Abstract: A method for detecting an anomaly in a biological material is disclosed, comprising the steps of: irradiating the biological material with electromagnetic radiation of at least two different energy levels; measuring the amount of radiation transmitted through said biological material at said energy levels; and determining, for each energy level, a transmission value through the biological material based on the radiation through said biological material. Before or after irradiation of said biological material, a reference material of a predetermined thickness is also irradiated with electromagnetic radiation at said energy levels, and the amount of radiation transmitted through the reference material at said energy levels is determined. For each energy level, a calibration reference value is determined based on the radiation transmitted through said reference material. Further, it is determined for each energy level, a calibrated transmission value based on a ratio between said determined transmission value through the biological material for the energy level and said determined calibration reference value for the energy level. Thereafter, a material value based on a relationship between the calibrated transmission value for said energy levels is determined, and the presence of an anomaly in said biological material is determined based on a comparison between the determined material value and an expected material value for said biological material. A corresponding apparatus is also disclosed.

Title: Targeted health care messaging
Inventor: WAUGH DONALD
IPC: G16H20/13
Filed: 2011-05-06
Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for targeted health care messaging for patients and health care providers. In response to a health care event, such as the generation of a prescription or treatment of a patient, information regarding the health care event is obtained by a messaging server. The messaging server uses this information, or a filtered representation thereof, to select one or more health care messages based on selection criteria associated with the selected messages. The messaging server then provides the selected messages to one or more user devices for presentation to one or more participants in the health care event. In many instances, ethical, legal, and regulatory mandates prohibit disclosure of identifying information for a patient or health care professional participating in the health care event to unauthorized third parties, such as the providers or sources of the message content of the selected messages. As such, the information used to select the targeted messages is obtained or used in a manner that prevents identification of participants in the health care event by unauthorized entities. These targeted health care messaging techniques provide an effective and low-cost mechanism for disseminating health care information to the appropriate audience.
