    摘要: An image processing enhancement system for receiving a fiber based image. The characteristics of fiber bundle are used to image process an image which has come through the fiber bundle. Those characteristics may be obtained from individual calibration, or simply from a knowledge of the fiber bundle's likely characteristics. One aspect determines the positions of fiber pixels, and interpolates between those fiber pixels.

    摘要: A sensing guidewire device used to measure physiological parameters within a living body. In one embodiment, the device is used to measure the fractional flow reserve (FFR) across a stenotic lesion in a patient's vasculature. The device includes a sensor that is adapted to be affixed near the distal end of a guidewire. The guidewire contains a corewire, processed to enclose electrical conductors in a sealed, off-centered interstice or channel, with an outer diameter approximate to the outer diameter of the device, running substantially the full length of the device, and has a homogenous outer surface. The enclosed eccentric channel provides space for electrical conductors to move freely. The corewire can have a tapered segment to create desirable flexibility. A solid connector comprised of alternating conductive and insulating elements for connecting the conductors to an external device is disclosed. The guidewire can be advanced through a patient's blood vessels, returning pressure measurements across vessel blockages that allow for accurate assessment of blockage severity and lead to better clinical outcomes.
