HEADSET SYSTEM
Arrangements described herein relate to a headset system and a method to manufacturing the headset system, the headset system including a headset configured to lay on top of a surface and to support a head of a subject when the subject is in a supine position or a reclined position, at least one probe adjustment mechanism, and a probe coupled to the at least one probe adjustment mechanism and configured to emit acoustic energy.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN ADJUSTABLE HEAD HOLDER
Various systems are provided for an adjustable tilting head holder. In one example, a system comprises an adjustable tilting head holder for use with an imaging system the adjustable head holder comprising a table attachment coupled to a first half of a hinge via a first extension arm and the adjustable head holder coupled to a second half of the hinge, and tilt adjustment bar comprising a first rod adjacent to a lever on a first end of the tilt adjustment bar, the first rod configured to engage with a ratchet system of a tilt adjustment mechanism, the tilt adjustment bar further comprising a second rod at a second end of the tilt adjustment bar that is engaged with a joint of a second extension of the table attachment, wherein the second rod is configured to pivot within the joint.
Headset system
Arrangements described herein relate to a headset system and a method to manufacturing the headset system, the headset system including a headset configured to lay on top of a surface and to support a head of a subject when the subject is in a supine position or a reclined position, at least one probe adjustment mechanism, and a probe coupled to the at least one probe adjustment mechanism and configured to emit acoustic energy.
COMPOSITE ULTRASOUND IMAGES
Systems, processes, and apparatuses are provided for imaging a body part of a patient such as an eye of the patient. In some embodiments, a process is provided for adjusting the readings from an ultrasound probe to account for the different speeds of sound through different portions of the eye. In various embodiments, a process is provided for combing multiple images of the body part together. In some embodiments, a process is provided for determining the diameter of the lens of the eye.
FULLY AUTOMATIC ULTRASONIC SCANNER AND SCAN DETECTION METHOD
A fully automatic ultrasonic scanner and a scan detection method is provided. The fully automatic ultrasonic scanner comprises: an ultrasonic probe (4); a driving system (5) for driving the ultrasonic probe (4) to move; and a flexible structure on which the ultrasonic probe (4) is mounted, wherein the flexible structure enables the ultrasonic probe (4) to be always along a curve of a skin surface and keep perpendicular to the skin surface during scanning. The flexible structure of the fully automatic ultrasonic scanner has self-adaptive effect, can adjust the scan trace and the probe angle in real time according to different curves of the human body, and ensure that the ultrasonic probe (4) scans against the skin surface and keeps perpendicular to the skin surface, which improves the quality of the scanned images, so as to enhance the detection rate and accuracy rate of early screening, and reduces the probability of missed diagnosis.
OPHTHALMIC ULTRASOUND BIO-MICROSCOPE (UBM) APPARATUS
Ophthalmic Ultrasound Bio-Microscope (UBM) apparatus for eye examinations of a human subject in a supine position and fixating the gaze of his examined eye on an illuminated overhead fixation target. The ophthalmic UBM apparatus has a vertical UBM examination centerline on which overhead fixation target is located therealong and a scanner with a UBM probe directed towards an examined eye at a known spatial position with respect to the overhead fixation target for acquisition of UBM scans of fixated examined eyes.
Headset system
Arrangements described herein relate to a headset system and a method to manufacturing the headset system, the headset system including a headset configured to lay on top of a surface and to support a head of a subject when the subject is in a supine position or a reclined position, at least one probe adjustment mechanism, and a probe coupled to the at least one probe adjustment mechanism and configured to emit acoustic energy.
NON-INVASIVE DIFFUSE ACOUSTIC CONFOCAL THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING
A method and a device for imaging an object in a first material having a different optical density to the object. The method comprises: focusing an acoustic coherent beam to a virtual acoustic source in a fluid or an amorphous second material outside of the first material; moving the virtual acoustic source in the fluid or amorphous material such that at least a plurality of scattered beams from the virtual acoustic source scan the first material and at least one scattered beam is reflected from the object to form a reflected beam and at least one scattered beam bypasses the object to form a bypass beam, and wherein the reflected beam and the bypass beam intercept one another to form a coherent interference zone; and defocusing the coherent interference zone to provide a Fresnel fringe, the Fresnel fringe forming an image of the object.
Device pad
Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to a head cradle of a medical device, the head cradle pad includes a first section corresponding to a shape of a top portion of the head cradle, a second section corresponding to a shape of a bottom portion of the head cradle, and a center connection portion connecting the first section and the second section. The first section and the second section are shaped to form spatial gaps when the head cradle pad is in a flat state when the head cradle pad is un-affixed to the head cradle. The first section and the second section are shaped to eliminate the spatial gaps when the head cradle pad is affixed to the concave surface of the head cradle.
Method and apparatus for controlling an eyelid during imaging
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided herein to control movement of a patient's eyelid during a diagnostic procedure such as scanning the patient's eye with an ultrasound or optical imaging device. Strips having a non-adhesive portion and an adhesive portion are attached to each eyelid. The patient can then pull on distal ends of the strip to open the patient's eye and press the strips into an eyepiece to hold the patient's eyelids and keep the patient's eye open.
