Introduction

Hongxia Lei is an inventor based in Wuhan, China, whose patent work addresses imaging technologies and methods for improving the accuracy and efficiency of medical imaging systems. Her listed portfolio includes 3 patents, with recent inventions focused on animal imaging and MRI calibration.

Latest Patents

One of Lei’s latest patents concerns scanning cabins, methods for identifying them, and imaging systems. The disclosed method obtains a cabin’s coding information and uses it with preset coding information to determine the cabin’s specification parameters. The approach is intended to identify scanning cabins accurately in animal imaging while reducing identification costs and improving efficiency.

Another recent patent describes methods and systems for gradient sensitivity correction. It uses a three-dimensional image of a phantom acquired with an MRI device to determine the phantom’s fitted size along a target axis. Comparing that fitted size with the phantom’s known actual size enables correction of the MRI device’s gradient sensitivity.
