ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,544,595, issued on Feb. 10, was assigned to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York).

"Magnetic resonance signature matching (MRSIGMA) for real-time volumetric motion tracking and adaptive radiotherapy" was invented by Jose Ricardo Otazo Torres (New York) and Li Feng (New York).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Described is an approach for tracking 3D organ motion in real-time using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The approach may include offline learning, which may acquire signature and 3D imaging data over multiple respiratory cycles to create a database of high-resolution 3D motion states. The approach may further include onlin...
