  • Publication number: 20110280460
    Abstract: A method to quantify iron content or effective diameter of a localized iron source in an anatomical region of a subject is provided herein. The first step is to obtain a phase image from a magnetic resonance scan of the anatomical region of the subject. The next step is identifying a dipole pattern in the phase image corresponding to a localized iron source in the anatomical region. One or more than one image parameter of the dipole pattern is then measured and related to the iron content of the localized iron source.

  • Patent number: 7568181
    Abstract: A system for building interactive calculations on web pages, comprising a central processor for executing program instructions stored on computer readable media, interfaces in communication with the central processor, one or more computer readable media in communication with the central processor containing program instructions for executing a manager object for controlling the interaction of objects, one or more than one calculation objects (26, 28) in communication with the manager object, one or more than one input objects (14, 16, 18) controlling the model parameters, one or more than one output objects (20, 22, 24) displaying values of calculated variables, wherein the manager object, each of the input objects, and each of the output objects are coded with no model specific information, and model specific information is communicated through the manager object by parameter or variable name.
