A diagnosis support system includes a calculator configured to calculate position information indicating a positional relationship between a biological sensor and a predetermined region of a measurement target; and an extractor configured to extract, from biological information already diagnosed, biological information that is associated with position information, which is similar to the position information calculated by the calculator.

A patient-specific assessment of fracture probability for the femur proximal end is provided. 3D locations of the femur head center, a point on the femoral shaft center, and the femoral intercondylar notch are determined from a clinical image. A frontal plane, a perpendicular thereunto and a bone shaft axis are determined from the 3D locations. An FEA coordinate system is defined from the frontal plane, the perpendicular and the axis. Two FEA analyses are performed, one for neck fracture and one for pertrochanteric fracture, with the same displacement constraints and the same load magnitude but different load angles. The femur proximal end is divided into four anatomically-based regions. For each region and each load, maximum tensile and compressive principal strains are determined and, based on the body weight and the principal strains, a likelihood of fracture is obtained. The minimum of these 8 likelihoods gives the probability of fracture.

A contrast-enhanced digital tomosynthesis system with a source configured to emit penetrating particles toward an object, a detector configured to acquire a series of projection images of the object in response to the penetrating particles from the source, a positioning apparatus configured to position the source relative to the object and the detector, and an imaging system coupled to the source, the detector, and the positioning apparatus. The imaging system is configured to control the positioning apparatus to position the source and detector relative to the object, control the source and the detector to acquire the series of projection images, and construct a tomographic volume capable of exhibiting super-resolution morphology and contrast-enhancement arising from injection of an exogenous contrast agent from data representing the acquired series of projection images or a subset thereof.

A method and system for creating a custom-fit orthopedic cast comprises obtaining at least one measurements taken from at least one image of a body part, selecting a template cast, modifying the template cast according to the measurements taken from the at least one image to generate a custom cast model and rendering a custom cast based on the custom cast model.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causes a computer to perform an analysis process based on a radiation moving image in which a dynamic state of a specific site of a subject is captured. The program includes the analysis process in which, an analysis is performed based on the radiation moving image wherein when a plane in which the specific site is movable is to be a movable plane, the radiation moving image is obtained by irradiating radiation on the specific site in a state in which the radiation is orthogonal to the movable plane.

Radiographic imaging identifies a subject anatomy for radiographic image content and automatically identifies a subject’s position from one or more sensor signals. The imaging apparatus issues re-positioning guidance signals for re-positioning the patient. Signals are generated to set an imaging exposure technique and component positions according to data associated with the subject anatomy. A radiographic image of the subject is acquired according to the component and technique signals by automatically energizing the x-ray source. The acquired radiographic image is analyzed using trained logic to determine clinical diagnostic suitability of the image and to identify one or more abnormalities in the subject anatomy.

A method includes moving a radiation source and a radiation detector along a scan path substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of a patient. A beam of radiation is emitted from the radiation source. The beam of radiation is detected at the radiation detector. The detected beam is processed so as to form a first image of a first area of the patient along the scan path.

Systems, instruments, and methods for surgical navigation with verification feedback are provided. The systems, instruments, and methods may be used to verify a trajectory of a surgical tool during a procedure. The systems, instruments, and methods may receive one or more captured images of an anatomical portion of a patient; execute a surgical plan to insert the surgical tool into the anatomical portion; receive sensor data collected from one or more sensors being inserted into the anatomical portion; determine whether the sensor data corresponds to the surgical plan; and send, in response to determining that the sensor data does not correspond to the surgical plan, an alert indicating that the surgical tool is not being inserted according to the surgical plan. The one or more sensors may be attached to the surgical tool.

The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, a device, and a computer program product for radiographic bone mineral density (BMD) estimation. The method includes receiving a plain radiograph, detecting landmarks for a bone structure included in the plain radiograph, extracting an ROI from the plain radiograph based on the detected landmarks, estimating the BMD for the ROI extracted from the plain radiograph by using a deep neural network.

A system for performing a scan of internal structures of an object/patient is provided. The system includes a radiation source operative to emit a radiation beam, a radiation detector operative to receive the radiation beam and generate an output signal based at least in part on the received radiation beam, and a controller in electronic communication with the radiation source and the radiation detector and operative to generate at least one image of the object/patient. The controller is further operative to determine an offset of the at least one image relative to an image reference and to employ the offset to automatically align the at least one image with the image reference without the need for stopping the operation of the radiation source and detector to reposition the object/patient being scanned.
