A portable photogrammetry studio for digitisation of human body surfaces.

Devices, systems, tools and methods are disclosed during diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions. A cervical plumb line device is disclosed which can be used to produce a measurement of the sagittal vertical axis associated with a target part of a patient's cervical spinal anatomy from two or more radiographic images. Also disclosed is an apparatus for measuring the angulation of a patient's spinal anatomy relative to a cervical plumb line which uses a plurality of bolsters. A device that can be used to assist in implantation of an interbody device during spinal fusion device is also disclosed. Systems which produce geometric data describing optimized spinal fusion geometric at a spine level selected to receive spinal fusion.

Kits, diagnostic systems and methods are provided, which measure the distribution of colors of skin features by comparison to calibrated colors which are co-imaged with the skin feature. The colors on the calibration template (calibrator) are selected to represent the expected range of feature colors under various illumination and capturing conditions. The calibrator may also comprise features with different forms and size for calibrating geometric parameters of the skin features in the captured images. Measurements may be enhanced by monitoring over time changes in the distribution of colors, by measuring two and three dimensional geometrical parameters of the skin feature and by associating the data with medical diagnostic parameters. Thus, simple means for skin diagnosis and monitoring are provided which simplify and improve current dermatologic diagnostic procedures.

A system and method for tracking completeness of co-registered medical image data is disclosed herein. The system and method tracks the position of an anatomical reference marker positionable on a patient and an ultrasound probe during an imaging session and co-registers medical images based on positional data received from the anatomical reference marker and the ultrasound probe. Using the co-registered image data, the system and method generates a surface contour of a region of interest (ROI) of the patient, such as a breast. The surface contour is defined to represent an interface between a chest wall structure and tissue of the ROI in a plurality of co-registered medical images. A completeness map of the image data within the defined surface contour during the imaging session is generated and overlaid on a graphic representation of the ROI.

A method for site assessments of a catheter insertion site and/or dressing includes: scanning the catheter insertion site and/or dressing with an image capture device and/or sensor; selecting a patient baseline site location and skin tone; recording a baseline condition using a computing device; determining a site assessment rate using a computing device; prompting a clinician to make a site assessment of the catheter insertion site and/or dressing using a computing device; and recording site assessment information in an electronic medical record using a computing device.

Described herein are systems and methods of processing immobilization molds for application of treatment, A computing system may generate a three-dimensional mold model of immobilization mold within with a subject is to be positioned for application of a treatment. The computing system may subtract a three-dimensional scan of at least a portion of the subject from the three-dimensional mold model to define an opening therein. The computing system may remove, from the three-dimensional mold model, a first portion to define an imprint in the opening from a first axis along which the subject is to enter. The computing system may remove, from a second portion of the three-dimensional mold model remaining with the removal of the first portion, inward protrusions into the imprint of relative to the second axis intersecting the first axis.

An intra-oral scanning device includes a light source and an optical system, and communicates with a display system. The device has a reduced form factor as compared to prior devices, and it provides for more efficient transmission and capture of images.

A spinal disorder diagnosis and treatment planning system is provided. The diagnosis and treatment planning system includes a mixed reality holographic display including at least one processor, at least one camera, at least one sensor, and being configured to acquire data points corresponding to a surface of a body adjacent to vertebral tissue. A computer database is configured to transmit imaging of the body including the vertebral tissue to the mixed reality holographic display. The mixed reality holographic display is configured to display a first holographic image of the vertebral tissue superimposed with a body image including the surface. Methods are also disclosed.

For training for and performance of patient modeling from surface data in a medical system, a progressive multi-task model is used. Different tasks for scanning are provided, such as landmark estimation and patient pose estimation. One or more features learned for one task are used as fixed or constant features in the other task. This progressive approach based on shared features increases efficiency while avoiding reductions in accuracy for any given task.

A digital topographic model of the luminal surface is generated by projecting an optical pattern on the luminal surface from the first location within the lumen. At least a portion of the projected pattern is detected from a second location within the lumen which is based apart from the first location. The dimensions of the luminal wall can be measured by triangulation in order to produce the digital topographic model of the body lumen.
