Patent number: 12207911Abstract: The following relates generally to motion prediction in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In some embodiments, a “modular” approach is taken to motion correction. That is, individual motion sources (e.g., a patient's breathing, heartbeat, stomach contractions, peristalsis, and so forth) are accounted for individually in the motion correction. In some embodiments, to correct for a particular motion source, a reference state is created from a volume of interest (VOI), and other states are created and deformably aligned to the reference state.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANInventors: James Balter, Yue Cao, Lianli Liu, Adam Johansson

Patent number: 12201472Abstract: An ultrasound processing unit and method for use in ultrasound fetal monitoring are provided. The processing unit is configured to receive Doppler ultrasound data corresponding to one or more initial trial depth windows within the fetal region. From these, an ultrasound signal for each trial depth window is extracted. Unlike approaches of the state of the art that seek the optimum depth range based on signal strength, in the present disclosure a defined measure of statistical structure of the signal is computed for each depth signal, wherein the measure of statistical structure corresponds to an intrinsic statistical property or characteristic of the signal. A new recording window is then selected for acquiring a fetal heart rate signal, based on selecting a window which is estimated to maximize the measure of statistical structure of ultrasound signals derived from the new window.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventor: Christoph Florian Franck
