You do expect your doctor to actually know where your damage is, don't you? How the hell else can they give any decent instructions to the therapists about what damage needs to be ameliorated? My doctor took the easy and lazy way out and just wrote ET(Evaluate and Treat) on my prescription to OT, PT and ST. I wonder why I was paying him at all. He did absolutely nothing that I could see as being useful. He pooh-poohed the Saeboflex when I showed him an article on it. Next time I will be a complete asshole to my doctors, demanding prescriptions that get me to 100% recovery. If survivors had started doing this 40 years ago we might have gotten somewhere by now.

Recently converted in one of the youngest residents of Silicon Valley, California, the high-tech Mexican enterprise Echopixel created software that allows the medical doctor to look and manipulate on their desk third dimension (3-D) holograms of various organs obtained from ultrasound, CT or MRI scans.
Thanks to their computer system called Z-Space, the physician can use a flat screen on their desk and project a 3-D copy of the heart, liver, intestine, pancreas or any other organ that the patient wishes to be diagnosed.
The hologram is individualized and can be manipulated, for example, to enlarge a vein or open it. The solution that Echopixel offers is to take each one of the 500 or thousand images, in the form of slices that are obtained from CT or MRI scans and fuses them in a tridimensional form with the help of a program that translates a flat image in volumetric data.
Sergio Aguirre, graduate from the Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), conceived this idea since 2006 after a previous experience working with 3-D videos. When he observed the great potential in the so called “professional markets” Aguirre decided to jump form 3-D advertising to the elaboration of a medical visualization tool, for that, he decided to seek the help of the Mexico-United States Foundation for Science (FUMEC), which contacted him with academies and American enterprises.
“With the innovation that we provide, the doctors have the possibility to work with body parts, not just images. Currently, diagnosis is made with images from ultrasound, CT or MRI scans from the patient. Between 500 and a thousand images from an organ are delivered to the physician, who must then reconstruct the images mentally to detect an anomaly or tumor. This is a very intense cognitive process but can be inefficient. Our system takes all those images and displays them as a whole organ”, Sergio Aguirre explained.
The structure of our enterprise is not only based in four employees, but an excellence team behind the operators formed by eight medical doctors, engineers, screen experts and business counselors that work in Mexican and American universities or companies. Six of them have a Ph.D. and others a post- doctorate. The incorporation of each counselor required a process of consults and negotiations that took three months.
Today, this Mexican enterprise in one of the Silicon Valley’s Tech-BA program beneficiaries, and expects to generate annual sales superior to 50 million dollars.
Besides, when a certain growth stage is reached it can be attractive to be bought by bigger companies that could pay up to seven fold the value of their annual sales. (Agencia ID)
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,160 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
