Multiple scattering and accidental coincidences in the J-PET detector simulated using GATE package

Novel Positron Emission Tomography system, based on plastic scintillators, is developed by the J-PET collaboration. In order to optimize geometrical conguration of built device, advanced computer simulations are performed. Detailed study is presented of background given by accidental coincidences and multiple scattering of gamma quanta.

Application of Telemedical Technologies in Remote Evaluation of Soldiers’ Vital Signs during Training and in Combat Conditions

The article presents the potential use of computer systems for remote evaluation of soldiers’ vital signs and the transfer of results to the Command and Control Center or the Medical Support Centre. This article also suggests a number of possible solutions that can be successfully adopted both in training and in combat conditions. Furthermore, it indicates new sources of development to this rapidly progressing field of technology.

Telemedical system in evaluation of auditory brainsteam responses and support of diagnosis

The paper presents the use of telemedicine in intelligent supporting of otorhinolaryngologist in the diagnosis of auditory brainsteam responses. This test is easy to visualize but difficult to diagnose. The presented software system uses advanced methods of signal processing and an authors algorithm supporting the doctor by setting the characteristic points of the examination and reach the diagnosis. This paper describes the capabilities of the system and underline the benefits which are result of the nature of this application. It also highlights the benefits and opportunities introduced to this field of medicine by the described intelligent software system.

Inżynieria biomedyczna – partner medycyny w komunikowaniu o innowacjach medycznych

Paper presents opportunities to take advantage of knowledge of higher technical personnel with Biomedical Engineering specialty as a partner of both doctors and medias representatives in the health communication. It was shown that such partnership is necessary when building patient’s trust for the innovations in medicine. It was also proven how underestimated factor in health communication is properly handled documentation and allowing patients to access it remotely. Conclusions was backed by specific examples of innovations in medicine and means to inform patients about them.

IT Systems of Remote Medical Care

Abstract Intensive development of medical sciences and information technology, and their cooperation offers new opportunities and sets course of action for complex healthcare and human life protection. With the development of equipment capabilities, the emergence of new sensors and advancement of information technology, the emergence of applications supporting life and health protection, ensuring both the healthcare and human protection against various threats, can be observed. Especially in an aging society a huge demand for this type of products and services is visible, and that niche in the market is still not filled. In this paper several existing systems of remote medical care are analyzed and a concept of the constructed system of own authorship is presented.
