ANTENNA-IMPREGNATED FABRICS FOR RECUMBENT HEIGHT MEASUREMENT
TS-062493 —
Children whose heights or growth rates fall outside of the normal range can be identified as having short stature (less than the 3rd percentile) or tall stature (above the 97th percentile) or as having abnormal growth velocity. Serial height measurements over time are key to identifying these patt…

A novel computational procedure for accelerated, calibrationless magnetic resonance image reconstruction (Free-breathing Accelerated MRI Portfolio)
TS-062487 — Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a versatile noninvasive imaging tool that is routinely used to evaluate many diseases and conditions. MRI offers exquisite soft tissue contrast and high spatial resolution to enable comprehensive structural and functional assessment of internal organs. Recent innovations in data acquisition and processing can expand the clinical applications of MRI.
The Need
A major limitation of MRI is slow data acquisition, which can compromise patient comfort, drive up costs, and increase susceptibility to motion. The clinical adoption of volumetric imaging for musculoskeletal and neuro applications, the growing
demand for free-breathing real-time imaging …
