Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating images of a portion of a subject including an organ receiving blood from multiple, different supplies. The method includes accessing MR data acquired from a subject having received a dose of a material configured to change MR contrast. The method also includes reconstructing the MR dataset into a first set of MR images using a first reconstruction process configured to weight the first set of MR images to the material configured to change the MR contrast and reconstructing the MR dataset into a second set of MR images using a second reconstruction process configured to weight the second set of MR images against the material configured to change the MR contrast. The method further includes displaying the first set of MR images and the second set of MR images to selectively display blood flow from each of the multiple, different supplies.

Abstract: A hand shield may be installed onto an ultrasound probe to protect the operator from needle sticks. The transparent shield may be a disposable, sterilized film attachable to a frame which, when securely attached to the frame, blocks the needle from accidentally contacting and sticking the operator's hand during needle insertion. The shape and size of the frame avoids interference with the operator's hand and maintains normal operation of the ultrasound probe, thus recognizing the need for the angle of insonation (i.e., angle of the ultrasound beam relative to the tissue or organ of interest) to be adjusted and the ultrasound probe to be pressed into the tissue.

Abstract: An underwater generator for generating electricity including: a casing, a turbine propeller assembly configured within the casing; a platform, where the platform provides a mechanism to hold the casing; a cover member, where the cover member protects the turbine propeller assembly; and a power cable for transmitting electrical energy from the underwater generator to a user thereof. The casing may include a slit at a bottom portion, where the slit allows the removal of sediments, sand particles and similar materials. The turbine propeller assembly includes a plurality of blades. In one exemplary embodiment, the blades may turn in two directions.

Abstract: A support for sonographers provides a path of force transmission from an ultrasound probe to the sonographer's upper arm bypassing the wrist, and thus reducing wrist injuries that can come from the need to tightly grip and restrain an ultrasound probe for long periods of time.

Abstract: A cuff fitting around an ultrasonic probe provides a shelf that may receive forces from the sonographer's fingers without requiring increased gripping by the sonographer.
