The invention relates to X-ray diagnostic systems for angiographic examinations. The invention lies in the fact that the passage of the contrast medium is detected by its physiological effects, such as the rise in temperature of the cutaneous tissues, by means of thermocouples C1 to Cn arranged on the body of the patient. The signals from the thermocouples are processed in a device 31 which s...

An apparatus for reducing image artifacts caused by over-ranging or clipping of the data collected in a tomographic scan using a patient support, models the density profile of the patient support with a polynomial. Coefficients of the polynomial are stored in a look-up table according to gantry angle and used to estimate the over-range data. The estimated data is blended with the in-range data by ...

The biopsy table (21) includes a platform (22), on which the patient lies in a prone position with the breasts passing through an aperture (37). An image receptor (36) is mounted on a C-arm (27) and can be rotated about an axis (29) able to be positioned between the patient`s breasts or against the underside of a breast. A tube-head (28) which delivers X-rays to the patient is positioned at the pa...

The invention provides dual-skinned membrane useful as one way or rectifying membranes which reduce back filtration of solute molecules in dialysis and which improve nutrient supply and product recovery in membrane bioreactors. The membranes are dual-skinned polymeric materials preferably in the form of hollow fibers. The membranes have skins of polymer on the opposite sides with differing permeab...

Land vehicle navigation apparatus (10) includes computer (11) for calculating first and second navigation routes (1, 2, or 3) between start (72) and destination (73) locations. Both routes are preferably visible to vehicle operator at same time along with route criteria such as route travel mileage and/or route estimated travel time. Vehicle operator selects which displayed route is used for provi...

This device for editing information for a computer, in particular for aiding navigation of a motor vehicle, in which the computer (1) is connected to information display means (2) and to information input means (3), is characterised in that the information input means comprise means (4, 5) for controlling the advance of the information in a window (6) of the display means (2), which means can be a...
