摘要:
A method includes identifying medical concepts in identified patient cases that are missing from medical concepts in first electronically formatted medical information as missing medical concepts, and selecting an imaging protocol for an imaging procedure based on a combination of the medical concepts from the first electronically formatted medical information and the missing medical concepts, and generating a signal indicative of the selected imaging protocol. A method includes identifying at least one of one or more medical concepts as a relevant additional concept, and selecting an imaging protocol for the imaging procedure based on a combination of one or more clinical indications and the relevant additional concept, and generating a signal indicative of the selected imaging protocol.
摘要:
A system, apparatus, and method are provided for control of a catheter (including an ablation catheter), bronchoscope/endoscope and beveled needle. Control of a bronchoscope (100) is calculated for a 3D environment based on capabilities of the bronchoscope and the patient morphology. This can be used to plan and simulate an optimal motion, train or compare surgical techniques or automate the procedure. A particular bronchoscope may be recommended based on its form and flexibility as well as based on the personal morphology of the patient rather than relying on statistical norms. For all tools, a 6 dimensional configuration space problem is solved using 3 storage dimensions and a ‘6D neighborhood’ for path planning. The present invention finds the kinematically feasible path from a ‘start’ to a goal, while avoiding obstacles and dangerous regions.

A security monitoring system including: an alarm system having detectors for detecting an unauthorized individual in a structure; at least one camera for capturing first image data of the unauthorized individual; a memory for storing second image data of at least one individual authorized to be in the structure; and a data link for transmitting third image data to a remote location upon the detection of the unauthorized individual. The third image data including at least portions of the first and second image data for comparison at the remote location. In a preferred implementation, the first image data includes image data of more than the face of the unauthorized individual and the system further includes a computer vision system for detecting the face of the unauthorized individual from the first image data. In such an implementation, the first and second image data are face images and are arranged in a picture having the unauthorized individual at a top portion of the picture and the authorized individuals arranged along a bottom row of the picture.

A system for suggesting autocompletion terms during text entry of a report. A text entry unit (2) for enabling a user to enter a text into a current report (1). A term selector (11) for selecting at least one frequently co-occurring term (12), based on an extracted term (8), the extracted term section (9), the current section (10), and a co-occurrence statistic (7). An indicator (13) provides an indication of the at least one frequently co-occurring term (12) to the user. A system for analyzing reports comprises a co-occurrence statistics generator (26) for generating a plurality of co-occurrence statistics, a co-occurrence statistic being indicative of a first term, a first section, a second term, a second section, and a frequency in which reports contain the first term in the first section in combination with the second term in the second section.
摘要:
A magnetic resonance imaging scan using a MR scanner receives via a user interface a MR imaging protocol categorizable into a MR scan type of a predefined set of MR scan types. Further, a database is queried by providing to the database scan information permitting the database to identify the MR scan type of the MR imaging protocol. Statistical information on the MR scan type which can include statistics on modifications of individual scan parameters of the MR scan type is received from a database, and the statistical information is provided to the user interface. Modifications of the MR imaging protocol can be received from the user interface, resulting in a modified MR imaging protocol, according to which the MR imaging scan can be performed.

摘要:
A clinical decision support system (CDSS) includes a CDSS module (20) comprising a digital processing device (10) configured to store patient data (34) and a clinical guideline (22). The clinical guideline comprises connected nodes representing clinical workflow events, actions, or decisions, wherein contiguous groups of the nodes are grouped into care phases (40). The CDSS module is configured to associate patient data with patient care phases selected from the care phases of the clinical guideline, and determine patient care phase time intervals for the patient care phases based on acquisition date information for the patient data associated with the patient care phases. The selected patient care phase may be a care phase associated with a clinical guideline node associated with the new patient data, or may be a patient care phase that is consistent with the acquisition date for the new patient data.
摘要:
A stereo camera system including: a stereo imaging system such as two or more cameras or a camera and a set of angled mirrors, for outputting at least one stereo image; a recognition system for locating an object of interest in the field of view of the stereo imaging system and at least one of a distance of the object of interest from the stereo imaging system and the size of the object of interest; and an adjustor for automatically changing at least one system parameter which affects the spatial resolution of the object of interest based on at least one of the located distance of the object of interest from the stereo imaging system and the size of the object of interest.
摘要:
The invention relates to a highly automated puncture system for inserting a cannula or a needle into a blood vessel of a person or an animal. The puncture system has an acquisition module that allows for determining at least a location of a blood vessel underneath of the surface of a skin and is further enabled to determine an optimal puncture location that is potentially suitable for inserting a cannula into the blood vessel. Further, the puncture system has tissue analysis means to analyse the skin surface in the proximity of the puncture location to check whether the skin is suitable for punctuation. This prevents puncturing the skin at locations where scars, wound and the like can be found.
