    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical image acquisition unit assistance apparatus (10) comprising: at least one camera (20); a processing unit (30); and an output unit (40). The at least one camera is configured to be located in the vicinity of a patient support of a medical image acquisition unit. The at least one camera is configured to acquire at least one data of a human operator standing adjacent to the patient support. The at least one camera is configured to provide the at least one data of the operator to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to determine a height of the operator, wherein the determination comprises utilization of the at least one data. The output unit is configured to output a signal to adjust a height of the patient support, wherein the adjustment comprises utilization of the height of the operator.

    Abstract: A method of determining a measure of wave speed or intensity in a fluid conduit uses ultrasound measurements to determine the conduit diameter and fluid velocity in a volume element, each as a function of time, and each at a same longitudinal position of the conduit. The ultrasound measurement to determine fluid velocity is effected by tracking objects within the fluid flow in successive frames sampling the volume element, and obtaining displacement vectors for the objects. A wave speed may be determined from a ratio of the change in fluid velocity at the longitudinal position as a function of time and the change in a logarithmic function of the conduit diameter as a function of time. A measure of wave intensity may be determined as a function of change in determined conduit diameter and corresponding change in fluid velocity.

    Abstract: A system for making custom orthotic devices includes a housing, and the housing includes an opening sized to receive a body part. The system also includes a plastic sheet mounted to the housing such that the plastic sheet is in a position to receive pressure from the body part. The system also includes a ferrous material positioned within the housing. The system further includes an electromagnetic source that generates electromagnetic radiation to heat the ferrous material such that, in conjunction with the received pressure, the plastic sheet molds into an orthotic device for the body part.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to non-invasive detection of peripheral arterial disease. For example, a measuring apparatus is used to measure a patient's calf circumference. The measuring apparatus has text feature(s) or indicator(s) printed thereupon that indicate the likelihood that the patient has peripheral arterial disease based on the measured calf circumference. The assessment may be further refined by using a software application that assesses the likelihood of the patient having peripheral arterial disease using at least the calf circumference measurement, along with other information/data. Based on the assessment, a healthcare practitioner may prescribe a walking program for the patient to follow. A software application may track compliance of the walking program and provide escalating reminders to the patient if the patient continues to fail to comply with the prescribed walking program.
