464 results about "Lymph" patented technology

Lymph (from Latin, lympha meaning "water") is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a system composed of lymph vessels (channels) and intervening lymph nodes whose function, like the venous system, is to return fluid from the tissues to the central circulation. Interstitial fluid – the fluid which is between the cells in all body tissues – enters the lymph capillaries. This lymphatic fluid is then transported via progressively larger lymphatic vessels through lymph nodes, where substances are removed by tissue lymphocytes and circulating lymphocytes are added to the fluid, before emptying ultimately into the right or the left subclavian vein, where it mixes with central venous blood.

Method for calculating and correcting errors of lymphedema limb volume

This invention relates to a method for calculating and correcting the volume of a limb with lymphedema. The method involves acquiring the outer contour data of the limb with lymphedema under a first and second standard measurement position, and dividing the limb into segments along its length with equal intervals to obtain two sets of corresponding volume segments. The volume of each corresponding segment is calculated, and the volume difference for the same segment number is determined. The volume segment whose absolute value of the volume difference is greater than a preset threshold is identified as the target volume segment. Based on the correspondence of the local volume distribution of the target volume segment in the two sets of volume segments, the volume difference is determined to be either a solid increment or a positional drift increment. Using the volume of each volume segment under the first standard measurement position as a benchmark, the solid increment is retained in the target volume segment, and the positional drift increment is corrected. The volumes of each volume segment after correction are summed to obtain the corrected volume of the limb with lymphedema.
