Title: SeungKyun Lee: Innovator in NMR and MRI Technology
Introduction
SeungKyun Lee is a prominent inventor based in Berkeley, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). His innovative work focuses on enhancing the sensitivity and resolution of NMR signals in low magnetic fields.
Latest Patents
SeungKyun Lee 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 on MRI in ultralow magnetic fields is based on NMR at these ultralow fields, where gradient magnetic fields are applied, and images are constructed from the detected NMR signals. He has 1 patent to his name.
