Abstract

The invention discloses a dynamic brain functional magnetic resonance imaging method and system. The method includes the steps that high-time low-space-resolution navigation data S<NAV> and high-space low-time-resolution dynamic image data S are collected in (k,t) space; the navigation data S<NAV> are decomposed through singular values to obtain a model order L and a time primary function phi[l](t), and Tikhonov regularization constraint is conducted by combining with the image data S to solve a space primary function cl(k); interpolation recovery with the high-time high-space coverage density is conducted on the (k,t) space through the model order L, the time primary function phi[l](t) and the space primary function cl(k), Fourier inversion is then conducted, and therefore a high-time-resolution and high-space-resolution dynamic brain function magnetic resonance image is obtained. By means of the method and the system, quality of the reconstructed image is improved, and meanwhile the high-time-resolution and high-space-resolution dynamic brain function magnetic resonance image is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging, in particular to a dynamic brain functional magnetic resonance imaging method and system. Background technique [0002] Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is one of the fastest-growing fields in which contemporary medical imaging technology is applied to brain neuroscience research. The principle is to use magnetic resonance imaging to measure hemodynamic changes caused by neuronal activity. At present, it is mainly used in the study of the brain or spinal cord of humans and animals. Can show small changes in magnetic resonance signals arising from blood oxygenation status in venous capillaries in various regions of the brain. As a non-destructive detection technology, fMRI has become an important method to observe brain activity and reveal the relationship between brain and thinking, and it is used in almost every field of neuroscience, such as: neurophysiology, ne...
