    摘要: A method of determining the skin-line in a digital medical image comprising the steps of:providing a digital medical image including a matrix of lines and columns of pixels;determining the minimum gray level of the background pixels using a background detection routine;selecting all or at least a representative sample of said lines and/or columns of said image, and for each selected line or column;smoothing the line to minimize the effect of noise on the delineation of pixel gray level transitions;identifying significant transitions from segments of monotonically decreasing gray level values that span a minimum gray level range and start near or above said minimum background gray level;computing a set of features for each identified significant transition; andbased on the set of features computed for each of the identified significant transitions, classifying the transition as either a skin-line transition or as a non-skin-line transition.

    摘要: Method and apparatus to automatically monitor and control a perfusion hyperthermia treatment using a system including one or more programmed computers, and mechanical and sensor subsystems. The system includes a fluid path between a patient and an external fluid-treatment subsystem, wherein control of the external fluid-treatment subsystem includes feedback from sensors coupled to the patient. The resulting integrated system provides automated monitoring and control of the patient, the external fluid-treatment subsystem, and the treatment. In one embodiment, the fluid passing between the patient and the external fluid-treatment subsystem is blood. In one embodiment, an apparatus and method are provided for using a computerized system for a perfusion hyper/hypothermia treatment of a patient which obtains a body fluid having a temperature. A plurality of temperature signals representative of temperatures at each of a plurality of patient locations on or within the patient are coupled to the computer system. Measured temperatures are compared to a set of stored parameters in the computer system to generate a comparison value which controls a change in the temperature of the body fluid. The body fluid is then perfused into the patient to either warm, cool, or maintain the current temperature of the patient. In one such embodiment, the body fluid is blood withdrawn from the patient. In another such embodiment, the body fluid is saline.

    摘要: A particle image in a sample is formed at an imaging position by an objective lens of a microscope, projected on the image picking up plane of a TV camera via a projection lens and is subjected to photo-electric conversion. Image signals from the TV camera are supplied to an image memory via an A/D converter as well as to an image processing control unit. Image signals outputted from the image memory are supplied to a characteristic picking out unit and there a plurality of characteristics of the particle concerned are picked out. The picked-out characteristics are supplied to the classification unit and there classification of the sediment components is perfumed via a neural network with a learning capability. Accordingly, the classification unit performs provisionally an automatic classification of the objective sediment components by making use of the inputted characteristic parameters. The device allows accurate and fast automatic component particle analysis even for patient specimens containing a variety of components in high concentration.

    摘要: A system and method of diagnosis provides that data from a hematopathology analyzer, e.g., hematology analyzer and/or other blood testing instrument or test, is input and compared with patterns corresponding to specific patient conditions. The matched patterns are arranged in a hierarchy in accordance with predetermined rules. Initially the patterns matched are displayed, optionally with recommendations for additional testing. If additional testing is done, a comparison of the original test data and new data is done, the patterns matched and at least one highest ranked pattern is identified, optionally with a differential diagnosis.

    摘要: A method and a device for giving patients individualized, situation-dependent medication advice are disclosed. Preferably, the invention is implemented in portable computers. The method is founded on knowledge-based computer technology and comprises a reminder function (1), a recording and storage function (2, 3), as well as a function for inductive data analysis (4) and rule generation. When the knowledge-based system (6) finds that a medicine should be taken, the computer emits a signal providing information on the type of medicine and the dose. The patients records the intake of medicine as well as his current state of health. This information is stored in a database together with the point of time. Inductive data analysis is used to spot the relationship between various events and symptoms as well as establish medication rules. These rules are refined upon as new information is recorded in the database, and are automatically adapted to changes in the patient's state of health.

    摘要: A application program interface is provided to a toolkit framework of service objects which enable rapid creation of application computer programs which implement the services and protocol of the Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) standard. A framework of service objects is provided which enables a programmer to easily develop application methods which provide DICOM services or other custom services. An object-oriented application interface is provided. The service objects provide a familiar connection between the familiar DICOM standard service objects and a group of associated methods within the framework. The associated methods work together to provide a DICOM service. Service Class User and Service Class Provider objects manage service object communications and are derived from baseclasses in the framework.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for categorizing health care utilization provides an efficient aid in identifying patients who are seeking inappropriate care. The invention involves a computer system having a neural network responsive to several input variables to categorize the utilization characteristics of the patient. The input variables define selected characteristics of a patient. In one embodiment, a screening process identifies patients who are at high risk to an immediate threat to their health and eliminates those least likely to be seeking inappropriate care.
