54 MedTech Spotlight News Computer Vision News has found great new stories, written somewhere else by somebody else. We share them with you, adding a short comment. Enjoy! Kernel Flow Headset: A Wearable Device for Noninvasive Optical Brain Imaging Believe it or not, this wearable helmet-shaped device monitors brainactivity. In fact, functional near-infraredspectroscopy (fNIRS) is a widely used noninvasive imaging technique that employs near-infrared light to determine the relative concentration of hemoglobin in the brain. Current scanning systems being expensive and complex, researchers from a neurotechnology company calledKernel arenowable toovercome thesechallenges: they have developed this wearable headset which offers accurate results and possibly making neuro measurements mainstream. Read More Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot Performs Laparoscopic Surgery on Pig Soft Tissue Without Human Help Scientific breakthroughs in Robotic-Assisted Surgeriesarefastandverysignificant,asreaders of Medical Imaging News and followers of RSIP Vision know well. The one described in this story by Johns Hopkins University and Science Robotics tells of a robot that has performed laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without the guiding hand of a human. This could lead in time to robotics-enabled fully automated surgery on humans. Results show that the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR) was able to successfully reconnect two ends of an intestine. Read More Protecting Healthcare from The Growing Threat of Cybercrime While Covid-19 is presenting a very real threat to healthcare systems all over the world, a more ominous and human-initiated threat is growing in the background.There’sbeenamassivejump in the number of criminals targeting the sector with cyberattacks. What makes it even more heinous is the fact that these crimes come at a moment when health systems are vulnerable and they need clear access to all their data and medical images. The answers are: education to cyber threats, keeping updated software and maintain secure backups of critical data and images. Read More
