Appl. No.:

13/700496

Inventors:

Steffen Gunther Wiesner - Koeln, NL
Matthias Bertram - Aachen, NL
Ming De Lin - Perry Hall MD, US

Assignee:

KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V. - EINDHOVEN

International Classification:

A61B 5/00

US Classification:

382128

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a device () for automatically quantifying intravascular embolization success, comprising a registration unit () adapted for registering a first image and a second image, a segmentation unit () adapted for segmenting a tissue of interest in the first image and in the second image and an evaluation unit () for evaluating a deviation of perfusion of the tissue of interest by comparing the first image and the second image. The first image is obtained before an interventional treatment, whereas the second image is obtained after such a treatment. Evaluating may comprise comparing the segments of the first and the second images and thus providing a quantitative measure for a perfusion deviation of the tissue, e.g. the perfusion deviation of a tumorous tissue before and after an embolization treatment.

Abstract:

A method of communicating data in a Bluetooth™ low energy (BLE) module is provided. The method includes modulating an outbound communication signal into a modulated signal with a particular modulation scheme based on a modulation type, and transmitting the modulated signal to a remote device via a wireless communication connection associated with the modulation type. The method also includes receiving an inbound radio frequency (RF) signal, determining if the inbound RF signal is associated with a modulation type, and demodulating the inbound RF signal with a particular modulation scheme based on the modulation type if the inbound RF signal is determined to be associated with a modulation type. In some aspects, the inbound RF signal and outbound modulated signal have symbol rates of 2 Megasymbols per second. In some implementations, the method includes switching between a legacy BLE system and an enhanced rate BLE system.
