20100297022 | Magnetosome Gene Expression in Eukaryotic Cells - The invention is the production of magnetosome-like structures in cells. The invention provides in vitro and in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic methods using eukaryotic cells expressing magnetosome-like structures that act as contrast agents. | 11-25-2010 |
20100204563 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CORRECTING ATTENUATION IN HYBRID MEDICAL IMAGING - A hybrid medical imaging system comprises a nuclear medicine imaging subsystem for capturing an image of a target region of a subject, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) subsystem for capturing an MRI image of the target region based on at least one MRI parameter and processing structure communicating with the subsystems. The processing structure processes the MRI image to estimate attenuation within the target region and uses the estimated attenuation to correct the image captured by the nuclear medicine imaging subsystem. | 08-12-2010 |
20090124898 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR QUANTIFYING THE BEHAVIOR OF AN ADMINISTERED CONTRAST AGENT - A method for quantifying contrast agent behavior of an administrated contrast agent within a region of interest, comprises: obtaining a time sequence of measurements, I(t), of contrast agent concentration starting before the contrast agent enters the region of interest and a time sequence of measurements, J(t), of the contrast agent concentration as the contrast agent perfuses the region of interest; deconvolving I(t) from J(t) to obtain an estimate of the tissue impulse response function for the region of interest, R′(t), where R′(t) is constrained to take into account at least one of physiologic and physical considerations and is chosen such that I(t) | 05-14-2009 |
