  • Systems and methods for shortened look locker inversion recovery (Sh-MOLLI) cardiac gated mapping of T1
    Patent number: 9285446
    Abstract: A shortened version of the MOLLI sequence (Sh-MOLLI) is described which generates rapid and high-resolution myocardial spin-lattice (T1) maps. The Sh-MOLLI technique is based on a significant abbreviation of pre-existing TI sampling scheme combined with the use of processing logic to bypass the major side effects of the above sampling scheme abbreviation and distinguish between long and short T1 relaxation times in order to conditionally utilize available TI samples for non-linear T1 fitting.
    Type: Grant

  • Color map design method for assessment of the deviation from established normal population statistics and its application to quantitative medical images
    Publication number: 20130322713
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing color maps for use in medical imaging are described for assessment of the deviation from established normal population statistics and application to quantitative medical imaging. Statistical descriptors are used to determine the color lookup table to be applied to the medical image in order to create a meaningful color map, in particular dedicated to assess the extent of deviation from the normal range.
