  • Method and apparatus for enhanced in vivo MRI imaging
    Patent number: 8466678
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of abnormal tissues of the present invention utilizing a magnetic resonance imaging system in communication with a computer. The apparatus is configured to define a confidence region using a probability based confidence interval calculation such as multivariate or bivariate analysis for at least two parameters in a normal tissue sample by making a magnetic resonance image, and then to evaluate a second sample by making a magnetic resonance image. Parameters detectable by magnetic resonance imaging 3 are selected from t1, t2, t2*, signal intensity, and diffusion.
    Type: Grant
