transmission is enabled between the first device and the device outside the mouth. The enabling includes powering at least the first device using an intraoral energy source.

Apparatus for medical screening includes a plurality of acoustic transducers, which are configured to sense acoustic waves emitted from a body of a subject and to output signals in response thereto. A frame is configured to position the acoustic transducers in proximity to a thorax of the subject, so that the acoustic transducers receive the acoustic waves emitted from different, respective locations on the thorax. Processing circuitry is configured to collect and process the signals so as to assess a respiratory condition of the subject and to issue an alarm upon detecting a pathological respiratory condition, such as a suspicion of COVID-19.

A wristband pulse diagnosis instrument including two pulse diagnosis instrument units is provided. Each of the two pulse diagnosis instrument units includes a wristband body, a pressure sensor, a first adjusting mechanism, and a second adjusting mechanism. A connecting member is disposed at each of two sides of the wristband body, and the connecting members are used to selectively connect the two pulse diagnosis instrument units to each other. The pressure sensor is movably disposed on the wristband body via the first adjusting mechanism and the second adjusting mechanism. A depthwise movement of the pressure sensor is adjusted by the first adjusting mechanism for the pressure sensor to move to three pulse positions of floating, medium, and deep, and a lateral movement of the pressure sensor is adjusted by the second adjusting mechanism for the pressure sensor to move to three pulse positions of distal, mid, and proximal.
