Patents by Inventor Wolfgang Dreher

Wolfgang Dreher 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).

  • Publication number: 20060139027
    Abstract: In a spectroscopic magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus, one or both of an SSFP-RF FID-like signal and an SSFP-RF echo-like signal are read out in one or two readout windows. The readout of this signal or these signals can take place with or without the presence of a magnetic field gradient.

  • Patent number: 6640125
    Abstract: In a spectroscopic imaging method for a magnetic resonance apparatus, an excitation radio-frequency pulse having a flip angle of approximately 90° is emitted, followed by transmission of a rephasing radio-frequency pulse having a flip angle of 180°, activation of a phase-coding gradient, and activation of a readout gradient and acquisition of a magnetic resonance signal. The following steps are then executed at least three times. A rephasing radio-frequency pulse having a flip angle of 180° and having a 90° phase offset in relation to a chronologically immediately preceding rephasing radio-frequency pulse is emitted, and the readout gradient is activated and a magnetic resonance signal is acquired.
