Millions of people are affected by sleep apnea that is a sleep disorder, characterized by disrupted breathing when asleep. Sleep apnea leads to cardiovascular issues, chronic fatigue, daytime drowsiness and poor cognitive functioning. Additionally, the sleep deprivation that sets in with time leads to irritability and mood swings, affecting your day-to-day functioning and quality of life. ...
The use of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is often viewed as incompatible with current standard radiology workflows. Some radiologists or departments may be unaware of its existence or purpose. Despite the skepticism surrounding its viability in a clinical setting, QSM shows great potential in a wide range of clinical applications, particularly for biomarker detection and ...
OBJECTIVES: Prior studies have shown inaccuracies in pulse oximetry readings at saturations less than 85%; however, no large studies have evaluated new sensors marketed for these low saturations. This study's purpose was to evaluate two sensors with claims of improved accuracy in children with saturations less than 85%. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Single institution; ...
Objective: To reduce exposure to hyperoxia and its associated morbidities in preterm neonates. Study design: A multidisciplinary group was established to evaluate oxygen exposure in our neonatal intensive care unit. Infants were assigned target saturation ranges and signal extraction technology implemented to temporally quantify achievement of these ranges. The outcomes bronchopulmonary ...

As a technology, photoplethysmography (PPG) has been explored for almost a century, but it is only in the last few years that it has had a broader application beyond specialised medical settings. That has generally been driven by the evolution of smartphones, smartwatches and even smaller wearable devices such as smart rings. PPG is most commonly used in pulse oximetry in clinical settings ...

Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging offers a wide variety of contrast mechanisms to study soft tissue in the body. Using the complex data from the SWI scans, it is possible to produce magnetic source images using a novel reconstruction method that takes the phase data and reconstructs what is referred to as a quantitative susceptibility map (QSM). The phase images represent local frequency ...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious and life-threatening condition. Approximately 5.9 million adults are diagnosed with OSA, but as many as 23 million people are estimated to be dealing with OSA yet go undiagnosed. The impact on health can be significant, ranging from inconveniences to life-threatening illnesses. Obstructive sleep apnea can cause disrupted sleep for both OSA sufferers and ...
In the summer of 2001, the radiology world was shocked to learn of an accident at Westchester Medical Center in New York state in which 6-year-old Michael Colombini was killed while being prepared for an MRI exam. Sedated and positioned in the scanner, the child's oxygen saturation levels began dropping quickly. After the piped-in oxygen serving the MRI scanner room malfunctioned, the ...
