  • Publication number: 20240077564
    Abstract: A method of using NC-MRA to generate pelvic veins images and measure rate of blood flow includes subjecting a lay patient to undergo magnetic resonance scan in cooperation with an ECG monitor and a respiration monitor; scanning coronary sections and transverse sections of kidney veins, lower cavity veins, common iliac veins, and external iliac veins to generate two-dimensional images wherein the two-dimensional images use balanced turbo field echo wave sequence; scanning coronary sections of common cardinal veins of abdominal cavity to generate three-dimensional images wherein the three-dimensional images use fast spin-echo short tau inversion recovery wave sequence and sample signals when the ECG monitor monitors myocardial contractility; and using quantification phase-contrast analysis to measure blood flowing through the transverse sections of the veins in a two-dimensional scan.

  • Patent number: 9887712
    Abstract: A wideband front-end device comprises a wideband amplifying module and a plurality of narrow band filters. The wideband amplifying module comprises an input end, a plurality connecting ends and at least one receiving end. A wideband transmitting RF signal can be transmitted to one of the connecting ends from the input end according to the frequency band thereof. Thus, the wideband transmitting RF signal can be divided into several narrow band signals with different frequency bands. Each narrow band signal with different frequency bands is transmitted to different connecting ends and narrow band filters respectively. Therefore, each narrow band filter can be used to filter wideband transmitting RF signal or narrow band signals with different frequency bands respectively to reduce production costs of the wideband front-end device.
