  • Method of performing MRI with an atomic magnetometer
    Patent number: 8519705
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for performing an in-situ magnetic resonance imaging of an object. The method includes the steps of providing an atomic magnetometer, coupling a magnetic field generated by magnetically resonating samples of the object through a flux transformer to the atomic magnetometer and measuring a magnetic resonance of the atomic magnetometer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 27, 2013
    Assignee: Los Alamos National Security, LLC
    Inventors: Igor Mykhaylovich Savukov, Andrei Nikolaevich Matlashov, Michelle A. Espy, Petr Lvovich Volegov, Robert Henry Kraus, Jr., Vadim Sergeyevich Zotev
  • Ultra-low field nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging to discriminate and identify materials
    Patent number: 8390286
    Abstract: Method comprising obtaining an NMR measurement from a sample wherein an ultra-low field NMR system probes the sample and produces the NMR measurement and wherein a sampling temperature, prepolarizing field, and measurement field are known; detecting the NMR measurement by means of inductive coils; analyzing the NMR measurement to obtain at least one measurement feature wherein the measurement feature comprises T1, T2, T1?, or the frequency dependence thereof; and, searching for the at least one measurement feature within a database comprising NMR reference data for at least one material to determine if the sample comprises a material of interest.
