Medical device system and related methods for diagnosing abnormal medical conditions based on in-vivo optical properties of tissue

A diagnostic system detects abnormal physical properties of tissue in a patient based upon optical properties of the tissue. A probe includes light delivery and capture fibers, and polarizers. Optical properties detected relate to polarized and unpolarized light into, and scattering from, the tissue. The optical properties detected are processed and analyzed to produce results indicative of the physical property(s) evaluated. System operation is controlled against pressure monitored via a pressure sensor coupled to the probe-tissue interface. The analysis corrects for patient physical characteristics as user inputs, such as menopausal or menstrual condition of women patients. Physical properties diagnosed include cervical dysplasia conditions in women patients, such as HSIL, cervical cancer, LSIL, or cervicitis. Analysis and diagnosis is based upon at least one of: ratios between scattered light signals captured from the tissue, slope of intensity over wavelength for scattered light signals captured, and hemoglobin-related parameters in the tissue.

Background index bitmapping for faster query performance

A database engine and a system running a database engine utilize a dynamic bitmap updating routine to avoid the delay associated with building an entire bitmap. When running a query on a table, the database engine can build a bitmap over a column of the table that helps avoid unnecessary I / O operations to retrieve records. The database engine initializes the bitmap so that all elements have a value of “1”, or active, and proceeds to scan and retrieve the records of the table according to the bitmap using a first process. Any retrieved record is further analyzed to determine if it is part of the result set. Concurrently, a second process is initiated which continually updates the values within the bitmap according to a set of selection criteria. As the first process continues to operate, more and more elements of the bitmap are set to “0”, or inactive, so that the first process can avoid unnecessary I / O operations.
