The present invention relates to means and methods for modifying renal function in a subject, comprising selecting a patient requiring an increment in renal function; emitting a quantity of ultrasound radiation, enough to provide an increment in renal function, to at least one part of a kidney for a period of time from about 1 hours to about 30 days.

Apparatus and method for treating kidneys

The invention relates to a cardiac lead extraction device, comprising: a handle; an elongated body having a first proximal end, a first distal end, and a first lumen extending from said first proximal end toward said first distal end, said lumen sized and shaped to fit over a cardiac lead; a controllable bendable flexible portion more flexible that said elongated body and having a second proximal end, a second distal end and a second lumen extending from said second proximal end toward said second distal end, said lumen sized and shaped to fit over a cardiac lead; said second proximal end interconnected to said first distal end; said second distal end interconnected to an operational distal end; wherein said operational distal end comprises at least one lead extraction assistive tool, said lead extraction helping tool is activated by a motor located at said handle or proximally to said handle.

Cardiac lead extraction device

A method of modifying tissue behavior, comprising:

Beta blocker therapy with electrical administration

A nuclear medicine tomography system comprising: a detector carrier having a circular or partially circular aperture and defining a plane; a plurality of SPECT detector assemblies attached to the detector carrier and arranged around the aperture; a patient carrier movable relative to the plane; each detector assembly comprising an arm defining an extension axis and at least one detector head movable along the axis, wherein each detector assembly has a rounded distal portion; wherein each detector head is extendible along the axis, from the detector carrier toward the patient carrier; and a controller to: control, based on desired bore size and shape, extension and retraction of the detector heads to a spatial arrangement defined by the extension and retraction, control data acquisition by the detector heads, and control image reconstruction of acquired data; the controller further configured to control data acquisition and/or image reconstruction, based on the spatial arrangement.

Gantry rotation

A method and/or system are provided for improving kidney function and/or increasing Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) of the renal system, by applying acoustic and/or ultrasonic energy to one or more of the kidneys. The method suggests either focused or non-focused (or combined) energy delivery, optionally in a noninvasive approach, which could also be implemented invasively and/or by implantable device. Potential applications of this technique, include, but are not restricted to, treatment of renal disorders such as CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and/or AKI (Acute Kidney Injury), short term or long term intervention in kidney function for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, modifying urine output in heart failure, modulating blood volume and/or pressure, and modulating clearance of compounds in the blood are typically difficult to extract from the kidneys, such as iodine, other imaging contrast media, and similar compounds.

An aspect of some embodiments of the invention relate to a system for tissue characterization using an acousto-electric effect comprising: at least one ultrasonic waveform generator; at least one waveform generation controller; at least one set of electrodes; at least one electric signal amplification circuitry connectable to at least one of said at least one set of electrodes to generate an amplified signal; and at least one signal processing unit for analyzing said amplified signal and to generate information related to properties of multiple locations within a target tissue; wherein at least one of said multiple location has no direct contact with any electrode, and wherein said properties of said multiple locations are obtained within up to 10 milliseconds per location on average.

Method and system for imaging a tissue using acousto-electric effect

An N-M tomography system comprising: a carrier for the subject of an examination procedure; a plurality of detector heads; a carrier for the detector heads; and a detector positioning arrangement operable to position the detector heads during performance of a scan without interference or collision between adjacent detector heads to establish a variable bore size and configuration for the examination. Additionally, collimated detectors providing variable spatial resolution for SPECT imaging and which can also be used for PET imaging, whereby one set of detectors can be selectably used for either modality, or for both simultaneously.

Proximity detection

Protein activity modification

Counterbalancing of detectors for nuclear medicine tomography systems

A method of modifying cardiac tissue behavior, comprising applying a therapeutically effective electric field having an effect of modifying protein activation levels of at least one protein, and repeatedly applying the field at time intervals timed to increase the activation levels of the at least one protein beyond an activation level achieved by natural and/or paced excitation of the muscle without the application, to an extent about at least as high as a decay of the activation between applications of the field.

Collimator

Devices and methods for RF heating of food, using techniques which allow uniformity and/or controlled non-uniformity.

Food preparation

Nuclear medicine tomography systems, detectors and methods

A method for reconstructing a radioactive emission image of an overall volume having first and second volumetric regions, each volumetric region having respectively independent dynamic characteristics. The method comprises the following steps: a) obtaining radioactive emissions from the overall volume, including the volumetric regions, b) reconstructing an initial radioactive emission image of the volumetric region according to the radioactive emissions, c) segmenting the initial radioactive emission image to delineate the first and second volumetric regions, and d) separately reconstructing the first and the second volumetric regions according to the respectively independent dynamic characteristics.
