Abstract: A probability map of prostate tumor location is generated and displayed in response to receiving anatomic diagnostic medical imaging, such as from magnetic resonance (MR) scanning. A registration process is performed on the images in relation to a model built of prostate anatomy across different subjects in an enhanced prostate template. A probability map is created of tumor locations followed by transforming the imaging to incorporate the probability map and output a resultant image.

Abstract: A method for tissue classification includes receiving at least two images associated with a patient, the at least two images being of an anatomical region or tissue. The method also includes identifying a region of interest in the at least two images, analyzing the region of interest to identify changes in the tissue and generating a probability map of the region of interest based on the changes in the tissue. The probability map indicates a likelihood of formation of cancer in the tissue within a predetermined time period. The method also includes displaying the probability map on a display.

Abstract: A system is disclosed using a data-driven approach to objectively measure the diagnostic accuracy and value of diagnostic imaging reports using data captured routinely as part of the electronic health record. The system further utilizes the evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of individual radiologists (imagers), subspecialty sections, modalities, and entire departments based on a comparison against a “precision diagnosis” rendered by other clinical data sources such as pathology, surgery, laboratory tests, etc.

Abstract: A coaxial stent system is described in which an inner treatment stent is configured to be coaxially positioned inside an outer anchoring stent. The outer anchoring stent is adapted for insertion into a blood vessel and anchoring to the blood vessel at a position where the outer anchoring stent spans a neck of an aneurysm. A method for endovascular treatment of aneurysms is also described.

Abstract: A system for attenuating noise which can be sensed by the auditory nerve comprising a microphone positioned in a first sound region for sensing noise present in the first sound region for creating a first electrical signal having a frequency and amplitude corresponding to the noise sensed in the first sound region. Circuitry is provided for processing the first electrical signal to create a second electrical signal having the same frequency but of opposite amplitude and sign of the first electrical signal. A speaker is provided for converting the second electrical signal to anti-noise for attenuation of the sensed noise in a second sound region spaced from the first sound region. A microphone is disposed in the second sound region for detecting any noise above a predetermined noise level in the second sound region to provide an error correction signal.

Abstract: System for use by a caller and a recipient of a telephone call for suppressing environmental noise in the vicinity of a telephone comprising a telephone handset forming a part of the telephone. The telephone handset has a human voice sensor for picking up human sounds generally in one direction, and creating a first electrical signal. A speaker capable of producing substantially directional human voice sounds is provided. A second sound sensor is carried by the handset and has sound pick-up capabilities from a direction which is generally opposite said one direction for picking up external environmental noise in the vicinity of the handset and producing a second electrical signal having a frequency and amplitude.
