Abstract: A method for evaluation of renal perfusion with power Doppler ultrasonography is disclosed in the present invention. Serial renal vascular images at different vascular areas including the whole vascular tree, interlobar, arcuate, and interlobular vessels were captured. Imaging processing software was designed to analyze the changes of power Doppler intensity of colored pixels within regions of interest (ROI). Power Doppler Vascularity index (PDVI) has been defined as the percentage of vascular perfusion within a region of interest (ROI). The renal vascular perfusion index (RVPI) is defined as the maximal power Doppler vascular index divided by minimal power Doppler vascular index (PDVImax/PDVImin) among the serial images. The mean of weighted power Doppler vascular index (WPDVImean) is defined as the average of the intensity of color pixels among the ROI within the serial images. By using the RVPI and WPDVImean, a more dynamic sense of vascular perfusion and a novel approach for the evaluation of renal vascular function in clinical practice can be provided.

Abstract: A patient hydration system including an infusion device for administering hydration fluid to a patient, and a hydration fluid measurement device responsive to a source of hydration fluid, a patient urine output measurement device. A controller is responsive to the hydration fluid measurement device and the patient urine output measurement device. The controller operates the infusion device, in response to the patient urine output measurement device and the hydration fluid measurement device, to hydrate the patient based on the patient's urine output. The controller also monitors the operation history of the infusion device thereby providing redundancy in the measurement of the amount of hydration fluid administered to the patient.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for analyzing medical imaging data of a subject from an imaging modality using a tracer, data from detection of tracer emission events at least one region of a scanned imaging volume are obtained, and the data processed to establish sub-periods or time points within a scan period for the emission events. A rate of change of emission events per unit time for a given region is then calculated, for example by obtaining a number of emission events in each sub-period in the given region, and fitting a line through the values for the sub-periods.
