    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of reconstructing magnetic resonance (MR) images of a subject is provided. The method includes executing a neural network model for analyzing MR images, wherein the neural network model is trained with a first subset of training MR images as inputs and a second subset of the training MR images as outputs, wherein each image in the first subset is acquired during a neighboring respiratory phase of at least one of the images in the second subset. The method further includes receiving MR signals, reconstructing crude MR images based on the MR signals, analyzing the crude MR images using the neural network model, deriving clear MR images based on the analysis, wherein the clear MR images include reduced artifacts, compared to the crude MR images, and outputting the clear MR images.

  • Patent number: 10823845
    Abstract: Systems and methods for radar systems to produce a radar image of a region of interest (ROI with targets. Sensors to transmit source signals to the ROI and to measure echoes reflected back from the targets corresponding to the transmitted source signals. A processor to calculate an estimate of a noisy and a partial Euclidean Distance Matrix (EDM) of the sensors and the targets.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for a radar system to produce a radar image of a region of interest (ROI). A set of antennas to transmit radar pulses to the ROI and to measure a set of reflections from the ROI corresponding to the transmitted radar pulses. A processor acquires an estimate of the radar image, by matching the reflections of the ROI measurements for each antenna. Determine a set of shifts of the radar image. Wherein each shift corresponds to an antenna, and is caused by an uncertainty in a position of the antenna. Update the estimate of the radar image, based on the determined set of shifts of the radar image. Wherein for each antenna, the estimate of the radar image is shifted by the determined shift of the radar image corresponding to the antenna, that fits the reflections of the ROI measurements of the antenna.

  • Patent number: 10571408
    Abstract: A method propagates a pulse of wave through the material to receive a set of echoes resulted from scattering the pulse by different portions of the material and simulates a propagation of the pulse in the material using a neural network to determine a simulated set of echoes. Each node in a layer of the neural network corresponds to a portion of the material and assigned a value the permittivity of the portion of the material, such that the values of the nodes at locations of the portions form the image of the distribution of the permittivity of the material. The connection between two layers in the neural network models a scattering event. The method updates the values of the nodes by reducing an error between the received set of echoes and the simulated set of echoes to produce an image of the distribution of the permittivity of the material.
