Patient documentation for the ultrasound laboratory

1991

The development of a PC based system for the storage of patient data in the echocardiography laboratory is described. Special design objectives were low cost and user friendliness, including an integrated special query language. After 3 years of use, the system stores 80000 diagnoses from 12000 patients without any relevant slowdown of response. Future developments concerning the communication between the database system and an echocardiographic sector scanner are discussed.

Frictional effects in structural behavior of no-end-connected steel-jacketed RC columns: Experimental results and new approaches to model numerical a…

2017

Steel jacketing of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is a common retrofitting technique used to restore bearing and deformation capacity of buildings presenting structural deficiencies. For practical reasons, steel angles are in several cases arranged leaving a gap with the end beams or slabs. Despite this disconnection, the angles are still able to support a non-negligible portion of load because of the frictional forces developed along the column-angle contact interface. In these cases, the definition of computational numerical and analytical models for the assessment of reinforced cross sections becomes more complex and must be handled with care. The actual load-carrying capacity of the a…

Determination of the facial/oral alveolar crest using RF-echograms. An in vitro study on the periodontium of pigs.

1989

Abstract This study is a part of a research project in which we have been investigating the use of the ultrasonic pulse echo technique as a means of determining in vivo the facial/oral alveolar crest precisely and routinely. Here, RF-echograms are presented, showing the facial/oral periodontium of pigs. These echograms have been produced using a focussed 20 MHz transducer and a special design of an ultrasonic measuring and analysis system. In one series of measurements on macerated periodontia of pigs we found out that RF-echograms characteristic of a particular level of the facial/oral pericrestal aspect can be achieved. Based upon these results, we succeeded in determining exactly the hei…
