Patent number: 12162354Abstract: Positional correction of an image occurring along with detection of a shift in vertical eye position unintended by the user is suppressed. First image correction corrects the position of an image displayed on a display device based on a vertical eye position and a lateral eye position. Second image correction corrects the position of the image displayed on the display device based on the vertical eye position and the lateral eye position. A second correction amount to the position of the image with respect to the amount of change in the vertical eye position is smaller than a first correction amount to the position of the image with respect to the amount of change in the vertical eye position during the first image correction. A processor switches between the first image correction and the second image correction in accordance with whether a prescribed condition is satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2022Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: NIPPON SEIKI CO., LTD.Inventor: Makoto Hada

Patent number: 12153114Abstract: A method for 3D oscillating-gradient prepared gradient spin-echo imaging and a device. The imaging method comprises the following steps: first, using a global saturation module to destroy previous residual transverse magnetization; second, embedding a pair of trapezoidal cosine oscillating gradients into a 90°x-180°y-90°?x radiofrequency pulse by a diffusion encoding module, to separate diffusion encoding from signal acquisition; then, using a fat saturation module to suppress a fat signal; finally, acquiring a signal by means of gradient spin-echo readout, and correcting phase errors among multiple excitations by multiplexed sensitivity-encoding reconstruction. Compared with a 2D plane echo-based oscillating gradient diffusion sequence used on a 3T clinical system, a 3D oscillating-gradient prepared gradient spin-echo sequence effectively reduces the imaging time, improves the signal to noise ratio, and is beneficial to clinical transformation of time-dependent diffusion MRI technology.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITYInventors: Dan Wu, Haotian Li, Yi Zhang
