  • Publication number: 20190357778
    Abstract: Embodiments for assessing flow at an anatomical region of interest are disclosed. One embodiment uses pulsed contrast media injections at a known frequency along with corresponding image data to derive a measurement of blood flow velocity at the region of interest. Another embodiment uses incremental changes in known contrast media injection flow rates to match the blood flow rate relative to one of these known contrast media injection flow rates based on the presence of a particular indicia in image data. For example, this indicia can be the flow of contrast media out from a coronary artery back into the aorta or the onset of a steady state pixel density. A further embodiment uses contrast media injections that are synchronized with the cardiac cycle. For example, contrast media injections can be synchronized with the diastolic and/or systolic phases and used to measure blood flow accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20190320911
    Abstract: One method for assessing a vessel can include obtaining a set of first location pressure measurements at a first location in the vessel over a first time period and a set of second location pressure measurements at a second location in the vessel over the first time period. This method can further include identifying a first leading characteristic associated with one or more pressure measurements in the set of first location pressure measurements, a second leading characteristic associated with one or more pressure measurements in the set of second location pressure measurements, a first trailing characteristic associated with one or more pressure measurements in the set of first location pressure measurements, and a second trailing characteristic associated with one or more pressure measurements in the set of second location pressure measurements. And, this method can include calculating a pressure ratio using pressure measurements between the identified characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10185058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to protection films comprising an optical film suitably sized for an illuminated display device, the optical film having perimeter surface portions defining a central region. The protection film further comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive layer at the perimeter surface portions of the optical film. The optical film and/or pressure sensitive adhesive layer has been adapted such that the at least the central region of the optical film contacts the illuminated display device or the central region of the optical film is bonded to the illuminated display device by means of a self-wetting layer. The protection film may be preassembled or may be provided as a kit, the kit comprising an optical film and a double-faced pressure sensitive tape.
