19 results about "Hyperintensity" patented technology

Hyperintensities refer to areas of high intensity on types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the human brain or that of other mammals that reflect lesions produced largely by demyelination and axonal loss. These small regions of high intensity are observed on T2 weighted MRI images (typically created using 3D FLAIR) within cerebral white matter (white matter lesions, white matter hyperintensities or WMH) or subcortical gray matter (gray matter hyperintensities or GMH). They are usually seen in normal aging but also in a number of neurological disorders and psychiatric illnesses. For example, deep white matter hyperintensites are 2.5 to 3 times more likely to occur in bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder than control subjects. WMH volume, calculated as a potential diagnostic measure, has been shown to correlate to certain cognitive factors. Hyperintensities appear as "bright signals" (bright areas) on an MRI image and the term "bright signal" is occasionally used as a synonym for a hyperintensity.

Low field magnetic resonance imaging stroke identification sequence and device for identifying the low field magnetic resonance imaging stroke identification sequence

PendingUS20250362365A1SensorsMeasurements using NMR imaging systemsInversion recoveryMedicine
A low field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stroke identification sequence uses an inversion recovery sequence. TE is set to the minimum or near-minimum value achievable by a system to minimize an impact of T2 effect on a signal S. Additionally, it selects combinations of TR values and corresponding TI values to make signal from cerebral hemorrhage appear as high signal, and signals from cerebral infarct tissue and cerebral parenchyma appear as isointense or low signal. This allows for rapid and accurate determination of hemorrhagic stroke and, by utilizing low-field magnetic resonance, enhances the accessibility for patients.

An OCT-based attenuation imaging method

The present invention provides an OCT-based attenuation imaging method, which limits the calculation of OAC within a local area of the same type of medium, avoiding the influence on the OAC result caused by the differences in BsAR of different media. When calculating the OAC of a complex sample with multiple layers of media using the traditional DR method, deviations will occur. This is mainly manifested in that when there is an ultra-high or ultra-low signal in the deep layer of the medium, it will affect the OAC of the shallow layer of the medium. If there is an ultra-high signal in the deep layer, the OAC result of the shallow layer will be on the low side; on the contrary, if there is an ultra-low signal in the deep layer, the OAC result of the shallow layer will be on the high side. The method of the present invention solves the problem of estimating the remaining light intensity based on local data by limiting the calculation of OAC within a local area containing only the same type of medium. Thus, the calculation of OAC is not interfered by other layers of media, and the calculation result is more accurate.
