Abstract: A computerized method for detecting a core temperature of a person, the method may include: receiving multiple temperature readings obtained by scanning a temperature sensor across a skin area of a person, the skin area covers at least one blood vessel, to provide multiple temperature readings; the multiple temperature readings include a peak temperature reading; and determining, by a processor, an estimate of the core temperature of the person in response to at least one temperature reading that differs from the peak temperature reading.

Abstract: A method for monitoring blood vessels, the method including using a system for monitoring blood vessel functionality to look, listen and feel blood vessel functionality by imaging a patient's body to obtain blood vessel geometry, imaging a patient body to obtain a shape of a location of the patient's body using image analysis, and analyzing vibrations of the patient's body at a location of the patient's body which includes the blood vessels. A method for monitoring blood vessel functionality, the method including illuminating one or more blood vessels through a patient's skin, capturing at least one image of the blood vessels, analyzing the at least one image, and calculating a parameter associated with blood vessel functionality based upon the image analysis. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

A method for replacing a physical examination performed by medical staff for monitoring blood vessel functionality in dialysis patients, the method including producing at least one image of a patient organ instead of manually manipulating the patient's organ, analyzing the at least one image, and classifying the patient's status to be one of suitable for dialysis or at risk for dialysis. Related apparatus and methods are also described.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detecting and identifying pathologies in a magnified captured image. The method comprising the step of: performing macro image analysis for identifying abnormal and normal segments of the captured image, performing conversion of colored images to gray scale image, performing segmentation of the gray scale colored biopsy by applying two segmentation levels, merging the image results of the coarse level and the fine level segmentations by expanding the coarse image to fit scale of the fine image and identifying pixels having the same value at both levels, performing comparison between object's properties and characteristics appearing in abnormal segments and object's properties and characteristics appearing in normal segments, and calculating the deviations of each property between the abnormal segments and the normal segments and ranking objects based on the calculated deviations of each property and characteristic.

Abstract: A histological system includes: a database, comprising histological images and quantitative information regarding diagnostically relevant features of histological samples; an inspection procedure for the examination of a suspected object; and analysis tools for comparison of the locally obtained data to those stored in the database and for applying classification algorithms based on heuristically derived histological diagnoses.
