Patent number: 11933866Abstract: Apparatus for operating MRI is disclosed. The apparatus comprises: a control for operating an MRI scanner to carry out an MRI scan; an input for receiving first and second MRI scans respectively at the beginning and end of a predetermined time interval post contrast administration; a subtraction map former for forming a subtraction map from the first and the second MRI scans by analyzing the scans to distinguish between a population in which contrast clearance from the tissue is slower than contrast accumulation, and a population in which clearance is faster than accumulation; and an output to provide an indication of distribution of the populations. The control is configured to carry out the first scan at least five minutes and no more than twenty minutes post contrast administration and to carry out the second scan such that the predetermined time period is at least twenty minutes.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignees: Tel Hashomer Medical Research Infrastructure and Services Ltd., Ramot at Tel-Aviv University Ltd.Inventors: Yael Mardor, Leor Zach, David Guez, David Last, Dianne Daniels Elmakias

Publication number: 20240029249Abstract: A method of analyzing CT data comprises receiving data describing a pre-contrast administration CT scan from a body region of the subject, and a post-contrast administration CT scan acquired from the body region at least 1 minute after initiation of administration of a contrast agent to the subject. A subtraction map is formed by subtracting one of the scans from another. The subtraction map is displayed in a manner that identifies leaking of contrast agent out of blood vessels in the region.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: Sheba Impact Ltd.Inventors: Yael MARDOR, David LAST, Dianne DANIELS ELMAKIAS, Shirley SHARABI, Jair BAR, Nadav FORIE, Liran LEVY, Edith Michelle MAROM

Patent number: 10970594Abstract: Apparatus for analyzing brain MRI, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an input for receiving a first and a second MRI scans at the beginning and end of a predetermined time interval post contrast administration; a subtraction map former for forming a subtraction map from said first and said second MRI scans by analyzing said scans to distinguish between two primary populations, a slow population, in which contrast clearance from the tissue is slower than contrast accumulation, and a fast population in which clearance is faster than accumulation; and an output to provide an indication of distribution of said two primary populations, wherein said predetermined time period is at least twenty minutes.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignees: Tel HaShomer Medical Research Infrastructure and Services Ltd., Ramot at Tel-Aviv University Ltd.Inventors: Leor Zach, David Guez, David Last, Dianne Daniels Elmakias, Yael Mardor, Shirley Sharabi, Noam Nissan, Miriam Sklair-Levy
