Provided are an obstetric and gynecologic diagnosis apparatus and an obstetric and gynecologic diagnosis method using the same. The obstetric and gynecologic diagnosis apparatus includes a chair unit on which an object is mounted, the chair unit including an upper body support, a seat, and a leg cradle sequentially arranged in one direction and connected to each other; a storage configured to store body information of the object; an input interface configured to input identification (ID) information of the object; a controller configured to generate a control signal for moving at least one of the upper body support, the seat, and the leg cradle according to first body information of the object identified by the input ID information; and a driver configured to generate a driving force for moving at least one of the upper body support, the seat, and the leg cradle according to the control signal.

A method of performing an ultrasound scan of cellular tissue by placing a flexible membrane overlaid with ultrasonic coupling material as part of a probe enclosure adjacent the cellular tissue, pressurizing the probe enclosure, moving an ultrasound probe within the probe enclosure over the flexible membrane with the head of the ultrasound probe submerged in the ultrasonic coupling material and displaced from the flexible membrane and generating a plurality of cross-sectional images of the cellular tissue as the ultrasound probe moves over the flexible membrane. The ultrasonic probe may be driven by a programmable controller. A flat surface of an axilla pad may be placed adjacent the flexible membrane and an examination wedge may be placed under one lateral side of a patient to raise the one lateral side of the patient above the other lateral side of the patient when the flexible membrane is placed adjacent to the cellular tissue.

A mobile platform includes a chassis, a sensor module and at least one holding mechanism. In an embodiment, the at least one holding mechanism is designed to guide a first medical device and is configured to position the first medical device in at least one operating position within an adjusting range.

The present invention relates to a medical data processing method of determining a three-dimensional shape of a medical support device for supporting an anatomical body part of a patient, the method being constituted to be executed by a computer and comprising the following steps acquiring body part geometry data describing a geometry of the anatomical body part; acquiring medical procedure data describing an envisaged medical procedure to be carried out on the patient; acquiring atlas data describing a general three-dimensional shape of the anatomical body part; determining, based on the body part geometry data and the medical procedure data and the atlas data, support device geometry data describing the geometry of the support device.

Systems and methods for the assessment of fluid content and electrolyte balance in patients are provided. The systems generally include two or more ultrasound transducers and may include impedance-sensing electrodes as well. These elements are positioned about a soft tissue of a patient by means of a retention element.

The present disclosure is related to a system. The system may include a medical device, a medical device, a storage device, a processing device, and an interaction device. The medical device may be configured to perform a medical procedure on a subject or a portion thereof. The storage device may be configured to store subject procedure information relating to the medical procedure on the subject. The processing device may be configured to communicate with the medical device, the storage device, and the interaction device. The interaction device may be configured to communicate to the subject at least a portion of the subject procedure information during the medical procedure.

System for treatment positioning is provided. The system may include a treatment component, an imaging component, and a couch. The treatment component may include a radiation source that has a radiation isocenter. The couch may be movable between the treatment component and the imaging component, and include a positioning line that has a positioning feature. The system may acquire at least one first image relating to a subject and the positioning line using the radiation source at a set-up position. The system may also acquire at least one second image relating to the subject and the positioning line using the imaging component at an imaging position. The system may further determine a treatment isocenter of a target of the subject based on the at least one second image, and determine a treatment position of the subject based on the first image(s), the second image(s), and the positioning line.

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.

Devices and methods for obtaining external shapes and internal tissue geometries, as well as tissue behaviors, of a biological body segment are provided. A device for three-dimensional imaging of a biological body segment includes a structure configured to receive the biological body segment, the structure including a first array of imaging devices disposed about a perimeter of the device to capture side images of the biological body segment and a second array of imaging devices disposed at an end of the device to capture images of a distal portion of the biological body segment. The second array has a generally axial viewing angle relative to the perimeter. A controller is configured to generate a three-dimensional reconstruction of the biological body segment based on cross-correlation of captured images from the first and second arrays.

An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system (10) and method are described for conduct of an ultrasonic image-guided invasive procedure. An ultrasound system having a touchscreen display (30) located at the distal end of an articulating display arm (32) is positioned on one side of a patient table (110). The clinician performing the procedure is located on the other side of the patient table. The touchscreen display is extended over the patient table by articulation of the articulating arm. The position of the touchscreen display is adjusted by the clinician for optimal viewing in front of the clinician and above the patient table.
