Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090219023Method of and Software Application for Quantifying Objects in Magnetic Resonance Images via Multiple Complex Summations - A method comprises digitally representing a volume of space as a plurality of voxels and assigning real and imaginary values derived from magnetic resonance imaging data of the space to each of the voxels. Furthermore, the method comprises a steps of calculating a first complex summation of the real and imaginary values of a first set of the voxels, and calculating a second complex summation of the real and imaginary values of a second set of the voxels. Each set of voxels represents a different region of the volume of space. The regions are concentric. The method also comprises steps of using the first and second summations, along with another value quantitatively calculated from the magnetic resonance imaging data, to calculate a value that is dependent upon the approximate magnetic moment of an object within the volume of space, and digitally representing and storing said value.09-03-2009
20090261824Geometry Based Field Prediction Method for Susceptibility Mapping and Phase Artifact Removal - The present invention provides a method of handling rapid phase aliasing in magnetic resonance images arising from local magnetic susceptibility differences. The methods of the present invention can be used to estimate the field effects within an object arising from the interfaces of regions having differences in magnetic susceptibilities, and to subtract out the resulting phase from the original or source phase data prior to any further phase processing. The methods of the present invention also include a process of accurately determining the susceptibility values of multiple voxel regions based on the geometry of such regions.10-22-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090102481COMPLEX THRESHOLD METHOD FOR REDUCING NOISE IN NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGES - A method of removing noise while preserving signal in nuclear magnetic resonance images combines steps of performing a magnitude threshold filter and performing a phase threshold filter on the image data. Preferably, a magnitude and phase connectivity algorithm is applied to pixels that fail to meet either the magnitude or phase thresholds.04-23-2009
