  • Publication number: 20240125878
    Abstract: In separating water and fat with applying the Dixon method, peak intensities of fat with multiple peaks are individually calculated with a high degree of accuracy while reducing the number of variables to be estimated. Multiple images made up of signals acquired at different echo times (TEs) are used to solve a predetermined signal equation (signal model) expressing the relation between the pixel values (signal values) of the images and imaging parameters such as signal intensities of components and TE, thereby performing separation of signals for each component. For separating the signals, at least one of the variables (other than the signal intensity) included in the signal equation is subjected to a process (first estimation process) for refining a value roughly obtained, and then using thus refined value of the variable to estimate (second estimation process) other variables (including the signal intensity), the signals are separated.

  • Publication number: 20020164379
    Abstract: An oxygen-rich ophthalmic composition characterized in that it comprises oxygen and/or oxygen donor, wherein the amount of oxygen and/or oxygen contained in oxygen donor is 10 mg or above per liter of the ophthalmic composition, or the content of oxygen is at least 90% of the saturated dissolved oxygen, which composition is useful in prevention, alleviation, or treatment of ocular diseases, especially corneal diseases or disorders.

  • Patent number: 5266497
    Abstract: An immunochromatography which comprises chromatographically moving a sample together with or followed by labelling fine particles in a chromatographic medium having at least one reaction site having immobilized thereat a reagent bindable to a substance to be detected in a sample, to contact the above sample and the labelling fine particles with the above reaction site, and detecting the substance to be detected by use of the phenomenon that when the above substance to be detected is present in the sample the labelling fine particles are specifically bound to the above immobilized reagent via the substance to be detected at the above reaction site, to thereby capture the substance to be detected on the chromatographic medium, characterized in that the above labelling fine particles are sensitized dyed particles obtained by sensitizing, with a material bindable to the above substance to be detected, labelling dyed particles obtained by dyeing latex particles of a synthetic high polymer, said labelling dyed part
