  • System for detecting malignant lymph nodes using an MR imaging device
    Patent number: 8452065
    Abstract: A system detects malignant lymph nodes using an MR imaging device, for, in the absence of a contrast agent, acquiring in a patient anatomical volume of interest including lymph nodes, (a) a first image using a variable flip angle, lymph node enhanced contrast, MR image acquisition process, (b) a second image using a susceptibility weighting imaging acquisition process and (c) a third image using a diffusion weighting imaging acquisition process. In the presence of a contrast agent absorbed by benign lymph nodes, MR imaging device acquires in the patient anatomical volume of interest, (d) a fourth image using a susceptibility weighting imaging acquisition process. A display processor processes data representing the first, second, third and fourth images for display of malignant and benign lymph nodes on a reproduction device.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LYMPH NODE IMAGING USING CO-REGISTRATION OF CT AND MR IMAGERY
    Publication number: 20090024022
    Abstract: A method for imaging lymph nodes includes acquiring first magnetic resonance (MR) image data pertaining to a subject prior to administration of lymphotropic nanoparticles. Second MR image data pertaining to the subject is acquired after administration of lymphotropic nanoparticles. The first and second MR image data are registered using non-rigid registration.
