Patents by Inventor Michael Rotman

Michael Rotman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11696700
    Abstract: K-space data obtained from a magnetic resonance imaging scan where motion was detected is split into two parts in accordance with the timing of the motion to produce first and second sets of k-space data corresponding to different poses. Sub-images are reconstructed from the k first and second sets of k-space data, which are used as inputs to a deep neural network which transforms them into a motion-corrected image.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2023
    Assignee: General Electric Company

  • Patent number: 10996306
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes control and analysis circuitry having programming to acquire magnetic resonance (MR) data using coil elements of the MRI system, analyze the MR data, and reconstruct the MR data into MR sub-images. The system also includes a trained neural network associated with the control and analysis circuitry to transform the MR sub-images into a prediction relating to a presence and extent of motion corruption in the MR sub-images. The programming of the control and analysis circuitry includes instructions to control operations of the MRI system based at least in part on the prediction of the trained neural network.

  • Publication number: 20200337592
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting, timing, and adapting to patient motion during an MR scan includes using the inconsistencies between calculated images from different coil-array elements to detect the presence of patient motion and, together with the k-space scan-order information, determine the timing of the motion during the scan. Once the timing is known, various actions may be taken, including restarting the scan, reacquiring those portions of k-space acquired before the movement, or correcting for the motion using the existing data and reconstructing a motion-corrected image from the data.
