3T Sodium and Proton Composite Array for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Invention SummaryBreast cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting women and is a leading cause of mortality. Early diagnosis, early treatment, and early assessment of treatment can dramatically increase survival rates. While mammography is typically used to detect breast cancer, contrast-enhanced proton MRI has been shown to be more sensitive....

Cone-Beam Reconstruction Using the Backprojection of Locally Filtered Projections

Invention SummaryTechnology for X-ray detection in cone-beam geometry is rapidly improving and offers more and more potential for the construction of robust computed tomography systems for high-resolution volume imaging. In order to optimally build such systems, the problem of cone-beam image reconstruction needs to be understood. Our technology consists...

Method for Diagnosing Bipolar Disorder Using 31-Phosphorus Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging of the Brain

Invention Summary: Research from several scientific disciplines has implicated mitochondrial dysfunction, and consequent impaired energy supply in the brain, in the neurobiology of Bipolar Disorder (BD). The levels of phosphorus chemicals in the brain are indices of mitochondrial functioning. 31-phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS)...

Head and Neck Positioning System for Repeatable Head and Neck MR Imaging

Invention Summary: University of Utah researchers have developed an exciting new device and method for supporting and positioning the human head and neck for repeatable MR imaging. This device is especially useful for repositioning the head for carotid artery studies where even a small difference in head position can render imaging results useless....

Data Reordering for Improved Reconstruction of MRI Data

Invention Description: This invention describes a novel method to improve the reconstruction of images from sparse multi-image MRI data. By using appropriate constraints along with reordering data from multiple images, data obtained from variable density undersampling or training data may be used even though it is a lower resolution. This method...

A Real-Time Navigated Singleshot Acquisition Technique for High Resolution 3D MR Imaging

Invention Summary: The technology presents two techniques to improve the spatial resolution, quality, and the accuracy of diffusion weighted (DWI) and diffusion-tensor MR imaging (DTI). Artifacts induced by susceptibility variations near the tissue interfaces and the subject's motion during data acquisition are the factors that limit the spatial...
