Abstract: A method of analyzing a medical image includes acquiring a correction parameter computed based on a correlation between a first morphological value that is acquired from a first medical image acquired under a first scan condition and is related to a target element, and a second morphological value that is acquired from a second medical image acquired under a second scan condition and is related to the target element. A target medical image is acquired under the second scan condition. A target region related to the target element is acquired by segmenting the target medical image into regions corresponding to elements including the target element. A target morphological value related to the target element is based on voxel data corresponding to the target region. A corrected morphological value is based on the target morphological value and the correction parameter. A morphological index is outputted based on the corrected morphological value.

Abstract: A method and system for connecting a power tool with a mobile device. The mobile device receives a user request to connect to a power tool and transmits a short-range advertisement. The power tool receives the short-range advertisement and transmits a signal. The mobile device receives the signal from the power tool and determines a signal strength. The mobile device compares the signal strength to a predetermined signal strength value. When the signal strength value exceeds the predetermined signal strength value, the mobile device connects with the power tool.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for controlling a medical instrument are discussed herein. For example, image data can be received from a first instrument that is configured to access an anatomical site via a first access path. The image data can be representative of the anatomical site and a second instrument that is configured to access the anatomical site via a second access path. A visual representation of the image data can be displayed in a user interface and a first directional input signal can be received from an input device. An orientation of the first instrument relative to the second instrument can be determined. Movement of the second instrument can be controlled based at least in part on the first directional input signal and the orientation of the first instrument relative to the second instrument.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for use in characterizing lesions in radiology images, comprising performing a computer-based analysis of a pathology image of a sample of a lesion of a subject in order to recognize tissue and/or cellular characteristics of the lesion, wherein the analysis produces a derived pathology image that represents the recognized tissue and/or cellular characteristics, computing one or more radiology features for the lesion from a radiology image of the lesion, and determining correlations between the computed one or more radiology features and the recognized tissue and/or cellular characteristics. With this method, biological ground truth information can be used to identify radiology features that are indicative of certain tissue and/or cellular characteristics of lesions and that may therefore be better suited for characterizing the lesions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for the contact-free analysis of changes to skin color in living organisms, in particular in humans. Images of a skin region to be examined are recorded by means of one or more cameras and are then analyzed, in digital form, by a computer unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are a test instrument and testing methods for audibly providing signal metrics (such as signal strength and/or signal quality) of fifth-generation network (5G) beams to assist installation of 5G Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) antenna at a premises. A test instrument may obtain signal metrics and provide audio output based on the signal metrics at various locations of the premises. The audio output may be transmitted to a headphone device worn by a user or a speaker. In this manner, the user may select an appropriate location on the premises at which to install the 5G CPE antenna via audible queues that are based on the measured signal metric at a given location. The test instrument may provide fine-tuning capabilities by also audibly providing directional information that indicates where the 5G CPE antenna should be pointed or moved to align the 5G CPE antenna to a 5G beam.
