Abstract: An acoustic wave device includes an insertion object having a photoacoustic wave generator, a light source that irradiates the photoacoustic wave generator with light, an insertion object image signal generator that generates an insertion object image signal from a photoacoustic wave reception signal from the photoacoustic wave generator, and an insertion object display image signal generator that generates an insertion object display image signal having a center at a peak position where a signal strength of the insertion object image signal becomes a peak value, having a maximum width corresponding to a predetermined reference signal width, and having a signal strength corresponding to the peak value at the center.
Abstract: Abnormalities in electromagnetic fields in the heart, brain, and stomach, among other organs and tissues of the human body, can be indicative of serious health conditions. Described herein are methods, software, systems and devices for detecting the presence of an abnormality in an organ or tissue of a subject by analysis of the electromagnetic fields generated by the organ or tissue.

Abstract: Systems and methods for medical imaging diagnoses are provided. The methods may include detecting an entrance of the scan platform into a scanning room by a signal emission device, moving the scan platform to a joint area according to connection interface of the medical imaging device by a driving device. The method may also include adjusting the scan platform to connect to the medical imaging device by a position adjusting device. The method may also include connecting the scan platform to the medical imaging device by a physical interface. The method may further include moving the scanning object to a scanning area of the medical imaging device by the driving device.
