CT Image Single Display and Contrast Enhancement
The Invention An improved algorithm for handling CT scan information which enables the display of all relevant anatomical features in a single image. Potential Applications CT scans are a basic tool of most medical centers and are in constant use. An improved algorithm for simultaneous viewing of all relevant anatomical features would not only save […] Read More >
An MRI technique for imaging of pathologies of collagen, myelin and amyloid plaques
The TechnologyCharacterization of pathologies related to macromolecules (MM) can now be carried out in a more comprehensive manner using these new MRI sequences. For example: Collagen in connective tissue and myelin in the nerves of brain and spinal cord are imaged with intensity proportional to the amount of MM. These pulsing sequences emphasize white matter […] Read More >
Quantitative confluency measurement of culture growth
The invention is an image processing method of light microscopy images for the purpose of quantifying density of cells in cultures . A grayscale image of a cell culture is digitally captured using a light microscope and a CCD camera. Our method evaluates the culture’s confluency using an image processing algorithm on the image which […] Read More >
Companding Roentgen Images and MRI
Robust Adaptive Features Tracking (RAFT) –with application for cardiac MRI (CMRI) stabilizationA generic and innovative approach for highly-sensitive deformable feature tracking, which can be used for medical-image stabilization (e.g. CMRI, PCI).Optimization of medical-images such as Cardiac-MRI (CMRI, TC-short-axis slice) and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is regarded as a difficult problem, due to diaphragm and cardiac […] Read More >
An Add-On Optical Interferometer Chamber to Phase Microscopes for Sub-Nanometer 3D and Dynamic Information
TechnologyAn add-on optical module for microscopes allowing for single frame and dynamic capture of amplitude and phase profiles of transparent or semi-transparent biological and non-biological samples. This easyto-use interferometric device is simply positioned in the camera port of a conventional inverted microscope, enabling quantitative structural, thickness and refractive index measurements in a noncontact, label-free manner.

Bypassing Obstacles in MRI Guided Ultrasound
The TechnologyAn optic holographic technique, used to reduce acoustic energy density on obstacles inside a high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) path. The holograms are generated using a newly developed algorithm, based on the Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm and fit to the linear acoustical equations used in ultrasound (US) intensity patterns. The Need In HIFU a focused ultrasound […] Read More >
MRI Radiofrequency (RF) Coil with Efficient Excitation and Reception Neuronal Water Molecules
The TechnologyA simple-designed RF resonator which can be used to provide a substantially homogeneous RF magnetic field in an MRI apparatus. The homogeneity of the RF field is achieved by a judicious selection of both the electrical setup connected to conductive elements (e.g., electronic circuitry), and the geometrical characteristics (e. g., profile shape, dimensions, etc.) […] Read More >
Whole Brain Visualization of Distinct Cortical Layers by MRI
The TechnologyAn MRI platform including an imaging protocol and analysis software enabling in-vivo visualization, characterization and measurement of the distinct layers of the human cortex including width in 3D. The imaging protocol utilizes inversion recovery (IR-MRI) pulse sequencing. A set of inversion times, identified and correlated to the different cortical layers provides the sought distinction […] Read More >
Video stabilizer for Cardiac-MRI (CMRI) perfusion
TechnologySeveral Cardiac-MRI (CMRI) sequences are influenced by diaphragm body motion throughout the respiratory and cardiac cycles. Stabilizing these videos might allow a better medical diagnosis by radiologists. Video-stabilization and ROI-tracking are well-known problems in computer-vision, with many practical applications. However these two problems become even more challenging for medical gray videos, in which separating ROI […] Read More >
Multi-Modal Deep Neural Networks for Multi-Sequence MRI Guided Procedures
Image guided surgery is becoming the standard for high accuracy, low risk procedures. In this context, MRI is often the imaging modality of choice since it provides unrivalled contrast between soft tissues and consequently best detectability of the procedure target. MRI is conceptually a multi-sequence technique in which multiple scans providing complementary information are used […] Read More >
