Embodiment approach 1

[0070] In Embodiment 1, in order to increase the data scanning rate, multiple contrasts share one data convolution kernel. In order to make multiple contrasts share one data convolution kernel, the scanning geometric information of the multiple contrasts in Embodiment 1 of the present application is the same.

Such as figure 2 As shown, the method includes a k-space data acquisition process and an image reconstruction process. Wherein, the k-space data collection process includes step S201 and step S202. Wherein, step S201 is used to collect training data for training the convolution kernel of virtual channel data, and step S202 is used to collect imaging data of magnetic resonance parallel imaging. The image reconstruction process includes step S203 to step S205.

[0120] The collection process of step S301 is the same as that of S201. The difference is that in the second embodiment of the present application, the general coil data is not directly used as training output data, and the multi-cha...

Embodiment approach 3

[0186] It should be noted that the third embodiment is improved on the basis of the first embodiment. The difference between the two is that the acquisition acceleration factor A of the imaging data in the first embodiment is an integer, while the acceleration factor A of the imaging data acquisition in the third embodiment is a non-integer.

Abstract

The embodiment of the present application discloses a magnetic resonance parallel imaging method and device. The method utilizes the acquired K-space parallel imaging data to fit virtual channel data, and realizes magnetic resonance parallel imaging based on data fitting with one data fitting process. The imaging process, therefore, compared with the prior art, the image reconstruction speed of the magnetic resonance parallel imaging method provided by the embodiment of the present application is fast. In addition, the image reconstructed by this method has correspondingly higher uniformity and signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, the magnetic resonance image obtained by the magnetic resonance parallel imaging method provided in the present application does not need to be subjected to uniformity correction processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging, in particular to a magnetic resonance parallel imaging method and device. Background technique [0002] Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has high soft tissue contrast and spatial resolution, can simultaneously obtain the morphological information and functional information of the inspection site, and can flexibly select imaging parameters and imaging layers according to needs, and has become the current An important means of medical imaging examination. [0003] However, restricted by the Nyquist sampling theorem and the strength of the main magnetic field, the scanning speed of MRI is very slow, which greatly limits the clinical application of MRI.
