A Method to Remove Fluid-motion Related Artifacts in Magnetic Resonance Thermometry Images Using Magnetic Field Gradients

This technology includes the incorporation of a magnetic field gradient waveform (consisting of two or more pulses) between excitation and encoding to eliminate signal from moving fluid for imaging applications. Proton Resonance Frequency (PRF) thermometry is a widely used Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) based technique to monitor changes in tissue temperature in response to thermal therapy. The use of PRF thermometry with thermal therapy procedures is indispensable to ensure delivery of desired thermal dose to the target tissue, and to minimize unintended damage to the normal tissue.

Select100™ Multi-Specimen Loader and Image Acquisition System

Over the last 15 years, the application of computers to microscopes has significantly enhanced the level of automation that is possible once a specimen has been inserted into the microscope. A long-standing bottleneck has been the automated delivery of multiple specimens into an electron microscope, and overcoming this has presented researchers with significant challenges.

An Interactive Software Package for the Analysis of Microarray Data

The emergence of bioinformatics tools, which integrate molecular biology and genomics with computer based information technology, is bringing about a revolution in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying normal and dysfunctional biological processes. The microarray is one such tool that caused a paradigm shift in the manner in which researchers collect and analyze genetic data.
