Slit lamp microscope, which is widely used to diagnose the problem of patientspsila eye, has been applied as a major component to develop a telediagnosis system called the eye tele-analyzer. This equipment has been modified in mechanical structure, electronic design, and software architecture and application to be remotely controlled by any ophthalmologist working at the center hospital through the...
In this paper we describe an integrated mobile system applicable in emergency medicine, able to provide tele-healthcare services and remote transfer of medical data in order to ensure triage, early accurate diagnosis and treatment in case of major trauma. The main goal of the project is to develop tools for performance enhancement of emergency medical services, based on the FAST (focused assessment...
The DICOM standard is a set of rules that allows medical images to be digitally exchanged, viewed and archived. Since the year 2000 the widely used DICOM standard has included rules for diagnostic ECG waveforms, but for a long time, no ECG manufacturer had marketed electrocardiographs that support the DICOM waveform standard. It was spring 2006 before the first ECG manufacturer announced its adoption...
Motion degrades magnetic resonance (MR) images and prevents acquisition of self-consistent and high-quality volume images. A novel methodology, Snapshot magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with volume reconstruction (SVR) has been developed for imaging moving subjects at high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The method combines registered 2D slices from sequential dynamic single-shot...
In this article, a low cost, real-time patient monitoring platform designed to improve the current medical services in China's community healthcare system for the BOP population is presented. The current system is composed of three parts: the smart sensor unit, the server unit, and the medical assistant (MA) unit. Some vital-sign signals such as electrocardiogram (ECG), skin temperature (ST), pulses,...
The telemedicine is a new medical discipline that combined the traditional medicine and the communication, networks and multimedia technology in the medical industry. This paper presents the system design and development of a cooperative telemedicine environment for stomatological medical diagnosis. The system can support both for hospitals and patients engaged the stomatological diagnosis. The environment...
With the large amount of image data accumulated daily from medical imaging modalities and picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) in hospitals, we can take advantage of this resource to investigate innovative clinical service, research and education using the concept of imaging informatics. In this paper we describe three current PACS-based research agendas: medical imaging informatics,...
Along the last years the relationship between autonomic nervous system (ANS) function and cardiovascular mortality has been recognized as a fact. This has lead researchers to focus on quantitative indicators for autonomic balance, which are able to work as markers for several diseases, even at early states. At this point, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has been reported to be one of the most promising...
A pediatric and an adult database, with 550 and 443 samples respectively, are used to test the efficiency of the AED analysis algorithm originally developed for adult rhythms. Statistical analysis of the four significant parameters that define the shock-noshock classification algorithm has been performed. Following parameters are considered: Pulse Rate (PR), Waveform Power Ratio (WPR), and two morphological...
This article deals with modeling of electromagnetic processes in device for charging of storage batteries by asymmetric current with an application pulse regulation method. New device have increased efficiency at comparison with existing device.
Summary form only given. The authors analyze tissue characterization by ultrasound within a framework of specific performance criteria that are proposed as being practically relevant. An initial conclusion is that any practicable tissue characterization technique will need to have the form of real-time, quantitative parametric imaging. Both commercial and clinical learning requirements suggest the...
In the course of exploring the potential of spectral analysis of valve closing sounds for the detection of valvular degeneration, a method was developed for determining, in a dog, the influence of PR interval (PRI) and heart rate (HR) on the spectra of intracardiac and thoracic first and second heart sounds. Preliminary results emphasize the strong dependence of the first heart sound spectra on the...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an anterior horn cell disease characterized by muscle wasting, weakness and fatigue. A test frame has been designed to assess muscle strength and endurance in SMA quantitatively with the following features: (1) Patients of all ages and strength can be tested at specific positions for several upper and lower extremity joints using isometric contraction in the plane...
