  • Patent number: 11474177
    Abstract: In a method for MRI where k-space describing spatial frequencies in an acquisition volume (AV) is scanned, a first measured data acquisition is performed in the AV with a first gradient field strength of a gradient field, including irradiating a RF pulse into the AV and acquiring a first series of measured values spaced apart temporally, a second measured data acquisition is performed with a second, different gradient field strength, including irradiating a RF pulse into the AV and acquiring a second series of measured values spaced apart temporally. With the first measured data acquisition, the first measured values for a respective response signal are acquired at a first time interval from one another and with the second measured data acquisition, the second measured values for a respective response signal are acquired at a second, different time interval from one another.

  • Patent number: 10521911
    Abstract: A method of reviewing neural scans includes receiving at least one landmark corresponding to an anatomical region. A plurality of images of tissue including the anatomical region is received and a neural network configured to differentiate between healthy tissue and unhealthy tissue within the anatomical region is generated. The neural network is generated by a machine learning process configured to receive the plurality of images of tissue and generate a plurality of weighting factors configured to differentiate between healthy tissue and unhealthy tissue. At least one patient image of tissue including the anatomical region is received and a determination is made by the neural network whether the at least one patient image of tissue includes healthy or unhealthy tissue.
