There is provided a system and method for recommending a treatment of a vessel. The system is for use in conjunction with an intravascular imaging system which obtains images of the vessel and measures the position of each image along a longitudinal length of the vessel. The system comprises a processor adapted to receive a plurality of intravascular images of the vessel and respective positions along the vessel, determine, from the images, a cross sectional area of a section of the vessel at a plurality of positions along the vessel, determine, from the images and the respective position of the images along the vessel, a flow resistance of the vessel, and output a treatment recommendation based on the cross sectional area of the vessel and the flow resistance of the vessel.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN SONOGRAPH USERS AND RADIOGRAPH INTERPRETERS
A method (100) for providing information to a sonograph user, including providing (130) a sonogram atlas comprising one or more sonogram preferences of each of a number of different radiograph interpreters, the sonogram preferences comprising at least one of a preferred view and a measurement for each of a number of sonogram types, receiving (140) a request for information from the sonogram atlas about a sonogram being obtained by a sonograph user from a patient, wherein the request comprises one or more of demographic information about the patient, a type of exam, a reason for imaging, an identification of which of the number of different radiograph interpreters ordered the sonogram, and an identification of which of the one or more sonogram types was ordered by the identified radiograph interpreter(s) retrieving (150) the one or more sonogram preferences of the identified radiograph interpreter(s).
A method and system are provided for estimating the respiration rate of a subject using a wearable instant heart rate monitor. The method includes receiving data indicating heart rates of the subject from the instant heart rate monitor; determining beat annotations of the heart rates from the received data; filtering the beat annotations to remove outlier instant heart rates from the heart rate; determining an IBI series from filtered beat annotations; determining power spectrum density of the determined IBI series; inputting the power spectrum density, a lower bound estimation of the respiration rate and an upper bound estimation of the respiration rate to a respiratory rate estimation algorithm; determining peak energy and maximum frequency energy of the power spectrum density using the respiratory rate estimation algorithm; and outputting an estimated respiration frequency by fusing the peak energy and the maximum frequency energy using the respiratory rate estimation algorithm.
Provided herein are systems and methods of quantifying B-lines and merged B-lines in lung ultrasound images that improve upon the efficiency and accuracy of detecting such B-lines and merged B-lines, thereby facilitating the use of this imaging modality in additional point-of- care settings such as emergency medicine and critical care settings. The systems described herein include an ultrasound imaging device and an electronic device in communication with the ultrasound imaging device that is configured to analyze one or more lung ultrasound video loops using a trained B-line classifier and a trained merged B-line classifier. In particular aspects, the one or more ultrasound video loops may be analyzed at two or more spatial resolution scales to extract the B-line image features that are used by the B-line and merged B-line classifiers to predict a likelihood that a B-line candidate is either a B-line or a merged B-line.
A non-transitory computer readable medium (16) stores instructions readable and executable by at least one electronic processor (14) to perform a method of reducing a burden of false positive information technology (IT) vulnerability alerts on a servicing handling system (1). The method includes identifying a service request (11) received by the service handling system as a monitoring tool-sourced IT vulnerability alert for a medical device (10) that is generated by an IT vulnerability monitoring tool operating to monitor an IT network to which the medical device is connected; implementing a remediation process for the monitoring tool-sourced vulnerability alert; repeating the identifying and implementing to accumulate statistics on monitoring tool-sourced vulnerability alerts; and outputting an indication (26) if the statistics indicate the monitoring tool-sourced vulnerability alerts are imposing an unacceptable burden on the service handling system.
G06F 21/57 - Certifying or maintaining trusted computer platforms, e.g. secure boots or power-downs, version controls, system software checks, secure updates or assessing vulnerabilities
