  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging generating perfusion images with arterial spin labeling (ASL) and 3D radial pulse sequences
    Patent number: 9778333
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing acoustic noise in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are provided. One method includes applying a labeling phase of an arterial spin labeling (ASL) pulse sequence to a region of interest, applying a three-dimensional (3D) radial pulse sequence to the region of interest to generate a tag image, applying a control phase of the ASL pulse sequence to the region of interest, and applying the 3D radial pulse sequence to the region of interest to generate a control image.
    Type: Grant

  • SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CANCER IMAGING
    Publication number: 20080146914
    Abstract: A method for imaging cancer using a combined PET-MRI system takes advantage of the performance characteristics for both PET and MRI in the context of cancer imaging. MRI is used to assess a large area of the body with high sensitivity for cancer and PET is then used in localized areas of concern to provide physiological information. Optionally, MRI may also then be used to re-scan the localized areas of concern with high spatial resolution and additional tissue contrasts to provide anatomical information and soft tissue contrast to supplement the PET information. The use of a combined PET-MRI system ensures that the imaging data from both modalities is accurately referenced to the same locations in the body.
