  • Post-acquisition adaptive reconstruction of MRI data
    Patent number: 8509513
    Abstract: An improved method for reconstruction of medical images includes the acquisition of k-space data through MRI imaging. Subsequently, subsets of the k-space data are transformed into intermediate images by performing an inverse Fourier transform on selected sets. These intermediate images are saved to a PACS or other memory storage, and can be recalled later to reconstruct an image. By selecting various intermediate images, a user can vary both the spatial and temporal resolution of the reconstructed image after acquisition, thereby providing adaptive reconstruction of images without the need to acquire new data.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 13, 2013
    Assignee: Hologic, Inc.

  • Acquiring contrast-enhanced, T1 weighted, cine magnetic resonance images
    Patent number: 7809426
    Abstract: A method of magnetic resonance imaging of anatomy that is subject to a movement cycle (e.g., the heart during a cardiac cycle), comprising: administering a magnetic resonance contrast agent; waiting a period of time until the contrast agent is effective to cause selected portions of the anatomy (e.g.
