  • Reduced specific absorption ratio T-weighted MRI
    Patent number: 7116104
    Abstract: Provided is a T1?-weighted pulse sequence with reduced specific absorption rate for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Also provided is a method of reducing the specific absorption rate in T1?-weighted MRI.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2006
    Assignee: The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania
    Inventors: Ravinder Reddy, Ari Borthakur, Andrew J. Wheaton, Sridhar R. Charagundla
  • Pulse imaging sequences and methods for T1p-weighted MRI
    Patent number: 6836114
    Abstract: Provided are pulse imaging sequences and methods for 2D multi-slice T1&rgr;-weighted and 3D T1&rgr;-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Further provided is a self-compensating spin-locking sequence for correcting and reducing artifacts in T1&rgr;-weighted imaging. Also provided is a sequence combining 3D T1&rgr;-weighted MRI with a self-compensating spin-locking pulse for facilitating T1&rgr;-weighted imaging with surface coils.
