Melanie Schmitt has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Dielectric element and method for generating a magnetic resonance image therewith
    Patent number: 7634303
    Abstract: A dielectric element is formed of a dielectric material exhibiting a magnetic resonance relaxation time, with a relaxation agent incorporated in the dielectric material that reduces the relaxation time of the dielectric material. The dielectric element is adapted for placement on a subject while magnetic resonance data are acquired from the subject, and locally influences the B1 field distribution in the subject during the acquisition of magnetic resonance data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 26, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2009
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Yvonne Candidus, Thorsten Feiweier, Wilhelm Horger, Jürgen Huber, Razvan Lazar, Melanie Schmitt, Lothar Schön
