US Patent Issued to The Chinese University of Hong Kong on Jan. 27 for "System and method for consistency-aware learnable multi-prior reconstruction for magnetic resonance imaging" (Chinese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,535,547, issued on Jan. 27, was assigned to The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong).

"System and method for consistency-aware learnable multi-prior reconstruction for magnetic resonance imaging" was invented by Liping Zhang (Hong Kong) and Weitian Chen (Hong Kong).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques for performing iterative MRI image reconstruction by learning complementary multi-prior knowledge from images, k-space data, and calibration data are disclosed. In one method, k-space data is obtained from an MRI scan. Image-space modifications are performed on the k-space data using a first neural network trained to operate on d...
