摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for a method for securing a patient for a medical procedure and specifically for an innovative headrest system for securing a patient for an ocular imaging procedure. The approach avoids the need for linkages and sliding rods and such. Instead, it relies on three independently movable face rests (two for the forehead or temples and one for the chin) each with a deformable cushion that is urged into conformity with the patient's head and chin during an adjustment phase of operation. Once a comfortable position and suitable conforming shape is achieved, the positions of the face rests are rigidly fixed and the shape of the cushions are rendered rigid and non-deformable, by application of a light vacuum, for the procedural or imaging phase of operation.

摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for generating accurate and precise ultrasonic images of biological materials or animate objects, such as the cornea and lens of the eye, and, in particular, to an ultrasonic scanning apparatus that can position its virtual center of curvature such that its ultrasonic transducer will emit pulses that reflect substantially perpendicularly from a curved specular surface of interest within the eye. This invention can allow real time imaging of a lens as it accommodates and can better enable researchers and ophthalmic surgeons to develop, fit, implant and diagnose performance of accommodative lenses.

摘要: The present invention relates to a measurement of a flow by the use of Doppler ultrasound, and in particular, by analyzing the spectrum of the reflected ultrasonic signal. The reflected signal is mixed electronically with the transmitted signal in a product detector, demodulator or similar component (250) to produce a signal that is shifted in frequency. In another embodiment, the method includes analyzing the spectrum (280, 300) of the reflected ultrasonic beams by performing the step of: (a) determining a maximum frequency of the detector output signal which is representative of a maximum particle velocity; and (b) calculating a total flow of the particles based on the maximum particle velocity.
