MRI-Based Method for Characterizing Axonal Microstructure in Traumatic Brain Injury

Researchers at the NICHD developed a method for non-invasively determining the distribution of pore lengths and radii within a matrix thereby characterizing cognitive defects observed in patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The NICHD seeks licensing and/or co-development research collaborations to bring this invention to the public.

MADCO-Accelerated Multidimensional Diffusion MRI

The marginal distribution constrained optimization (MADCO) methodology is disclosed wherein a 2D (or higher-dimensional) spectrum is estimated from initial 1D marginal distribution data. These 1D marginal distributions are used as constraints in the reconstruction of the 2D spectra. MADCO accelerates and improves the reconstruction of multidimensional NMR relaxation/diffusion spectra, making it suitable for MRI applications on a voxel-by-voxel basis by vastly reducing the amount of data acquired and data necessary for creating MRI images.

Quantitative In Vivo Methods for Measuring Brain Networks

Researchers at the NICHD seek licensing and/or co-development research collaborations for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) method to quantitatively measure in vivo the estimated conduction time of nerve impulses in the brain.

Tamperless Tensor Elastography Imaging

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for the development of tamperless tensor elastography imaging in assessing disease (e.g., cancer), normal and abnormal developmental processes, degeneration and trauma in the brain and other soft tissues, and other applications.

Methods of Determining Homeostatic Perturbations

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees to further develop and commercialize its methods of noninvasively and directly determining the absolute homeostatic state, metabolic activity, function, and viability of isolated cells, or tissues (ex vivo or in vivo), such as the Central Nervous System (CNS). The method uses Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or Magnetic Resonance Imaging measurements of the rate at which endogenous water exchanges across cell membranes.
