| 20090076368 | Integrated imaging workstation and a method for improving, objectifying and documenting in vivo examinations of the uterus - Exemplary embodiments provide an imaging workstation with improved ergonomics, and a method for improving, objectifying and documenting in vivo examinations of the uterus. The imaging workstation may include an imaging head and a display, and may include mechanical supporting structures that allow the imaging head, display, and examination area to be simultaneously placed in an examiner's field of view. The imaging workstation may include means for the uniform application of a diagnostic marker. The method may involve acquiring a reference image of a tissue surface, applying a diagnostic marker and initiating image acquisition, acquiring tissue images in time sequence, aligning the captured images, and calculating dynamic optical curves and dynamic optical parameters from the images. The curves and parameters may be used to create a pseudocolor map representing different functional or structural features represented in the images, or different pathologies. | 03-19-2009 |
