Abstract: The present disclosure provides a medical system (100) comprising at least one data processing unit (111, 121, 130), a mechanical ventilator (110), configured to be operated to cause a ventilation status at a to-be-ventilated subject, and a medical imaging device (120), configured as a mobile device. The at least one data processing unit (111, 121, 130) is configured to obtain, from the mechanical ventilator (110), ventilation status information associated with the ventilation status of the to-be-ventilated subject. Further, the at least one data processing unit (111, 121, 130) is further configured to trigger acquisition of a first image if the ventilation status meets a first image acquisition criterion. Furthermore, the at least data processing unit (111, 121, 130) is further configured to trigger acquisition of at least one subsequent, further image if the ventilation status meets a second image acquisition criterion.

Abstract: There is provided a computer-implemented method of estimating lung volume from radiographic images. The method comprises: registering (102) a two dimensional radiographic image (12) of a patients chest to a three dimensional radiographic image (14) of the patients chest to estimate data describing projection geometry (16) of an imaging setup used to capture the two dimensional radiographic image; using the projection geometry to estimate (104) at least one radiographic magnification factor (18) relating to the imaging setup; and calculating (106) an estimated lung volume (20) using the two dimensional radiographic image and the at least one radiographic magnification factor.

Abstract: A barbecue assembly includes a barbecue unit supported by a barbecue stand. The barbecue stand has a main vertical support. A plurality of support members are provided at the top of the main vertical support, and serve to support the barbecue unit on top of the stand. A plurality of legs are connected to and extend out laterally from a lower portion of the main vertical support. Wheels are provided on some of the legs for moving the barbecue assembly from one location to another. The stand is configured and positioned in relation to the barbecue unit so that the overall unit can be easily wheeled around, is less susceptible to being tipped over, and does not take up too much floor space.
