In part, the invention relates to an image data collection system. The system can include an interferometer having a reference arm that includes a first optical fiber of length of L1 and a sample arm that includes a second optical fiber of length of L2 and a first rotary coupler configured to interface with an optical tomography imaging probe, wherein the rotary coupler is in optical communication with the sample arm. In one embodiment, L2 is greater than about 5 meters. The first optical fiber and the second optical fiber can both be disposed in a common protective sheath. In one embodiment, the system further includes an optical element configured to adjust the optical path length of the reference arm, wherein the optical element is in optical communication with the reference arm and wherein the optical element is transmissive or reflective.

Multimodal imaging system, apparatus, and methods

The present invention relates to a femoral compression system () for applying compression against a puncture site of a vessel in a patient, and a method for applying compression with a femoral compression system. The compression system () comprises an inflatable compression element () adapted to apply a pressure against the puncture site, a tightening unit () adapted to extend around a part of, or the whole of, the patients body to fixate and to tighten the compression element () against the puncture site, a pump () adapted to inflate the compression element (), a valve () adapted to deflate the compression element (), a pressure transducer () adapted to sense the pressure within the compression element (). The system further comprises a blood pressure pulse detector () adapted to sense the patient's blood pressure pulse and to generate a pulse signal in dependence thereto that is applied to a control unit () that is connected to the pump (), valve () and pressure transducer (), wherein the control unit () is adapted to control the pressure within the compression element () in dependence of the pulse signal, by applying control signals to said pump () and valve ().

An interface to connect sensor equipment and a physiological monitor includes a first connector to receive power from a first channel of the monitor and a second connector to receive power from a second channel of the monitor. The power from each of the first and second channels of the monitor is combined within the interface. The interface further includes a third connector to provide the combined power to the sensor equipment; a voltage converter to rescale the voltage of the combined power that is provided to the sensor equipment; and a scaling circuit to reduce the voltage of a signal representing a measured physiological parameter. The signal representing the measured physiological parameter is sent from the sensor equipment to the monitor. The interface is advantageous to allow sensor equipment to be sufficiently powered by a monitor that would not typically provide enough power.
