An apparatus for capturing the electrical behavior of the human body during respiration and/or ventilation, the apparatus comprising ventilation elements, elements for capturing the impedance of the patient and at least one control unit. The impedance is captured using at least two electrically conductive electrodes, which capture the electrical behavior of the human body. The elements for capturing the impedance are configured to capture the change in the impedance of the human body over time during respiration and/or ventilation.

Methods and systems are disclosed for radiating a moving object. The method may comprise acquiring a plurality of indicators of the phase of a physiological cycle of a patient and a plurality of images of the patient that include a target. Each image may be taken at a different phase of the physiological cycle and may be registered to the phase at which the image was taken. The method may also include identifying the target in each of the plurality of images, calculating a dose of radiation required to treat the target, calculating the number, orientation, and dwell time of one or more radiation beams required to deliver the calculated required dose of radiation to the target, and calculating a position of each of the one or more radiation beams required to achieve the calculated orientation. Each position may be a function of the phase of the physiological cycle to which each of the plurality of images is registered.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for tomography imaging. The systems and methods may obtain an ultrasonic signal indicating a movement state of a position of an object (e.g., a position inside the object). The ultrasonic signal may be acquired by at least one laser ultrasonic component of a medical device. The systems and methods may determine, based on the ultrasonic signal, movement information of the position of the object. The systems and methods may obtain, based on the movement information of the position, target image data of the object using an imaging component of the medical device.

A system and method for processing measurement data from ECG electrodes. The method includes obtaining a three-dimensional image of the torso of the subject including position information of the electrodes; obtaining ultrasound data of the heart of the subject; and modifying a non-patient-specific three-dimensional anatomical model into a patient-specific three-dimensional model of the heart and torso of the subject on the basis of the ultrasound data. The method includes using electrocardiogram data and the three dimensional patient-specific anatomical model for estimating the distribution, fluctuation and/or movement of electrical activity through heart tissue.

Electromagnetically transparent conductive materials, in particular nanomaterials, are used in a sensor along with piezoelectric materials to detect the motion of a subject to provide respiratory and cardiac gating for imaging techniques such as MRI, CT scans and PET.

Rapid quantitative evaluations of heart function are carried out with strain measurements from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images using a circuit at least partially onboard or in communication with an MRI Scanner and in communication with the at least one display, the circuit including at least one processor that: obtains a plurality of series of MRI images of long and short axis planes of a heart of a patient, with each series of the MRI images is taken over a different single beat of the heart of the patient during an image session that is five minutes or less of active scan time and with the patient in a bore of the MRI Scanner; measures strain of myocardial heart tissue of the heart of the patient based on the plurality of series of MRI images of the heart of the patient; and generates longitudinal and circumferential heart models with a plurality of adjacent compartments, wherein the compartments are color-coded based on the measured strain.

A method of monitoring a breastfeeding of a user that includes providing at least one detector that measures a first data of a breastfeeding event, receiving a second data from the user and processing the first data and the second data to create a lactation transfer report. The method communicates the lactation transfer report to a user device and/or a device accessible by one or more experts and provides feedback to the user based on an evaluation of the lactation transfer report by the one or more experts. The first data includes the time of the breastfeeding event, a length of the breastfeeding event and/or a rate of filling of the breastfeeding event. The user device receives the second data in the form of additional breastfeeding information from the user.
