Problems solved by technology

However, due to the influence of different measurement environments and water suppression pulses, the shape of the water peak varies widely, and even several exponential decay functions cannot be completely expressed. At this time, according to the original method, there will be a large residual water peak, which will affect the follow-up Quantitative treatment of

Embodiment 1

[0062] figure 1 It is a flowchart of the water peak processing method in the proton magnetic resonance spectrum signal. Such as figure 1 As shown, the water peak processing method in the proton magnetic resonance spectrum signal provided by the invention comprises:

[0063] Step 1: Preprocessing the signals collected by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy to obtain the original signal sequence of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

[0064] The preprocessing of the signal collected by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy includes the processes of suppressing noise, correcting frequency spectrum and correcting phase.

[0065] The main method of suppressing noise is apodization. The method of apodization and noise suppression is to multiply the time-domain signal by an exponential decay function. This method can adapt to the original signal model and increase the weight of the initial signal value. Since the proportion of noise in the initial signal value is very sma...

Abstract

The invention discloses a water peak treatment method in a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy signal in the technical field of treatment of the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy signal. The water peak treatment method comprises the following steps of: pre-treating a signal acquired by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging equipment to obtain a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy original signal sequence; extracting a spectral distribution characteristic point of water peak in the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy original signal sequence to obtain a water peak distribution characteristic point sequence; comparing the water peak distribution characteristic point sequence with the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy original signal sequence and inserting frequency and a signal value corresponding to the frequency at a position in short of frequency of the water peak distribution characteristic point sequence relative to the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy original signal sequence to obtain a reconstructed water peak frequency spectrum distribution characteristic point sequence; and subtracting the reconstructed water peak frequency spectrum distribution characteristic point sequence from the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy original signal sequence to realize water peak treatment in the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy signal. The water peak treatment method is easy to implement, and the accuracy and the operation speed are more advantageous.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of proton magnetic resonance spectrum signal processing, and in particular relates to a method for processing water peaks in proton magnetic resonance spectrum signals. Background technique [0002] The signal collected by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS, 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy) imaging equipment comes from the electromagnetic wave of stimulated radiation of 1H atoms. Due to the extremely high water content in the human body, the signal intensity of water molecules in the received resonance signal is much higher. Compared with the signal strength of other substances, their spectral peak ratio is about 10,000 times. Even after the suppression of water pulses emitted during the signal acquisition process, the spectral peak ratio is still about 200 times, which seriously interferes with the compounds of interest. Therefore, removing the water peak in the resonance signal is a prerequi...
