Title: Innovations of Diego Hernando
Introduction
Diego Hernando is a prominent inventor based in Madison, Wisconsin. He has made significant contributions to the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a total of 12 patents to his name. His work focuses on enhancing imaging techniques and methodologies, which have important implications for medical diagnostics.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "System and method for stimulated echo based mapping (STEM) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)." This invention provides a system and method for acquiring a plurality of differently-weighted images of a subject using a single pulse sequence. The method involves determining imaging parameters for a pulse sequence that includes a diffusion weighted module and an anatomical imaging module. These parameters include repetition time (TR), mixing time (TM), echo time (TE), and diffusion weighting b-value, with at least two different values of TM, TE, and diffusion weighting b-value. The method also includes performing a pulse sequence using these imaging parameters to acquire MR image data from a subject. The different values of TM, TE, and diffusion weighting b-value are utilized to acquire the MR image data. Furthermore, the method includes reconstructing a plurality of images of the subject, including at least a T1-weighted image, a T2-weighted image, and a diffusion-weighted image.
Another notable patent is the "Method for correcting phase offsets in quantitative chemical shift encoded magnetic resonance imaging." This invention describes systems and methods for correcting phase errors in chemical shift encoded data. The technique is self-calibrated, eliminating the need for specialized calibration data. This advancement enables fat and iron quantification using data from clinical and research sites that do not have specialized pulse sequences.
