Abstract: An optical system for guiding light from an interrogation zone to a detector system. The optical system includes an optical device, a first waveguide, and a second waveguide. The optical device is preferably adapted to collect and partition light into a first channel and a second channel of substantially similar light from a substantially singular orientation of the interrogation zone. The first waveguide is preferably adapted to guide the first channel from the optical device to a detector system without substantial interruption. Likewise, the second waveguide is preferably adapted to guide the second channel from the optical device to a detector system without substantial interruption. Preferably, the light of the first channel can be filtered without affecting the light of the second channel, and the light of the second channel can be filtered without affecting the light of the first channel.

Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the invention includes a single integrated circuit for a handheld probe of an ultrasound system. The integrated circuit includes a two-dimensional array of at least 512 transducer cells, each transducer cell is adapted to receive a beam signal, generate an ultrasonic beam, detect an ultrasonic echo at multiple locations, and combine the ultrasonic echoes into a single multiplexed echo signal. Each transducer cell includes at least one ultrasonic beam generator and at least four ultrasonic echo detectors. The integrated circuit also includes a series of beam signal leads adapted to carry the beam signals to the transducer cells and a series of echo signal leads adapted to carry the multiplexed echo signals from the transducer cells.

Abstract: The present invention includes a system and a method of representing a medical event. The method includes the steps of collecting 3D information on an event, identifying a non-linear aspect of the event, determining a non-planar slice of the 3D information that represents the non-linear aspect, and outputting the non-planar slice as a representation of the event. The system includes an imaging device for collecting 3D information on an event. The system further includes a processor for identifying a non-linear aspect of the event, determining a non-planar slice of the 3D information that represents the non-linear aspect and outputting the non-planar slice as a representation of the event.
