  • Activity MRI
    Patent number: 11728038
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage media and systems are described for constructing a three-dimensional electronic library of simulated decays of the diffusion-weighted 1H2O MR signal in b-space. Methods, computer-readable media, and systems are described for preparing a parametric tissue map for tissue in a subject. Computer readable media, having an electronic library of simulated decays of the diffusion-weighted 1H2O signal in b-space and method of using such a library.

  • Low temperature susceptibility compensation
    Publication number: 20050062022
    Abstract: An composition exhibiting a desired value of magnetic susceptibility, which can be used to fabricate components in an NMR device, and method thereof, wherein the composition comprises a metal ion selected from the group consisting of Gd+3, Fe+3 and Mn+2 and an amorphous material using a ligand or chelating agent to solubilize the metal ion throughout the marphous material, wherein the magnetic susceptibility of the composition exhibits a desired value at cryogenic temperatures such as nearly zero susceptibility at temperatures at or below 77° K.
