Technologies – Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Enhanced Magnetic Resonance
Imagingª for flow
systems upgrades signal processing software to enhance the resolution of
existing MRI equipment. This allows
flow studies inside the vascular tree, ranging from flow studies in the heart,
major arteries and through replacement devices (e.g., valves), to more delicate
studies of flow patterns in the brain. Xoetronics’ Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imagingª uses a proprietary Bayesian-based methodology of
conditional probabilities to enhance the resolution of Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) flow systems. The role of
dynamic imaging in medicine is constantly and briskly growing in importance as
a tool for diagnosis and research. Most
importantly is the role of flow studies inside the vascular tree: which range
from flow studies in the heart, major arteries, and through replacement devices
like valves, to more delicate studies of flow patterns in the brain. Typically, flow studies of smaller, deeper
vessels necessitate complicated invasive techniques such as the use of
radio-labeled substances. Even so, these
techniques lack the resolution to provide detailed flow parameters on a small
scale.
