Brian E. Busse, Madison, WI US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090301031Wrap Removal System - A wrap removal system for removing a film wrap from a load on a conveyor, the wrap removal system including an upright support member, a beam coupled to an upper extent of the support member for movement along a height of the support member, a gripper assembly coupled to the beam and operable to engage the film wrap to create a space between the load and the film wrap, and a cutter assembly.12-10-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080275329Diffusion weighted preparatory sequence for magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequence - A preparatory pulse sequence is applied prior to an imaging pulse sequence during a diffusion-weighted MRI scan. The preparatory pulse sequence diffusion weights the longitudinal magnetization using a gradient waveform that is first moment nulled to reduce image artifacts caused by patient motion.11-06-2008

20090082656METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACQUIRING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING DATA - A multi-shot three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data view-ordering strategy for uniform or variable density k-space sampling schemes is presented. The k03-26-2009
20090184711SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MR IMAGING IN INHOMOGENEOUS MAGNETIC FIELDS - An apparatus and method for MR imaging in inhomogeneous magnetic fields includes acquisition of a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) MR data sets, each data set having a central transmit frequency and a central receive frequency set to a frequency offset that is distinct for each 3D MR data set. A composite image is generated based on the plurality of 3D MR data sets.07-23-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080319301METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A FLIP ANGLE SCHEDULE FOR A SPIN ECHO TRAIN PULSE SEQUENCE - A method for calculating a flip angle schedule for a train of refocusing radio frequency (RF) pulses with reduced flip angles allows control of RF power deposition and use of a longer echo train. A target signal is defined for each echo in the echo train, and flip angles are then calculated from the target signals. The target signal schedule includes two phases. In the first phase, the target signals drop asymptotically to efficiently establish a pseudo-steady state at a pre-defined minimum signal level, S12-25-2008

20110241676ACCELERATED PSEUDO-RANDOM DATA MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD - The present disclosure is intended to describe embodiments for improving image data acquisition and processing in accelerated dynamic magnetic resonance imaging sequences. One embodiment is described where a method includes an acquisition sequence configured to acquire an undersampled set of magnetic resonance data. The undersampled set of magnetic resonance data has a pseudo-random sampling pattern within a data space acquired at a first time, the pseudo-random sampling pattern being influenced by other pseudo-random sampling patterns within the data space arising from the acquisition of additional undersampled sets of magnetic resonance data at respective times. In some embodiments, the pseudo-random sampling patterns of the undersampled sets of magnetic resonance data interleave to yield a desired sampling pattern.10-06-2011
