20120299916 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENT OF CARTILAGE HEALTH USING MRI MAPPING TECHNIQUES - This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for generating a 3D rendering of and quantitative analysis of biochemical MRI voxels corresponding to a tissue or organ of interest. Voxels corresponding to the tissue or organ of interest can be identified from anatomical MRI voxels and aligned with biochemical MRI voxels. The biochemical MRI voxels aligned with the tissue or organ of interest can be isolated and then provided to one or more modules for 3D rendering and quantitative analysis. | 11-29-2012 |
20120071803 | Posterior Cruciate Ligament Support Brace - This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for a knee brace providing a dynamic resistance or anterior force to a shank of a leg in order to replicate PCL forces of a healthy PCL. A dynamic force dependent upon knee flexion angle provides faster and safer PCL injury healing since the dynamic force better replicates the forces that a healthy PCL would exert on the tibia and femur. | 03-22-2012 |
