System and Method for Streak Reduction in MRI
This technology is a new technique for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction that reduces or eliminates streaking in radial MRI images without significant signal loss. It can be used on its own or working together with existing streak reduction techniques, such as iterative reconstruction.
Background:
Radial sampling (as opposed to Cartesian...

Radial Streaking Artifact Reduction Using Phased Array Beamforming
This invention is a method and software for mitigating the streaking artifact in radial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After being tested on MRI scanners and compared to current coil based methods, this new method, known as B-STAR, utilizes phased array beamforming and reduces streak artifacts without any noticeable loss in signal levels.

Radial Fast Spin-Echo (FSE) MRI Pulse Sequence
This invention is a software method that combines radial imaging (taking MRI data radially--from the center, out) with fast spin-echo (FSE) imaging to create faster, more accurate images.
This technology has been demonstrated to effectively image human brains, abdominal regions, and livers.
Background:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a very useful...
