Abstract: Various embodiments relate to methods and systems for displaying an ultrasound image of a patient's target body portion using a wearable display module. A wearable display module can be mounted on a user's head. A wearable display module can display ultrasound images as a heads up display so that a user can view an ultrasound image while maintaining lines of sight with other viewpoints. Various embodiments relate to methods and systems for displaying both an ultrasound image and a light image (e.g., a near infrared image). A single display can be configured to display the light image and the ultrasound image on a single surface, in close proximity, and at the same time or in sequence. This disclosure provides in some embodiments for the use of wireless communication between various imaging probes, sensors, image processors, and display modules in order to facilitate more effective viewing of images.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure relates to systems and methods for imaging a patient's vasculature. For example, near infrared (NIR) light can be used to illuminate a target area and light that is reflected or scattered from the target area can be used for generate an image of the target area. In some embodiments, the system can be configured such that the image shows the presence, absence, or extent of infiltration or extravasation in the target area. The system can be configured to document that presence, absence, or extend of infiltration or extravasation at an infusion site. In some embodiments, an imaging system can be mounted onto a patient so that the imaging system can monitor an infusion site, and the imaging system can be configured to automatically detect the presence of infiltration or extravasation.

Abstract: A system may include an imaging apparatus and an access device. The imaging apparatus may include a light source that emits at least light having one or more wavelengths in the range of about 700 nanometers to about 2,500 nanometers, a camera that is (a) sensitive to light having a wavelength in the range of about 700 nanometers to about 2,500 nanometers, and (b) so positioned relative to the light source as to receive light having a wavelength in the range of about 700 nanometers to about 2,500 nanometers that has been (i) emitted from the light source and (ii) reflected from a target, a processor that forms an image signal based at least in part upon signals indicative of the light having a wavelength in the range of about 700 nanometers to about 2,500 nanometers that is sensed by the camera, and a display screen so coupled to the processor as to receive the image signal and to display an image.
