A61B 18/18
A61B 1/00
A61B 19/00

US Classification:

606 11, 600101, 128898

Abstract:

A tissue ablation device employs one or more energy emitters () and one or more photoacoustic sensors () in a cooperative arrangement for applying a tissue ablation therapy to a tissue (). In operation, the energy emitters () emit a tissue ablation beam (TA) into a target portion of the tissue () to form a lesion () therein, and alternatively or concurrently emit a photoexcitation beam (PE) into the target portion of the tissue () to excite a photoacoustic response from the tissue (). The photoacoustic sensor(s) () sense the photoacoustic response of the tissue ().

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00
G06F 3/14

US Classification:

705 1449, 715234

Abstract:

A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer program product for processing one or more webpage images included within a webpage to identify one or more advertisement-compatible target images. An advertisement-compatible target image, chosen from the one or more advertisement-compatible target images, is analyzed to associate the advertisement-compatible target image with one or more advertisement categories. An advertisement overlay is generated for the advertisement-compatible target image. The advertisement overlay is associated with at least one of the one or more advertisement categories. The webpage is modified to render the advertisement overlay on top of the advertisement-compatible target image.

International Classification:

A61B 5/05

US Classification:

600424

Abstract:

A tracking system for a target anatomy of a patient can include a medical device having a magnetic source () integrally connected thereto and positionable in the target anatomy, a plurality of Optical Atomic Magnetometer (OAM) sensors () for detecting a magnetic field from the magnetic source, and a processor () for determining a position of the medical device based on one or more parameters associated with the detected magnetic field. Other embodiments can include connecting a magnetic source with the medical device and having the OAM sensors positionable in proximity to the target anatomy.

International Classification:

A61B 5/055

US Classification:

600411, 600424

Abstract:

A calibration/surgical tool () includes an electromagnetic sensor array () of two or more electromagnetic sensors in a known geometrical configuration. Electromagnetic tracking errors are characterized by a mapping of pre-operative absolute and relative errors based on a movement of a calibrated calibration/surgical tool () through a pre-operative electromagnetic field. Using statistical mapping, a desired absolute error field () is measured either in the clinic as the part of daily quality control checks, or before the patient comes in or in vivo. A resulting error field () may be displayed to the physician to provide clear visual feedback about measurement confidence or reliability of localization estimates of the absolute errors in electromagnetic tracking.

International Classification:

A61M 25/09

US Classification:

604510, 604528

Abstract:

An optical guidewire system employs an optical guidewire (), an optical guidewire controller (), a guide interface () and an optical connector (). The optical guidewire () is for advancing a catheter () to a target region relative to a distal end of the optical guidewire (), wherein the optical guidewire () includes one or more guidewire fiber cores () for generating an encoded optical signal () indicative of a shape of the optical guidewire (). The optical guidewire controller () is responsive to the encoded optical signal () for reconstructing the shape of the optical guidewire (). The guidewire interface () includes one or more interface fiber core(s) () optically coupled to the optical guidewire controller (). The optical connector () facilitates a connection, disconnection and reconnection of the optical guidewire () to the guidewire interface () that enables a backloading the catheter () on the optical guidewire ().
