  • Nuclear magnetic resonance method for body composition analysis
    Patent number: 7366560
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for analyzing composition of a body part from nuclear magnetic resonance measurements made on the body part. The method includes exciting a predetermined sequence of nuclear magnetic resonance phenomena in the body part and measuring nuclear magnetic resonance signals from the body part. At least a part of the measured signals are composed into a measurement vector. The mass of the at least one constituent is determined as a predetermined function of the measurement vector. The predetermined function represents the at least one constituent and defines a standard for a range of at least one of compositional variations and temperature variations of the at least one constituent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 19, 2005
    Date of Patent: April 29, 2008
    Assignee: Echo Medical Systems, LLC
    Inventors: Gersh Z. Taicher, Arcady Reiderman, Israel Kovner
  • Method and apparatus for hazardous liquid detection
    Patent number: 7355402
    Abstract: A method for hazardous liquid detection within a container includes inducing a static magnetic field in the container, inducing a radio frequency magnetic field in the container at a frequency selected to excite nuclear magnetic resonance phenomena in liquids; detecting nuclear magnetic resonance signals from the container and analyzing the signals for presence of liquids above a threshold mass.

  • Apparatus and method for assessing body composition
    Publication number: 20080039708
    Abstract: A method for analyzing composition of a human body includes inducing a substantially homogeneous static magnetic field in the entire body. A substantially homogeneous radio frequency magnetic field is induced in the entire body so as to induce nuclear magnetic resonance effects in the body. Nuclear magnetic resonance signals emanating from the entire body are analyzed to determine body composition.
