20090143672METHOD FOR MAPPING IMAGE REFERENCE POINTS TO FACILITATE BIOPSY USING MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING - In NMR/MRI imaging, a location is noted for a point in the imaged space, and referred to a reference location so that the point in imaged space is known thereafter, without the need to locate the point again in further imaging steps. For breast cancer diagnosis and biopsy, a breast holding fixture immobilizes the breast. A volumetric image is taken encompassing a portion of the breast. In the same or a subsequent image, a fiducial mark is detected to determine the position of a holder for a biopsy tool or other modality. The tissue feature can be a tumor, cyst or tubal lesion, made temporarily visible in the image by perfusion with a contrast agent. After the contrast agent dissipates, the location of the tissue feature can still be determined by reference to the position of the fiducial marker, which is optional adjustable by post-imaging metered displacement.06-04-2009
20100145185EXTENDING THE RESOLUTION OF MRI DATA BY COMBINING SUBSETS FROM PLURAL IMAGE ACQUISITIONS - An MRI image from spiral trajectory scanning is arranged as complementary subsets of values in time-sampled k-space. These values are Fourier transformed to produce a spatial domain image. While holding the patient stationary, the contrast information is updated at the central portion of k-space, and the peripheral portion of k-space data can be filled during the whole image acquisition. The contrast information is combined with the peripheral portion of k-space (contributing to image resolution) to construct a full k-space data and to generate a spatial image. The technique is useful for providing short time interval sampling when analyzing the take-up and fade-away of a contrast agent over time.06-10-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080242606Use of IMP3 as a Prognostic Marker for Cancer - Provided herein are methods and compositions for the prognostic evaluation of a patient suspected of having, or having, cancer by assessing the expression of IMP3 in a biological sample of a patient. Methods can be used at the time of initial diagnosis of malignant tumors to identify a group of patients with a high potential to develop progression or metastasis later. Therefore, methods not only are able to provide very useful prognostic information for patients but also can help clinicians to select a candidate patient likely to benefit from early and aggressive cancer therapy. Methods and compositions for the treatment of cancer associated with expression of IMP3 are also provided.10-02-2008
