Title: Wavelet encoding in gradient-echo mri
Inventor: SERRAI HACENE
IPC: G01R33/54
Filed: 2009-07-30
Abstract: A pulse sequence and method for MR imaging avoids aliasing by wavelet encoding and provides fast image acquisition with low FOV images. The pulse sequence provides for slice selection and encoding with fast and slow modulated pulses emitted by a RF coil during a set of 3 or more subpulses.  Phase encoding is avoided. Wavelet encoding and frequency encoding are used with slice selection. Advantageously a higher SNR is obtained at higher resolution by increasing a flip angle of a 2D RF pulse at no penalty to imaging rate.

Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic and prognostic methods for predicting the effectiveness of treatment of a cancer patient with an IGF-IR kinase inhibitor. Methods are provided for predicting the sensitivity of tumor cell growth to inhibition by an IGF-IR kinase inhibitor, comprising assessing whether the tumor cell has undergone an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), by determining the expression level of epithelial and/or mesenchymal biomarkers, wherein tumor cells that have undergone an EMT are substantially less sensitive to inhibition by IGF-IR kinase inhibitors. Improved methods for treating cancer patients with IGF-IR kinase inhibitors that incorporate the above methodology are also provided. Additionally, methods are provided for the identification of new biomarkers that are predictive of responsiveness of tumors to IGF-IR kinase inhibitors. Furthermore, methods for the identification of agents that restore the sensitivity of tumor cells that have undergone EMT to inhibition by IGF-IR kinase inhibitors are also provided. pErk, HER3 and pHER are also demonstrated to be effective biomarkers for predicting sensitivity of tumor cells to IGF- IR kinase inhibitors.
