A medical imaging device includes a display device; and at least one electronic processor programmed to perform an imaging method including controlling an associated medical imaging device to acquire a dynamic lung image including a time sequence of lung images depicting at least one lung of the patient; separating the dynamic lung image into a dynamic respiration image depicting density changes due to respiration and a dynamic perfusion image depicting density changes due to lung perfusion; at least one of: (i) generating a respiration delay image based on the dynamic respiration image; and (ii) generating a perfusion delay image based on the dynamic lung perfusion image; and displaying the respiration delay image and/or lung perfusion delay image on the display device.

Lung diagnosis using dynamic X-ray imaging

A diaphragm measurement device includes at least one electronic processor programmed to perform a diaphragm measurement method including receiving ultrasound imaging data of a dimension of a diaphragm of a patient during inspiration and expiration while the patient undergoes mechanical ventilation therapy with a mechanical ventilator; receiving respiratory data of the patient during inspiration and expiration while the patient undergoes the mechanical ventilation therapy; calculating a diaphragm thickness metric based on the received ultrasound imaging data of the diaphragm of the patient and the received respiratory data; and displaying, on a display device, a representation of the calculated diaphragm thickness metric.

Accurate diaphragm thickness and function evaluation using ultrasound and mechanical ventilator signals

A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions readable and executable by at least one electronic processor to receive clinical data for a current patient (P); search a database of CT scans and/or patient-specific mechanical ventilation models for other patients using the clinical data for the current patient as a search criterion to identify a similar patient in the database and similar patient data (S) comprising a CT scan and/or a patient-specific mechanical ventilation model for the similar patient; determine a patient-specific mechanical ventilation model for the current patient based on the CT scan and/or patient-specific mechanical ventilation model for the similar patient; generate ventilator configuration data for mechanically ventilating the current patient based on the determined patient-specific mechanical ventilation model for the current patient.

Mechanical ventilator configuration for mechanical ventilation of a patient with limited or no imaging data of the patient

A mechanical ventilation device comprising at least one electronic controller is configured to receive images of lungs of a patient undergoing mechanical ventilation therapy with a mechanical ventilator, the images being acquired over time and having timestamps; process the images to generate timeline images at corresponding discrete time points; and display a timeline of the timeline images on a display device.

Inter- and extrapolation of chest image and mechanical ventilation settings into a time lapse series for progression monitoring and outcome prediction during long term mechanical ventilation

An intubation assistance device includes an electronic controller configured to: generate a patient respiratory tract geometry model of at least a portion of a human respiratory tract by inputting one or more patient variables into a statistical shape model (SSM) of at least a portion of the human respiratory tract; select a recommended endotracheal tube (ETT) size by modeling at least one ETT model inserted into the patient respiratory tract geometry model to form a virtual fit model and estimating at least one fit parameter based on the virtual fit model; and display the recommended ETT size on a display device.
