Abstract:

Methods and devices for optimizing classification tree evaluation for online and real-time characterization of tissue by using GPUs are disclosed that give a significant improvement in run time compared to data decomposition. The methods and devices use a parallel algorithm designed for single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) architectures commonly found in GPUs. Various optimizations and their effects are also disclosed.

International Classification:

G16H 40/60

Abstract:

Generally, the present disclosure is directed to managing shared resources in a multi-modality medical system. A multi-modality medical system acquires, stores, processes, and displays data associated with a plurality of different medical modalities. Although different, independent modules within the medical system handle different modality workflows, such modules rely on common resources in the system. The method and systems described herein coordinate usage of the common resources, such as a display viewport, among the independent modality modules. For example, a token-based, locking scheme is utilized to exclusively assign a shared resource to a single modality component. This locking scheme prevents, for example, resource deadlocks from occurring during a patient procedure, thus enhancing patient safety. This scheme also ensures, for example, that one diagnostic step in a patient procedure is completed before a second diagnostic step is started, and that all workflow operations halt in the event of an error.

Abstract:

Devices, systems, and methods for reconditioning an intravascular device for reuse are provided. The method includes reading first security data from a memory of the intravascular device; determining if the intravascular device is authentic; generating second security data, when the intravascular device is authentic; and writing the second security data to the memory of the intravascular device. Devices, systems, and methods for authenticating an intravascular device for use are also provided. The method includes bringing an intravascular device into communication with a computing device, the intravascular device including a memory; determining if first security data is authentic; determining, when the first security data is authentic, if the intravascular device has been reconditioned; determining, when the intravascular device has been reconditioned, if the second security data is authentic base; and permitting, when second security data is authentic, use of the intravascular device in the clinical procedure.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

705 2

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a medical resource scheduling method. The method includes creating first and second virtual machines associated with respective first and second procedure rooms, the first and second virtual machines executing within a computing system, and the computing system having computing resources. The method also includes receiving a procedure request identifying a first procedure to be performed in the first procedure room during a first time slot and determining a first amount of the computing resources necessary to process medical data generated by the first procedure. Further, the method includes determining whether the first amount of the computing resources is less than an unreserved amount of the computing resources available during the first time slot and, if the first amount of the computing resources is less than the unreserved amount, reserving the first amount of the computing resources for the first time slot.

Abstract:

Generally, the present disclosure is directed to managing and storing patient data in a multi-modality medical processing system. The method and systems described herein store all medical data acquired from a patient in a single patient record that is assigned a unique identifier. For example, (i) information identifying a patient, (ii) data acquired during a first diagnostic procedure, and (iii) data acquired during a second, different diagnostic procedure may all be stored in association with the same unique identifier, so as to simplify patient case review and retrieval. As an aspect of this, identifying patient information such as patient name and date of birth need only be inputted into the disclosed system a single time, thereby reducing the chance of clerical error.
