Title: Innovations of Xiaoxuan He in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction
Xiaoxuan He is an accomplished inventor based in Minneapolis, MN (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Her innovative work focuses on enhancing the efficiency of radio frequency shimming techniques.
Latest Patents
Xiaoxuan He holds a patent for "Static and dynamic non-localized efficiency radio frequency shimming for parallel transmission in magnetic resonance imaging." This patent introduces a non-localized efficiency shimming technique that generates radio frequency (RF) shimming values for imaging with a multi-channel transmit RF coil. The technique minimizes subject-specific imperfections in the transmit magnetic field (B1+) and reduces or eliminates signal dropout in the acquired images. It ensures that the coil operates in an optimal mode with high transmit efficiency. The non-localized efficiency shimming can be applied to both small and large fields-of-view without the need to specify a specific region of interest (ROI). The static non-localized efficiency shim is particularly beneficial for turbo spin echo (TSE) imaging of smaller anatomical targets, while the dynamic non-localized efficiency shim is advantageous for larger fields-of-view, such as in human torsos.
