US Patent Issued to Duke University on Oct. 6 for "Magnetic resonance imaging methods for depicting mixtures of chemically shifted and on-resonance moieties" (North Carolina Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,754,268, issued on Oct. 6, was assigned to Duke University (Durham, N.C.).

"Magnetic resonance imaging methods for depicting mixtures of chemically shifted and on-resonance moieties" was invented by Raymond Kim (Durham, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The present disclosure describes, in part, a method for achieving depiction of mixtures of chemically shifted and on-resonance moieties using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. The method can use a steady-state free precession sequence that can be optimized so that the chemically shifted moiety is in an out-of-phase passband in relation to the on-resonance moiety. This feature ...
