His innovative work focuses on enhancing the sensitivity and resolution of NMR signals through advanced techniques.
Latest Patents
Michael Moessle holds a patent for an NMR and MRI apparatus and method. This invention involves detecting NMR signals in microtesla fields, utilizing prepolarization in millitesla fields followed by detection with an untuned dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. The sensitivity of the SQUID is frequency independent, which enhances both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spectral resolution. By detecting the NMR signal in extremely low magnetic fields, the NMR lines become very narrow, even in grossly inhomogeneous measurement fields. Additional benefits in signal-to-noise are achieved through the use of a low noise polarization coil, which comprises litz wire or superconducting materials. His work in MRI at ultralow magnetic fields is based on NMR at these fields, where gradient magnetic fields are applied, and images are constructed from the detected NMR signals.
