Example Embodiment

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] figure 1 It is a schematic block diagram of a hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance imaging processing method of the present invention, which mainly includes—determination of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance imaging parameters (including echo time, repetition time, matrix size, number of layers, layer thickness, field of view, etc. ), k-space data acquisition (fixed-angle excitation / center encoding), coefficient weight matrix determination, k-space data transformation, MRI reconstruction (inverse Fourier transform), and image post-processing (denoising) to obtain improved quality ultra Polarized gas magnetic resonance imaging.

[0027] Specifically:

[0028] Step 1, select the imaging sequence, set the echo time, set the excitation angle, and obtain the original hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance k-space data.

[0029] Because the longitudinal magnetization vector of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance is non-reproducible, hyperpolarized...

Abstract

The invention discloses an image processing method of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance. An imaging sequence is selected, echo time and an excitation angle are set, and original k space data of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance is obtained; point multiplication is carried out on the original k space data of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance and a coefficient weight matrix to obtain modified k space data of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance; and Fourier transform is carried out on the modified k space data of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance to obtain an optimized magnetic resonance image, and a BM3D algorithm is used to process the optimized magnetic resonance image and further to obtain a quality improved nuclear magnetic resonance image. The image quality of hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance is improved effectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of magnetic resonance imaging and digital images, in particular to a hyperpolarized gas magnetic resonance image processing method. Background technique [0002] Air pollution (such as smog, etc.) accelerates the malignant development of lung diseases, especially the health impact on the elderly, children and pregnant women is more serious. Research data show that every 10μg / m increase in PM2.5 3 It can increase the total mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality and lung cancer mortality by 4%, 6% and 8% respectively. At present, lung cancer has replaced liver cancer as the first cause of death from malignant tumors in my country. It is estimated that by 2025, the number of people who will die of lung cancer alone will reach 1 million each year. However, the early diagnosis rate of lung cancer is only 15% at present, and the diagnosis rate of stage 0 patients is less than 0.6% of the total number of lu...
