US Patent:

20120139537, Jun 7, 2012
Filed:

May 31, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/118943
Inventors:

Scott Holland - Cincinnati OH, US
Vincent J. Schmithorst - Batavia OH, US
Luis Hernandez-Garcia - Ann Arbor MI, US
Jennifer Vannest - Cincinnati OH, US
International Classification:

G01R 33/48
G01R 33/28
US Classification:

324309, 324318
Abstract:

This disclosure is generally drawn to methods, systems, appliances and/or apparati related to obtaining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. More specifically, the disclosure relates to obtaining MRI images using arterial spin labeling (ASL) and blood-oxygen-level dependence functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) techniques. In some examples, a method of obtaining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image(s) is provided. An example method may include providing arterial spin labeling (ASL) labeling, obtaining at least one ASL acquisition after ASL labeling, and obtaining at least one blood-oxygen-level dependence functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) acquisition after ASL labeling.

Filed:

Jul 5, 2012
Appl. No.:

14/130707
Inventors:

Luis Hernandez-Garcia - Ann Arbor MI, US
Anthony Grbic - Ann Arbor MI, US
Eric Michielssen - Ann Arbor MI, US
Luis Gomez - Ann Arbor MI, US

International Classification:

A61N 2/02
A61N 2/00
US Classification:

600 13
Abstract:

An improved apparatus is provided for transcranial magnetic stimulation in a brain of a subject. The apparatus is comprised of: a plurality of coils electrically connected in series to each other; and a single source of current electrically coupled to one of the plurality of coils. Each coil may include one or more windings of similar dimensions although the size of the windings varies between coils. Each of the coils is further dimensioned to stimulate brain tissue at a given distance while minimizing volume of the brain tissue excited by the magnetic field. During operation, the current source injects time varying current into the coils to create a magnetic field which in turn induces electric fields and eddy-currents inside the brain tissue of the subject.
