which comprises defining a merit function for optimizing at least one feature of any of a magnetic field and an electric field generated by the coils, using a computer processor to optimize the merit function so as to determine an optimal current vector, wherein said element of the current vec...
Of course, this can be seen as a special case of the phased array ghost cancellation processor 32. [0039] Turning briefly to FIG. 8, the k-space data is acquired in parallel from multiple receiver coils 42-45 (sometimes called a phased array of coils) placed around the imaged object ...
shape and location of diseased tissue and/or tumors in the body. The imaging system may include real-time ultrasound B-mode imaging capabilities. It should be noted that other types of imaging systems, such as MRI or CRT imaging systems or other sonographic imaging systems, may be used as ...
A method for processing data is provided that includes receiving a first request in a first clock cycle from a processor for access to a first data segment corresponding to a first address included in the first request. A second request for access to a second data segment corresponding to a ...
An “integrated circuitry component” is a processor on an integrated circuit (IC) chip. The processor may be one or more processor on one or more IC chip. The chip is typically a silicon chip with thousands of electronic components that serves as a central processing unit (CPU) of a comp...
