  • Publication number: 20240125725
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a method, system, and apparatus for distinguishing between isotopically substituted liquids, such as H2O and D2O, and sensing other isotopologues of water, such as H218O. In an embodiment, the electrical output characteristics of the apparatus or device are used as diagnostic signals to distinguish between isotopic compositions and isotopologues of a liquid. In an embodiment, water droplets with volume of several micro litre are applied to the apparatus or device generating some electrical signals which show differences between the application of H2O and D2O, for example. One advantage of the present method and system is that the configuration is simple and portable, with no need for complicated equipment and operation protocols.

  • Publication number: 20220346659
    Abstract: Radiomic analysis of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) and magnetic resonance fingerprinting (“MRF”) data enhances delineation and mapping of tumor regions. Radiomic features are extracted from MRI and MRF tumor images. Distinct tumor regions, including but not limited to necrotic core, enhancing tumor, and peritumoral white matter, are segmented and mapped. Whole tumor as well as tumor region characteristics are evaluated. Tumors can also be differentiated and classified by pathology, grading, staging, and so on.
