US Patent Issued to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation on July 28 for "T1rho dispersion characterization by magnetic resonance fingerprinting" (Ohio Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,693,361, issued on July 28, was assigned to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (Cleveland).

"T1rho dispersion characterization by magnetic resonance fingerprinting" was invented by Xiaojuan Li (Cleveland), Brendan Eck (Cleveland) and Jeehun Kim (Cleveland).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is used to quantify T1Rho dispersion across spin-lock frequencies and enables simultaneous mapping of T1, T2, and T1Rho dispersion. T1Rho at a specific FSL may be determined by retrospectively computation based on the results of the T1Rho dispersion MRF dictionary and pattern matching results. The T1Rho dispersion chara...
