20110316697 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING AN ENTITY WITHIN AN AREA - A system and method for monitoring an entity within an area is disclosed. The method includes specifying at least one criterion associated with an event of interest. The at least one criterion is specified visually on a display screen. At least one entity to be monitored is identified, and a movement of the at least one entity is captured visually on the display screen. The captured movement of the entity comprises at least one attribute associated with the at least one entity. | 12-29-2011 |
20120078106 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR NON-INVASIVE MONITORING OF PATIENT PARAMETERS - A method for continuous non-invasive monitoring of multiple arterial parameters of a patient is provided. The method includes continuously acquiring ultrasound data via an ultrasound transducer attached to the patient for detecting a blood vessel using color flow processing within a monitoring scan plane. Further, the method includes processing the continuously acquired ultrasound data to generate continuous quantitative waveforms based on an estimated cross-sectional area of the blood vessel and an estimated volumetric flow rate of blood through the vessel and displaying the generated continuous quantitative waveforms for monitoring the arterial parameters of the patient in real-time. | 03-29-2012 |
20120154582 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTOCOL ADHERENCE - The system and method disclosed herein provides an integrated and automated workflow, sensor, and reasoning system that automatically detects breaches in protocols, appropriately alarms and records these breaches, facilitates staff adoption of protocol adherence, and ultimately enables the study of protocols for care comparative effectiveness. The system provides real-time alerts to medical personnel in the actual processes of care, thereby reducing the number of negative patient events and ultimately improving staff behavior with respect to protocol adherence. | 06-21-2012 |
20130060121 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ULTRASOUND BASED AUTOMATED DETECTION, QUANTIFICATION AND TRACKING OF PATHOLOGIES - An automated method for detecting a disease state is presented. The method includes identifying a bone surface in one or more image data sets, wherein the one or more data sets correspond to a region of interest in an object of interest. Furthermore, the method includes segmenting a joint capsule region corresponding to the one or more image data sets based on a corresponding identified bone surface. In addition, the method includes analyzing the segmented joint capsule region to identify the disease state. Systems and non-transitory computer readable medium configured to perform the automated method for detecting a disease state are also presented. | 03-07-2013 |
20130287248 | REAL-TIME VIDEO TRACKING SYSTEM - A method for detecting and tracking a target includes detecting the target using a plurality of feature cues, fusing the plurality of feature cues to form a set of target hypotheses, tracking the target based on the set of target hypotheses and a scene context analysis, and updating the tracking of the target based on a target motion model. | 10-31-2013 |
20140221821 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CATHETER IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL ULTRASOUND IMAGES - An apparatus for detecting catheter(s) in 3D ultrasound images includes a 3D ultrasound image acquiring module and a catheter centerline 3D trajectory generating module. The 3D ultrasound image acquiring module is used for capturing an original 3D ultrasound image. The catheter centerline 3D trajectory generating module is used for detecting and visualizing a catheter in the 3D ultrasound image. | 08-07-2014 |
20140275962 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE AND ULTRASOUND FOR TRACKING ANATOMICAL TARGETS FOR RADIATION THERAPY GUIDANCE - Methods and systems using magnetic resonance and ultrasound for tracking anatomical targets for radiation therapy guidance are provided. One system includes a patient transport configured to move a patient between and into a magnetic resonance (MR) system and a radiation therapy (RT) system and an ultrasound transducer coupled to the patient transport, wherein the ultrasound transducer is configured to acquire four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound images concurrently with one of an MR acquisition or an RT radiation therapy session. The system also includes a controller having a processor configured to use the 4D ultrasound images and MR images from the MR system to control at least one of a photon beam spatial distribution or intensity modulation generated by the RT system. | 09-18-2014 |
