A system and method for controlling and selecting sources in a room on a network. The system allows a remote viewer to create a virtual presence within the room by providing the available displays, corresponding to the sources, to the remote viewer. The system includes a standardizing technique for improving the communication and overall switching of data for streaming on a network. The system can include a recording server for performing dual recording of the video files in each of a local database and a remote database. A graphical user interface (GUI) display is provided to guide a local user through a medical procedure in the standardized system.

A system and method for detecting, timing, and adapting to patient motion during an MR scan includes using the inconsistencies between calculated images from different coil-array elements to detect the presence of patient motion and, together with the k-space scan-order information, determine the timing of the motion during the scan. Once the timing is known, various actions may be taken, including restarting the scan, reacquiring those portions of k-space acquired before the movement, or correcting for the motion using the existing data and reconstructing a motion-corrected image from the data.

A collimation system for a medical apparatus includes a collimation component having a laser emitting device, at least one photographing device, and a computing device. The laser emitting device is configured to the emit a laser beam to irradiate on a landmark on a body surface of a patient, the at least one photographing device is configured to take a photograph of a laser irradiation spot, and the computing device is configured to obtain a position of the laser irradiation spot by performing computation on images obtained by the at least one photographing device. The system further includes a moving component provided on the medical apparatus and configured to move to a target position for performing diagnosis or treatment. The medical apparatus automatically is configured to locate the moving component based on the position of the irradiation spot obtained from the computation.

Example embodiments provide real time quality monitoring of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Data associated with an MRI scan of a particular patient is received. The data is sequential MRI data associated with various times. A rate of change of the sequential data is determined with reference to the various times. It is determined whether the rate of change of the sequential data meets a first configurable threshold. It is determined whether the rate of change of the sequential data meets a second configurable threshold. The sequential data is classified based on whether the rate of change of the sequential data meets the first and second configurable thresholds.

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes control and analysis circuitry having programming to acquire magnetic resonance (MR) data using coil elements of the MRI system, analyze the MR data, and reconstruct the MR data into MR sub-images. The system also includes a trained neural network associated with the control and analysis circuitry to transform the MR sub-images into a prediction relating to a presence and extent of motion corruption in the MR sub-images. The programming of the control and analysis circuitry includes instructions to control operations of the MRI system based at least in part on the prediction of the trained neural network.

The invention discloses a method for digitally and accurately manufacturing dental restorations. At the clinical end, resins with suitable strength, color, toughness, and hardness, resin-based ceramic composite materials, high-strength wax, and other materials that are easy to mill and grind are used to quickly manufacture crown substitutes. ;Using each patient's own gums as the articulator, through the communication and inspection between the clinician and the patient, and using the clinically fine-tuned digitally produced crown as the medium, to establish the correct geometry, color, edge tightness, adjacency and occlusion of the restoration relationship and the shape required for the early healing of the gingiva, etc., to achieve temporary restoration--protection, maintenance and stability; the doctor will then conduct a second accurate scan of the crown that has adjusted the shape, occlusion and adjacency relationship, The second scan data is fused with the previously designed digital wax-up data to obtain an accurate digital design of the dental restoration, accurately replicating a bionic zirconia denture, and achieving zero grinding and precise restoration at the doctor's end.
