  • Publication number: 20240041330
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of facilitating diagnosing of a vasculature disorder using intravascular imaging, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the method may include a step of generating, using an intravascular imaging device, at least one intravascular image associated with a patient. Further, the method may include a step of analyzing, using a processing device, the at least one intravascular image. Further, the method may include a step of determining, using the processing device, at least one vein diagnosis based on the analyzing. Further, the method may include a step of displaying, using a display device, the at least one vein diagnosis. Further, the method may include a step of storing, using a storage device, the at least one vein diagnosis and the at least one intravascular image associated with the at least one vein diagnosis in a database.

  • Patent number: 10090587
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for elastomeric and flexible cables. One cable includes a first insulator extruded as a tube. The cable also includes an elastomeric conductor comprising conductive particles embedded in a polymer. The elastomeric conductor is extruded with the elastomeric insulator through a conduit of the tube. Other cables include flexible wires extruded with elastomeric tubes. In some embodiments, the cables are configured with stay cords that limit a length of stretching in the cable.

  • Publication number: 20070133751
    Abstract: A portable X-Ray system that includes a first module with an x-ray processor, an input, a monitor, a power supply, an exterior interface, and a sensor panel, the sensor panel being operatively connected in data transfer communication with the x-ray processor by a first connector. The first connector permits the sensor panel to be disposed in spaced apart adjustable position relative to the x-ray processor and a subject to be x-rayed. The first module can be adjusted into a portable stored configuration and an operative configuration, and further includes a shock absorbent element structured to protect the sensor panel, the x-ray processor and the monitor from impacts when in the stored configuration. The system further includes a second module having an x-ray generator that can be disposed between a stored configuration and an operative configuration. A shock absorbent element is provided in the second module to protect the x-ray generator from impacts when the second module is in the stored configuration.
