  • Publication number: 20240168117
    Abstract: 3D MRI images of the brain may be created and acquired. After administration of contrast, brain lesions and other abnormalities may be identified and isolated from the 3D MRI images, with each lesion serving as a region of interest (ROI). 3D region of contrast enhancement images may be created from segmented 3D MRI images and different regions of contrast enhancement of the brain lesion may be depicted. Saved regions of contrast enhancement may be converted into stereolithography format, maximum intensity projection (MIP) images, and/or orthographic projection images. Data corresponding to these resulting 3D region of contrast enhancement images may be used to create 3D printed models of the isolated region of contrast enhancement. Analysis of the 3D brain region of contrast enhancement images and the 3D printed region of contrast enhancement models may enable a more efficient and accurate way of determining brain lesion risk factors and effective treatment regimens.

  • Patent number: 11935647
    Abstract: A medical monitoring and surveillance system uses a server communicating with a general-purpose personal device running an application. The application may be downloadable. The application is configured by the server. The application configures the device to perform medical tests using the sensors, preexisting capabilities, and functionality built into the device. The device may be a cellular telephone with data communication and other functionality, a personal digital organizer, a portable entertainment device, or another similar personal device. The application reports the results of the medical tests to the server or a third party device. Various trigger events and associated tasks may be incorporated in the server or in the application residing on the device. A trigger event may occur, for example, in response to the test results meeting one or more predetermined criteria. Once a trigger event occurs, a task associated with the trigger event is performed.

  • Publication number: 20210041518
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and implementations for creating 3-dimensional (3D) representations exhibiting geometric and surface characteristics of post-contrast brain lesions are disclosed. 3D MRI images of the brain may be created and acquired. After administration of a contrast substance, brain lesions and other abnormalities may be identified and isolated from the 3D MRI images, with each lesion serving as a region of interest (ROI). 3D region of contrast enhancement images may be created from segmented 3D MRI images and different regions of contrast enhancement of the brain lesion may be depicted. Saved regions of contrast enhancement may be converted into stereolithography format, maximum intensity projection (MIP) images, and/or orthographic projection images. Data corresponding to these resulting 3D region of contrast enhancement images may be used to create 3D printed models of the isolated region of contrast enhancement using 3D printing technology.
