SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING HEMODYNAMIC AND IMAGING EXAMINATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for integrating hemodynamic and imaging examinations.;SOLUTION: Hemodynamic data and imaging data are obtained about a patient, and the data is combined to generate a single report (48) integrating same. While a hemodynamic system (12) obtains the hemodynamic data, an imaging system (14) obtains the imaging data. Preferably, the report (48) confirms the absence or presence (and/or severity) of peripheral arterial disease, including quantitative data. The hemodynamic system (12) and the imaging system (14) can communicate wirelessly. The hemodynamic system (12) and the imaging system (14) may be contained within a common enclosure (50) and integrated into a single apparatus (50). The hemodynamic system (12) and the imaging system (14) can also be configured to measure the blood pressure of the patient. Preferably, the imaging system (14) is an ultrasound imaging system (14).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
