“Its all about the timing…Echo cardiogram enhancement through ECG/EKG triggering” A presentation by Prof. David A. Rivkin, PhD President Chief Scientist, GCPI Adjunct Professor, Drexel University IEEE Senior Member, EMBS Distinguished Lecturer Chairman, IEEE SCV Instrumentation and Measurement Society Chairman, IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Technical Committee 34 “Nanotechnology In Instrumentation and Measurement” IEEE Nanotech Council Executive Member AdvaMed Medical Device Industry Council Advisor ISO TC-229 “Nanotechnology Standards” IEEE Liaison Chairman, STI Emerging Technologies SIG Fellow, Society for Industrial Applied Mathematics Timing of the Presentation The Problem – Blurry Pictures… Previous Solutions – Big Computers… New Solution – Embedded Monitor/Trigger Unified Solution – Best Timely Results Overview of Design – How it works Overview of Management – Why its on time Conclusion – Its about time The Problem – Blurry Pictures X-Ray Echo Cardiogram CT 3D Ultrasound PET Electrical Impedance Tomography (IET) The Problem – Blurry Pictures Issue Patient Moves Breathing Heart Beating Possible Solution Restrain Patient Hold Breath Nothing…till now The Problem – Echo Cardiograms Measurements of cardiac muscle and arteries need to be taken Heart Beating Dimensions Change over Heart Rhythm Cycle The Problem – 3D Imaging 3D Ultrasound 3D Echocardiogram X-Ray Computed Tomography MRI The Problem – Invasion When Imaging Is Inconclusive, Invasive measures must be taken E.g. Open Heart Surgery Always a risk of complications Previous Solutions – Big Computers… NASA Bartron Medical Imaging (defunct) GCPI Redundant Shadowing Advanced CT algorithms Cluster Computing Supercomputers Previous Solutions – Big Computers… NASA Bartron Medical Imaging GCPI Redundant Shadowing – Determine Regions of Motion Causing Error Advanced CT algorithms Compensate for Motion with estimation and redundant data New Solution – Embedded Monitor/Trigger Electro Cardiog
