Abstract: A method of estimating cerebral blood flow by analyzing IPG and PPG signals of the head, the method comprising: a) finding a maximum slope or most negative slope or the IPG signal, within at least a portion of the cardiac cycle; b) finding a maximum slope or most negative slope of the PPG signal, within at least a portion of the cardiac cycle; c) finding a ratio of the maximum or most negative slope of the IPG signal to the maximum or most negative slope of the PPG signal; and d) calculating a cerebral blood flow indicator from the ratio.

Abstract: A method of estimating cerebral blood flow includes obtaining a measure of time-varying blood volume in the head, using an impedance plethysmography (102 and 104), obtaining a measure of time-varying blood volume in the scalp, and using the time-varying blood volume in the head and scalp to estimate cerebral blood flow.

Abstract: An interactive system for obtaining data for diagnostic purposes from a server having access to stores of said data wherein the server supplies the data and software to a data requesting user that enables the user to receive the data progressively so as to decide during the receipt of the data what portions of the data are to be received thereby decreasing the time required to receive the data and that enables the user to load the software to process the supplied data.

Abstract: An interactive method for allowing a user to obtain image data for diagnostic purposes from a server having access to stored data, comprising: connecting a user's computer to the server over a communication network; receiving from the server image reconstruction software for the user's computer; requesting specific image data for transmission from the server to the user's computer; progressively transmitting the requested specific image data over the network from the server to user's computer; and repeatedly reconstructing diagnostic quality images, from the progressively received image data, at different quality levels, using the reconstruction software on the user's computer.
