20080249927REMITTANCE RECIPIENT/SENDER NAME ON SENDER/RECIPIENT MONTHLY STATEMENT - A method includes receiving at an issuer computer at least one message relating to a funds transfer routed to the issuer computer by a payment system. The message(s) include information indicative of the name of an individual who initiated the funds transfer. The issuer computer is operated by or on behalf of an issuer of payment card accounts. The funds transfer is credited to a payment cared account issued by the issuer to a recipient of the funds transfer. A periodic statement is generated concerning transactions charged or credited to the recipient's payment card account. The periodic statement includes an entry for the funds transfer. The entry includes the name the individual who initiated the funds transfer. Similarly, the name of the recipient of a funds transfer may appear on the periodic payment card account statement for a sender of the funds transfer.10-09-2008

20100286504Contrast Enhanced MRA With Highly Constrained Backprojection Reconstruction Using Phase Contrast Composite Image - Mask projection views are obtained prior to the arrival of a contrast agent during a dynamic contrast enhanced MRA study. After the arrival of the contrast agent, a set of undersampled contrast enhanced projection views are obtained for each of a plurality of time frames. Corresponding mask projection views are subtracted from the contrast enhanced projection views to provide sparse contrast enhanced projection view sets. A phase contrast scan of a region of interest is performed prior to or after the arrival of the contrast agent. The phase contrast image is used as a composite image in a HYPR reconstruction of the sparse projection view sets to produce first pass contrast enhanced images. Iterative HYPR reconstructions can also be performed to remove venous information from the reconstructed images.11-11-2010
