  • SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR NON-INVASIVE HEMATOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS
    Publication number: 20220254024
    Abstract: A system for non-invasive hematological measurements includes a platform to receive a body portion of a user and an imaging device to acquire a set of images of a capillary bed in the body portion. For each image, a controller detects one or more capillaries in the body portion of the finger to identify a first set of capillaries by estimating one or more attributes of each capillary (e.g., structural attributes, flow attributes, imaging attributes, or combinations thereof), wherein at least one attribute of each capillary meets a predetermined criterion. The controller also identifies a second set of capillaries from the first set of capillaries such that each capillary of the second set of capillaries is visible in a predetermined number of images of the set of images.

  • Method and system for determining the prognosis of a patient suffering from pulmonary embolism
    Patent number: 9905002
    Abstract: A system for determining the prognosis of a patient suffering from pulmonary embolism is provided. The system may include at least one computer system configure to receive patient specific data regarding his pulmonary embolism status. The at least one computer system may be further configured to create a model of the patient's heart, with at least information of the two ventricles, and to determine the ratio of sizes of the ventricles. The system will then report such ratio to the clinician or report a risk index of clinical outcome for such patient.
