    Abstract: The invention provides device for detecting potential sinus pathologies, comprising a patch (310), comprising one or more vibration sensing devices (320), configured to be placed on facial bones overlying a sinus of a subject, wherein the patch is configured to obtain facial bone vibration signals generated due to vibrations in facial bones surrounding the sinus, wherein characteristics of the facial bone vibration signals are representative of condition of the sinus. The device further comprises a processing subsystem operationally coupled to the patch and configured to: receive the facial bone vibration signals from the patch during vocalization of sounds by the subject, resulting in resonant frequency vibrations of the facial bones; and determine a physiological measure of the sinus of the subject based on characteristics of the facial bone vibration signals received during said vocalization of sounds by the subject, wherein the facial bone vibration signals comprise the resonant frequency vibrations.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method (600) of monitoring patient data. A patient record data source enables to access a patient record of a patient, wherein the patient record indicates a version of a medical protocol currently being used with the patient. A protocol data source indicates available versions of the medical protocol and/or of a medical guideline from which the medical protocol is derived. The used version of the medical protocol is compared to a further version of the medical protocol or of the medical guideline accessible via the protocol data source to obtain a change indicator for the used version of the medical protocol, and the change indicator is output.

    Abstract: An apparatus (M) and related method for supporting X-ray imaging. The apparatus comprises an input interface (IN) for receiving a request to perform an X-ray exposure with an X-ray source (XR) of an X-ray imager (XI) to image an object (PAT). A compliance checker (CC) of the apparatus (M) is configured to check said request against an imaging safety protocol for said object to produce a safety compliance result. A safety enforcer (SE) of the apparatus is configured to issue, based on the safety compliance result, i) an alert signal and/or ii) a control signal to initiate a safety action that at least affect an impact of the requested X-ray exposure on the object.

    Abstract: A cancer test includes: processing a suspect tissue sample (10) acquired from a subject (6) to generate a suspect whole genome sequence (WGS) (20); processing a normal tissue sample (12) acquired from the subject to generate a normal WGS (22); computing a WGS comparison metric comparing the suspect WGS with the normal WGS; and identifying whether the suspect tissue sample comprises cancer tissue based on the computed WGS comparison metric. A tumor delineation method comprises: acquiring a plurality of probative tissue samples (104) from a subject (6) in or near a tumor (100); recording the sampling locations of the probative tissue samples; classifying each probative tissue sample respective to cancer based on genetic testing of the probative tissue sample; and delineating a boundary (110) of the tumor based on the classifications of the probative tissue samples and the recorded sampling locations.

    Abstract: A system (10) is for performing ECG measurements and comprises a probe (12) with an integrated one or more ECG electrodes (22) and an ultrasound sensing means (18), such as a transducer arrangement. The probe thus provides a mobile ECG electrode which can be sequentially moved between a set of different locations on the body for acquiring ECG measurements from different angles relative to the heart (i.e. different ‘leads’). Positioning of the probe in each required location is guided by a position guidance function which uses ultrasound data acquired by the ultrasound sensing means to locate the probe (with reference to an ultrasound body atlas (28) or map), and uses a stored set of reference body locations to guide a user with guidance information as to how to move the probe to arrive at a next target electrode location. In examples, the user may be guided through a sequence of electrode locations, with ECG data acquired at each one, thereby sequentially building up a set of standard ECG lead measurements.

    Abstract: The quality of thoracic X-rays is depends on the inspiration state of an imaged patient. If the lungs of a patient are not significantly inflated during a thoracic X-ray, tissue from surrounding organs can cause the image to become cloudier, and the lung parenchyma is not effectively shown. Thus, there is a reliance on a medical professional to ensure that the patient is in an appropriate posture and inspiration state at the point of image exposure. This can be difficult with patients suffering from chronic conditions, though. Therefore, this application discusses a means to assess the inspiration state using the position of rib bones, and the diaphragm line in the X-ray image. Thus, an accurate estimate of inspiration state can automatically be reported to a medical professional, before a patient leaves the examination room, allowing an X-ray to be retaken, if necessary.

    Abstract: Reference feature vectors are constructed representing refer-ence genetic data sets of a reference population. The reference feature vec-tors are transformed using a linear transformation to generate reduced di-mensionality vector representations of the reference genetic data sets of the reference population. A tree-based spatial data structure is constructed to index the reference genetic data sets as data points defined by at least some dimensions of the reduced dimensionality vector representations of the ref-erence genetic data sets of the reference population. The linear transform may be generated by performing feature reduction on the reference feature vectors. A feature vector representing a proband genetic data set is trans-formed using the linear transformation to generate a reduced-dimensional-ity vector representation that is located in the tree-based spatial data struc-ture to perform population assignment for the proband genetic data set.

    Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores an assembled genetic sequence comprising aligned sequencing reads. An electronic processing device is configured to perform operations including: identifying a possible variant in the assembled genetic sequence; computing value of at least one read property for reads of the assembled genetic sequence; and calling the possible variant conditional upon the computed values of the at least one read property for sequencing reads of the assembled genetic sequence that include the possible variant satisfying an acceptance criterion. The electronic processing device may be further configured to select at least one region of the assembled genetic sequence for validation based on a non random selection criterion.
