US Patent Issued to The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University on March 11 for "Implicit neural representation learning with prior embedding for sparsely sampled image reconstruction and other inverse problems" (California, Massachusetts Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,249,008, issued on March 11, was assigned to The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford, Calif.).

"Implicit neural representation learning with prior embedding for sparsely sampled image reconstruction and other inverse problems" was invented by Liyue Shen (Cambridge, Mass.) and Lei Xing (Palo Alto, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for diagnostic imaging reconstruction uses a prior image xpr from a scan of a subject to initialize parameters of a neural network which maps coordinates in image space to corresponding intensity values in the prior image. The parameters are initialized by minimizin...
