Minimum digital video capture and display system based on Blackfin533 platform

Digital imaging and recent advances in computer software and hardware provide the medical industry with a new technology for archiving photos without film and assessing patients' expectations before surgery to make sure patients receive the results they expect. Hardware advances such as the instant-access digital video capture board, advanced digital video/still cameras, and dual Pentium processors allow complex photos to be manipulated quickly so that doctors can point out subtle changes in a patient's image and realistically create end results on a screen before beginning a surgical procedure, allowing the doctor to bring the client's expectations in line with real surgical potential. Other advantages of digital imaging over traditional photography and sketching include the elimination of photo degradation over time, a lessened need for printing with the use of an on-screen image, and a limitless file room for photo storage.

Capture Techniques

We have employed cryoelectron microscopy to visualize events that occur during the freeze-drying of artificial membranes by employing real time video capture techniques. Artificial membranes or liposomes which are spherical structures within internal aqueous space are stabilized by water which provides the driving force for spontaneous self-assembly of these structures. Previous assays of damage to these structures which are induced by freeze drying reveal that the two principal deleterious events that occur are 1) fusion of liposomes and 2) leakage of contents trapped within the liposome [1]. In the past the only way to access these events was to examine the liposomes following the dehydration event. This technique allows the event to be monitored in real time as the liposomes destabilize and as water is sublimed at cryo temperatures in the vacuum of the microscope. The method by which liposomes are compromised by freeze-drying are largely unknown. This technique has shown that cryo-protectants such as glycerol and carbohydrates are able to maintain liposomal structure throughout the drying process.

Training And Supervision

Abstract The purpose of this article is to provide clinical supervisors with information pertaining to state-of-the-art clinic observation technology. We use a novel video-capture technology, the Landro Play Analyzer, to supervise clinical sessions as well as to train students to improve their clinical skills. We can observe four clinical sessions simultaneously from a central observation center. In addition, speech samples can be analyzed in real-time; saved on a CD, DVD, or flash/jump drive; viewed in slow motion; paused; and analyzed with Microsoft Excel. Procedures for applying the technology for clinical training and supervision will be discussed.
