  • Publication number: 20240045004
    Abstract: Systems and methods for projecting an image onto an interior surface of an MRI machine includes projection through a waveguide and image adjustment. The projector is generally placed within an RF-protective box and spaced from the MRI machine. The projector emits a light and image projection through the waveguide, which travels into a fold minor lens located within the MRI bore, which then redirects the image onto the inside of the bore.

  • Publication number: 20240042076
    Abstract: A sanitization system includes a plurality of light distribution hubs spaced along a longitudinal frame. Each hub includes a plurality of light emitting modules (e.g., LED chip-on-board) configured to deliver a predetermined type of light (e.g, UVC) to a target surface for a variable or predetermined amount of time at a variable or predetermined intensity to at least partially disinfect and/or sanitize the target surface. The target surface may be an interior surface of a medical imaging device, such as an inwardly facing bore surface and/or patient support surface of an MRI or CT scanner.

  • Publication number: 20190121597
    Abstract: A system includes a video display panel (VDP). The VDP further comprises a plurality of light-emitting structures. The system further includes a T-support structure for a suspended ceiling; the T-support structure is to receive the VDP. Finally, a riser may be disposed between the VDP and the T-support structure, such that the riser is sized to receive the VDP and hold the VDP substantially flush with the T-support structure.

  • Patent number: 10226179
    Abstract: A method, system and software product are provided such that a patient in an MRI suite can select and enjoy personalized lighting, music, images and video with a touch screen for a program that is displayed on a system interactive digital unit or device. A wide and advanced variety of pre-programmed themes can be provided with the system, as is the option of creating customized content by the healthcare provider. Image panels help to “transport” the patient “away” from the confining space in the magnet bore of the MRI scanner, moving the patient's focus from the scanner to his or her surroundings. A ceiling image panel displays images of the patient's choice. Patients can also “dock” their own electronic device to enjoy their own audio visual content. The lighting of the suite can be returned to normal lighting when required and then back to the patient's original selections.

  • Patent number: 8449169
    Abstract: An LED replacement light bulb for use in a standard AC light bulb socket is provided. The light bulb includes a body, a heat sink portion and an end cap arranged to receive DC electrical current from the AC light bulb socket where the AC electrical system has been converted to a DC electrical system. The LED replacement bulb includes a base and wires connecting the base to a plurality of LEDs or to an LED board. A quick disconnect is disposed between the base and the plurality of LEDS or the LED board to allow for easy removal and replacement of the LEDs or of the LED board. In one preferred embodiment, a lens cover is provided with stand-off legs to avoid metal to metal contact between the bulb and its surrounding lighting fixture.

  • Patent number: 8087203
    Abstract: A waveguide for a radio frequency door like that used in a medical imaging room allows intravenous lines and electrical conduits to be inserted through the door frame without being disconnected from the patient. The waveguide includes a door frame section, and a removable, telescoping or pivoting movable member that cooperates with the door frame section to retain the conduits. The movable member is positioned away from the door frame section during insertion and removal of the conduits from the door frame section, and is positioned adjacent the door frame section when the conduits are being retained. The dimensions and materials of the waveguide are selected to achieve attenuation of electromagnetic interference.

  • Patent number: 7819139
    Abstract: A flow liner includes a flexible conduit having a first end and a second end. A gasket has an outside diameter and an aperture. A first portion of the first end is positioned to extend through the aperture and fold around the outside diameter such that a folded over portion of the first portion is in contact with the outer surface of the flexible conduit to define a seal therebetween.

  • Patent number: 7497130
    Abstract: A flow meter assembly includes a flow meter including a tube through which a fluid flows. The flow meter is operable to measure the amount of fluid flowing through the tube. A liner is positioned within the tube and is removably coupled with the tube such that fluid flowing through the tube flows through the liner without contacting an inner surface of the tube.
