Title: Harald H. Quick: Magnetic Resonance Imaging and PET Innovations.

Introduction

Harald H. Quick is an inventor based in Erlangen, Germany, whose patent work focuses on imaging technologies for magnetic resonance (MR) and combined MR/PET systems. His portfolio includes 3 patents and addresses image quality and attenuation correction in medical imaging.

Latest Patents

Quick’s recent patent work includes “Method for Imaging a Part Region of an Examination Object in a Magnetic Resonance System.” The method uses selected gradient fields and readout directions to counteract distortions associated with gradient-field nonlinearity and magnetic-field inhomogeneity. It then uses the acquired magnetic resonance data to define an image of the examined region.

Another patent, “Method for Determining a Position-Dependent Attenuation Map of Surface Coils of a Magnetic Resonance/PET Apparatus,” describes determining the position of a surface coil from MR image data acquired during an MR/PET examination. That position is used to create an attenuation map, supporting correction of PET data. The disclosed work also encompasses an MR/PET apparatus and a computer program product for carrying out the method.
