20090124863 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECORDING PATIENT-STATUS - A method and system for recording patient status automatically is disclosed herein. The method of recording patient-status comprises: monitoring the gestures of a patient continuously using a video imager. From the monitored gestures a patient-status corresponding to at least one clinical factor is identified and the patient-status is automatically recorded in an electronic medical record (EMR). The method and system describes an exemplary embodiment of determining pain level of a patient in a clinical environment using facial expressions and sound. | 05-14-2009 |
20090138280 | MULTI-STEPPED DEFAULT DISPLAY PROTOCOLS - A multi-stepped default display protocol for diagnostic image review may be implemented using a computer readable medium coupled to a computer which is in turn coupled to a graphical display. The multi-stepped default display protocol may be stored on the computer readable medium from which the computer may read the multi-stepped default display protocol and display diagnostic images on the graphical display in accordance. The graphical display may present the diagnostic images according to the multi-stepped default display protocol by projecting a first display of medical information, providing an indication of at least one alternative display of medical information, receiving a selection of alternative medical information, and projecting the selected alternative display medical information. | 05-28-2009 |
20090160854 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATING THREE-DIMENSIONAL AND TWO-DIMENSIONAL MONITORS WITH MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING WORKSTATIONS - A system and method for utilizing a spatial three-dimensional display unit with a medical diagnostic imaging system is disclosed. The medical diagnostic imaging system may be a picture archival communication system. The system may include at least one two-dimensional display unit and an additional spatial three-dimensional display unit. Accordingly a user may view two and three-dimensional images of similar anatomical objects. The two and three-dimensional images may be linked, providing the user with a consistent viewing angle. The system may be used to review a surgical path. The display parameters of a first three-dimensional data set may be mapped to a second three-dimensional data set. The surgical path of the first data set and the second data set may be displayed on spatial display units. Accordingly, the anatomical objects along the surgical path may be viewed at different points in time, for example prior to surgery and after surgery. | 06-25-2009 |
20090196479 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPUTER-AIDED DIAGNOSIS FILTERED PRIORITIZED WORK ITEM LIST - Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for prioritizing medical imaging scans. An image acquisition device, such as a computerized tomography (CT) system, an ultrasound system, an electron beam tomography (EBT) system, a magnetic resonance (MR) system and the like, generates medical imaging scans. A computer aided diagnosis application manager may be used to select a computer aided diagnosis application based on information associated with an imaging scan. The imaging scan may be examined with the computer aided diagnosis application. If the examination of the imaging scan indicates the imaging scan contains urgent findings, the imaging scan may be identified as priority. The indication of the imaging scan as priority may be communicated to a physician so the physician may review the priority imaging scan before non-priority imaging scans. | 08-06-2009 |
20090259113 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING PAIN LEVEL - A system and method for determining pain level is disclosed herein. The method comprises: monitoring the gestures of a patient continuously using a video imager. From the monitored gestures a patient-status corresponding to at least one clinical factor is identified and the patient-status is automatically recorded in an electronic medical record (EMR). The method and system describes an exemplary embodiment of determining pain level of a patient in a clinical environment using facial expressions and sound. | 10-15-2009 |
20100076780 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ORGANIZE PATIENT MEDICAL HISTORIES - Methods and apparatus to organize patient medical histories are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a medical report and analyzing the medical report to extract information related to a clinical event associated with the medical report; assigning a classification to the medical report using the extracted information; determining a severity of the clinical event associated with the medical report using the extracted information and assigning a severity score to the medical report; updating a record corresponding to the medical report in a data store to reflect the assigned classification and severity score; and enabling a healthcare practitioner to query the data store using the classification and severity score. | 03-25-2010 |
