Abstract: Disclosed here is a scanning probe microscope system and method for operating the same for producing scanning probe microscope images at fast scan rates and reducing oscillation artifacts. In some embodiments, an inverse consistent image registration method is used to align forward and backward scan traces for each line of the scanning microscope image. In some embodiments, the aligned forward and backward scan traces are combined using a weighting factor favoring the scan trace with higher smoothness. In some embodiments, the scanning probe microscope image is a potentiometry map and a method is provided to extract from the potentiometry map a conductivity map.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the presence of anomalous material within tissue is detected by scanning a patient using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to obtain MRI data, identifying individual voxels of the MRI data, identifying multiple parameters of each voxel, and determining as to each voxel based upon the identified parameters the likelihood of tissue represented by the voxel containing anomalous material.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a method and apparatus for producing sensitivity maps with respect to medical imaging. The subject invention relates to a method for applying an inpainting model to correct images in parallel imaging. Some images, such as coil sensitivity maps and intensity correction maps, have no signal at some places and may have noise. Advantageously, the subject invention allows an accurate method to fill in holes in sensitivity maps, where holes can arise when, for example, the pixel intensity magnitudes for two images being used to create the sensitivity map are zero. A specific embodiment of the subject invention can accomplish de-noise, interpolation, and extrapolation simultaneously for these types of maps such that the local texture can be carefully protected.
