  • MRI imaging and contrast method
    Patent number: 9632158
    Abstract: A novel MRI contrast technique enables to observe tissue properties not observable by previously known MRI methods. A difference between two disclosed pulse sequences is used to measure magnetization exchange time between water molecules and macromolecules such as proteins, thereby producing a measure highly sensitive to tissue changes resulting from coagulation, yet relatively insensitive to temperature fluctuations. This result is applied to an imaging method and provides direct visualization of the effects of surgical thermal ablation procedures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2017
    Assignee: Ramot at Tel-Aviv University Ltd.
    Inventors: Dina Carasso, Uzi Eliav, Gil Navon
