Abstract: The system and method of integrated unique identity management by generating a unique person identifier using the person's personal information combined with person's biometric data. The unique person identifier serves as a special patient tag with universal abilities allowing for the person's identity to be managed across various data sources.

Abstract: The method of preventing pharmaceutical fraud using a system of integrated unique identity management by generating a unique person identifier and using this unique person identifier to correspond with a governing entity for authorization to issue a prescription for a controlled substance. The authorization is only issued if no conflicts are found. The unique person identifier serves as a special patient tag with universal abilities allowing for the person's identity to be managed across various data sources, thus preventing the person from obtaining multiple or unauthorized prescriptions.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of integrated person or patient unique identity management based on unique body parts and special patient tag with universal abilities managing patient identity across data sources.

Abstract: A method for precisely identifying a fixed point of reference on a human jaw including providing a mandibular c-clamp, which has a shaft, an upper prong fixedly connected to the shaft, a lower prong movable along the shaft, and a wedge configured to selectively secure the lower prong to the shaft. The upper prong of the mandibular c-clamp is inserted into a patient's mouth. The lower prong of the mandibular c-clamp is then moved along the shaft to close on a patient's chin compressing patient's soft tissue, and a position of the lower prong is secured on the shaft using the wedge so that the lower prong is no longer movable along the shaft. A sensor is then secured to a designated area of the mandibular c-clamp so as to provide a reference point.

Abstract: A method for continuously evaluating an X-ray unit. The method includes placing an X-ray sensor converter having a photo diode and a scintillation crystal in a path of an X-ray beam emitted by the X-ray unit, using the X-ray sensor converter to convert an X-ray beam energy into an electric signal, providing an amplifier connected to the X-ray sensor converter, conveying the electric signal from the X-ray sensor converter to the amplifier, amplifying the electric signal with the amplifier, and measuring a spectrum of the X-ray tube energy by continuously sampling and quantifying the amplified electric signal.

Abstract: A method for performing a stereotactic brain surgery. The method includes first interposing a left and a right anthropological baselines on a patient's face, each trago-orbital anthropological baseline connecting an orbitale point and an auricular point on a corresponding side of the patient's face. A headgear unit having a pair of temple elements and a front housing, where the front housing includes at least two cameras and a 3D compass, is then positioned on a patient's head. Each of the two cameras is adjusted such that its view field picks up one of the two trago-orbital anthropological baselines on the patient's face. These view fields of the two cameras are then used to construct a Human Skull Base Plane as a plane formed by the left and right anthropological baselines when these anthropological baselines are parallel and aligned.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a three-dimensional orientation of a human head. The method includes first interposing a left and a right anthropological baselines on a patient's face, each anthropological baseline connecting an orbitale point and an auricular point on a corresponding side of the patient's face. A headgear unit having a pair of temple elements and a from housing rotatably attached to the temple elements, where the front housing includes at least two cameras and a 3D compass all movable within the front housing, is then positioned on a patient's head. Each of the two cameras is adjusted such that its view field picks up one of the two anthropological baselines on the patient's face. These view fields of the two cameras are then used to construct a Human Skull Base Plane as a plane formed by the left and right anthropological baselines when these anthropological baselines are parallel and aligned.

Abstract: An X-ray system including an X-ray source generating X-rays, an X-ray receptor receiving the X-rays and generating X-ray images, a patient satellite and a server connected to the X-ray source, the X-ray receptor and the patient satellite. The patient satellite is secured to a patient positioned between the X-ray source and the X-ray receptor and includes an angular orientation sensor and a distance sensor. The angular orientation sensor detects an angular orientation of the patient and outputs a signal to an operator allowing the operator to position the patient with respect to the X-ray source and the X-ray receptor so as to eliminate an angular distortion in the X-ray images. The distance sensor measures a distance between the patient and the X-ray receptor.

Abstract: In a system for analyzing the spine of a patient, an X-ray is taken at one location, and the resulting X-ray image is transmitted to a remote location. At the remote location, the raw image is presented to a user who then selects some of the vertices of a polygon approximating the shape of the vertebrae in the X-ray. A processor is then used to calculate the position of the remaining vertices. The idealized shapes are then used to generate a report indicative of the spine. If necessary, a positioner is placed on the patient while the X-ray is taken and the image of the positioner is used to determine an angle of distortion of the vertebrae image and a scaling factor that can be used to determine the actual size of the vertebrae and the spatial spinal segmental relationship.
