Nina Menezes 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).

  • Magnetic resonance spatial risk map for tissue outcome prediction
    Patent number: 7904135
    Abstract: Diffusion weighted images and perfusion weighted images are acquired with an MRI system and used to produce low b, DWI, ADC, CBV, CBF, and MTT images of brain tissues following an ischemic event. These MRI physiological measurements are input along with a spatial location measurement to a generalized linear model that predicts the outcome of tissues surrounding a lesion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 4, 2006
    Date of Patent: March 8, 2011
    Assignee: General Hospital Corporation
    Inventors: Nina Menezes, Alma Gregory Sorensen

  • Tissue disorder imaging analysis
    Publication number: 20060142983
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for quantitatively determining a score (150) for a patient having a disorder, e.g., a stroke, in a tissue, such as the brain, by analyzing both the extent and location of damage (110, 120, 130 AND 140) to the tissue caused by the disorder.
