  • System and method for correcting attenuation in hybrid medical imaging
    Patent number: 9453922
    Abstract: A hybrid medical imaging system comprises a nuclear medicine imaging subsystem for capturing an image of a target region of a subject, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) subsystem for capturing an MRI image of the target region based on at least one MRI parameter and processing structure communicating with the subsystems. The processing structure processes the MRI image to estimate attenuation within the target region and uses the estimated attenuation to correct the image captured by the nuclear medicine imaging subsystem.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 27, 2016
    Assignee: Multi-Magnetics Incorporated
    Inventors: Robert Z. Stodilka, Jean Theberge, Benoit Lewden, Frank S. Prato, R. Terry Thompson
