Cancer care is increasingly more complicated due to increasing therapeutic options and is often difficult to access information critical to clinical decisions as a result of the frequency of new studies and decentralization of complex clinical evidence. Patient genomic and other clinical information is critical for making timely and accurate oncology and health care decisions is often in narrative text format scattered across multiple reports and IT systems. It is critical for treatment to encode clinical knowledge pertinent to clinical decision making in an easily accessible form. Discretized information in a digital patient file can assist in creating and selecting relevant therapies based on the body of medical and genomic testing history for a given patient. Discretized information is linked to a pathway execution engine and dynamically updated clinical trial matches. An authoring tool assists in creating pathways for the pathways execution engine to drive care through clinical decision trees.

A tissue analysis system and method process hyperspectral images to classify tissue types within the images. A presence or level of tissue oxygenation is estimated for each tissue type as well as a PPG perfusion. The estimated tissue oxygenation and PPG perfusion information are combined to provide a tissue status for each tissue type. The system and method uses remote PPG sensing.
A PPG imaging system and method processes images to derive remote PPG signals. Images of a region of interest are received, and landmarks are identified in each of a set of the images. For pairs of images of the set, the landmarks between first and second images of the pair are paired, and the second image is deformed to match the landmarks in that second image with the landmarks in the first image thereby providing motion compensation. A remote PPG signal is obtained from a set of the motion-compensated images.

A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TISSUE ANALYSIS USING REMOTE PPG
A PPG imaging system and method is provided for processing 3D images to derive remote PPG signals. A surface mesh of a region of interest is created from each of a set of the 3D images. The surface meshes are matched to each other using mesh transformations thereby providing motion compensation. A remote PPG signal is then obtained from each of a set of mesh locations of the matched surface meshes, thereby to derive a set of PPG signals. A perfusion map and/or a PPG delay map may be obtained from the set of PPG signals.
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system with distributed sensing capability, in which wireless devices cooperate with each other to perform a sensing handover by transferring sensing duties from a first wireless device to a second wireless device, so that multiple wireless devices can work together to sense a target in the overall range of interest.

In an ultrasound transducer array (T) having a plurality of transducer elements (TE) each having a respective field of view (FOV-1-FOV-5), the ultrasound transducer array (T) being capable of being positioned around an object having a curved surface (S) resulting in a convergence of the respective fields of view of the transducer elements (TE), the transducer elements (TE) are arranged, or capable of being arranged, on the ultrasound transducer array (T) in a manner opposite to a curvature of the curved surface (S) so as to counteract the convergence of the respective fields of view.
The invention relates to a magnetic resonance coil array (30) of a magnetic resonance system having a distributed cable routing realized by a self-compensated radiofrequency choke (10). The magnetic resonance coil array (30) comprises multiple magnetic resonance receive coils (32), an input-output unit (34), and multiple coaxial cables (14) interconnecting the magnetic resonance receive coils (32) with the input-output unit (34). The coaxial cable (14) comprises the self-compensated radiofrequency choke (10). The self-compensated radiofrequency choke (10) allows to replace conventional bulky resonant radiofrequency traps used in conventional magnetic resonance coil arrays and allows implementing the distributed cable routing. The self-compensated radiofrequency choke (10) comprises a choke housing (12) having a toroidal form and the coaxial cable (14), wherein the coaxial cable (14) is wound around the choke housing (12) in a self-compensated winding pattern. The self-compensated winding pattern provides compensation for a B1-excitation field of a magnetic resonance system and eliminates the need for the self-compensated radiofrequency choke (10) to be resonant to the B1-excitation field.

A hair dryer comprises a fan (F) for generating an air flow, and a drying chamber (HC) having a hair inlet (II) into which hair can be guided by the air flow. A cross-section of the drying chamber (HC) has a first dimension in a first direction, which first dimension is at least 5 times larger than a second dimension in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the first and second directions are perpendicular to a direction of the air flow. The drying chamber (HC) may be folded in that the drying chamber has a U-turn in the direction of the air flow. A first area of the cross-section of the drying chamber (HC) at the U-turn may be smaller than a second area of the cross-section in the middle between the hair inlet (II) and the U-turn. A hair inlet (II) of the drying chamber (HC) may be shaped to follow a contour of a user's head. The hair dryer may be arranged for heating hair from multiple sides. A wall of the drying chamber (HC) may be provided with a hydrophilic or water absorbing or water surface tension reducing material. The water absorbing material may be regenerated by means of hot air. The drying chamber (HC) may be openable, whereby the drying chamber can be cleaned. The hair dryer may have a sensor (MS) for sensing temperature and/or humidity of the air flow at an air outlet of the hair dryer, and a part of the air flow may be recirculated based on an output of the sensor (MS). The hair dryer may have a nozzle to channel hot air towards a user's scalp. A wall of the drying chamber (HC) may be shaped so as to style the hair and/or increase a contact area that is in contact with the hair.

An encoder, decoder, encoding method and decoding method for 3DoF+ video are disclosed. The encoding method comprises receiving (110) multi-view image or video data comprising a basic view and at least a first additional view of a scene. The method proceeds by identifying (220) pixels in the first additional view that need to be encoded because they contain scene-content that is not visible in the basic view. The first additional view is divided (230) into a plurality of first blocks of pixels. First blocks containing at least one of the identified pixels are retained (240); and first blocks that contain none of the identified pixels are discarded. The retained blocks are rearranged (250) so that they are contiguous in at least one dimension. A packed additional view is generated (260) from the rearranged first retained blocks and encoded (264).
