20130278256 | SELF-CONSTRAINT NON-ITERATIVE GRAPPA RECONSTRUCTION WITH CLOSED-FORM SOLUTION - Parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) reconstruction techniques are commonly used to reduce scan time by undersampling the k-space data. In GRAPPA, a k-space based pMRI technique, the missing k-space data are estimated by solving a set of linear equations; however, this set of equations does not take advantage of the correlations within the missing k-space data. All k-space data in a neighborhood acquired from a phased-array coil are correlated. The correlation can be estimated easily as a self-constraint condition, and formulated as an extra set of linear equations to improve the performance of GRAPPA. We propose a modified k-space based pMRI technique call self-constraint GRAPPA (SC-GRAPPA) which combines the linear equations of GRAPPA with these extra equations to solve for the missing k-space data. Since SC-GRAPPA utilizes a least-squares solution of the linear equations, it has a closed-form solution that does not require an iterative solver. | 10-24-2013 |

20140212015 | De-noising of Real-time Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Images by the Combined Application of Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) and Wavelet Filtering - A hybrid filtering method called Karhunen Loeve Transform-Wavelet (KW) filtering is presented to de-noise dynamic cardiac magnetic resonance images that simultaneously takes advantage of the intrinsic spatial and temporal redundancies of real-time cardiac cine. This filtering technique combines a temporal Karhunen-Loeve transform (KLT) and spatial adaptive wavelet filtering. KW filtering has four steps. The first is applying the KLT along the temporal direction, generating a series of “eigenimages”. The second is applying Marcenko-Pastur (MP) law to identify and discard the noise-only eigenimages. The third applying a 2-D spatial wavelet filter with adaptive threshold to each eigenimage to define the wavelet filter strength for each of the eigenimages based on the noise variance and standard deviation of the signal. Lastly, the inverse KLT is applied to the filtered eigenimages to generate a new series of cine images with reduced image noise. | 07-31-2014 |

20150212177 | VARIABLE DENSITY INCOHERENT SPATIOTEMPORAL ACQUISITION (VISTA) FOR HIGHLY ACCELERATED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING - A pseudo-random, incoherent sampling technique, called Variable density Incoherent Spatiotemporal Acquisition (VISTA) is disclosed, which is based on minimal Riesz energy problem. Compared with other pseudorandom methods (e.g., PDS), VISTA has the unique ability to incorporate a variety of problem-specific constraints. In this study, VISTA was applied to real-time CMR, where it not only provided an incoherent sampling with variable density but also ensured a constant temporal resolution and a fully sampled time-averaged data. | 07-30-2015 |

20090259121 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE STRESS MRI - A system and method for cardiovascular exercise stress magnetic resonance using a MRI-compatible treadmill and real-time imaging. The treadmill comprises non-ferromagnetic components so that it may be used in proximity to a MRI scanner. The treadmill is positioned adjacent to the MRI scan table. A treadmill control system is used to control the speed and grade of the treadmill to allow it to perform a wide range of exercise protocols. Patients complete an exercise protocol on the treadmill and are then moved to the MRI scan table. Images are acquired as quickly as possible post-exercise to more accurately diagnose cardiovascular disease in patients. | 10-15-2009 |
20130231551 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE STRESS MRI - A system and method for cardiovascular exercise stress magnetic resonance using a MR-compatible treadmill. The treadmill is made of non-ferromagnetic materials and has a belt driven by a motor that produces rotational motion from pressurized fluid that is produced by a pump located outside the scan room. The treadmill is adjacent to the MR imager. Patients complete an exercise protocol on the treadmill and are then transferred to the MR imager without leaving the scan room. Images are acquired as quickly as possible post-exercise to more accurately diagnose cardiovascular disease in patients. | 09-05-2013 |

20130014746 | SOLAR RECEIVER, PARTICULARLY OF THE TYPE FOR PARABOLIC LINEAR SOLAR CONCENTRATORS AND THE LIKEAANM Simonetti; TancrediAACI ThieneAACO ITAAGP Simonetti; Tancredi Thiene ITAANM Salinari; PieroAACI FirenzeAACO ITAAGP Salinari; Piero Firenze ITAANM Ronda; GiovanniAACI ThieneAACO ITAAGP Ronda; Giovanni Thiene IT - A solar receiver, particularly of the type for parabolic linear solar concentrators comprising a receiver tube, for the circulation of a heat transfer fluid, which is supported in a longitudinally adaptable manner in a shell that comprises a shielding body provided with a longitudinal slit, and at least one lens for closing the slit, which is permeable to the solar radiation that during use is reflected toward the receiver tube by a concentrator mirror, with which the shell is associated during use. Between the receiver tube and the shell an annular chamber is provided, which contains a preselected thermally insulating gas, at an operating pressure substantially comprised between 1 mbar and 31 mbar, the preselected gas having a thermal conductivity of substantially less than 0.01 W/mK at the operating temperature at the operating pressure. | 01-17-2013 |
