Title: Innovations in Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Peter Jakob
Introduction
Peter Jakob is a notable inventor based in Würzburg, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), holding 2 patents that enhance the efficiency and quality of MRI data acquisition.
Latest Patents
Jakob's latest patents include a data acquisition method for accelerated magnetic resonance imaging. This method involves the partially parallel acquisition of MRI data through modulation of spin magnetization using radio-frequency pulses. It also incorporates spatial coding of the subject region and subsequent measurement cycles of the radio-frequency response signals. The technology utilizes a coil array with multiple radio-frequency receiver coils to acquire both coil sensitivity information and radio-frequency response signals, facilitating improved image reconstruction.
Another significant patent by Jakob is a method and apparatus for acquiring data for magnetic resonance imaging. This invention allows for the representation of the spatial distribution of magnetic resonance behavior within a localized region. The method involves arranging the region in a stationary magnetic field and subjecting it to a sequence of high-frequency pulses and magnetic field gradients. The resulting magnetic resonance signals are read out and used to fill the K-space, enhancing the quality of the images produced.
