More Accurate Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) |
|
|
MRS takes data using a standard MRI scanner in a way that proton spectroscopy can be used to identify brain metabolites and their concentration. It is not yet completely accepted by clinicians, in part because of concern over MRS accuracy.
The transformational algorithm we have developed is based on the complex-valued nature of the data, instead of only its absolute value. This enables a much simpler, faster algorithm with many advantages. Currently, Ocius Technologies is preparing a joint NIH STTR application for funding. This project is a cooperative project headed by CTO Dale Mugler and medical personnel from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. |
