Problems solved by technology

Acquisition of the full-sampled or super-sampled k-space data requires a long acquisition time
[0005] However, in some application scenarios, such as abdominal scanning, the subject needs to hold his breath during the scan, because the breath-holding time of the subject will not be too long, so the data acquisition time is limited, and it is impossible to obtain a k-space with full sampling or super full sampling data
In this way, DNN cannot be applied to these MRI application scenarios with limited acquisition time

Embodiment Construction

[0049] A prerequisite for DNN to be applied to accelerate magnetic resonance scanning is the need to train DNN. The training set sample used during training includes two parts: one part is an input sample, and the other part is an output sample. The input sample can be an image with a low signal-to-noise ratio, and the input sample can be obtained from down-sampled data. The output samples are usually high-quality and low-noise images. Only by deep learning of the input samples and output samples can a deep learning network capable of removing noise be obtained.

[0050] For applications that do not have motion or do not require high time resolution, the training set required for deep learning can be obtained regardless of the acquisition time. The output training samples can be collected by full sampling or super full sampling. The output training samples can be full Sampling or super-sampling K-space data or the image corresponding to the K-space data. The input training sa...

Abstract

The present application discloses a magnetic resonance imaging method and device. The method sequentially combines a deep network model with a conventional accelerated reconstruction method. First, the deep network model is used to restore the first imaging information with a higher downsampling factor to a lower downsampling factor. Then, the second imaging information with a lower downsampling factor is completely reconstructed using a conventional accelerated reconstruction method, so as to obtain the final magnetic resonance image. In this way, in the magnetic resonance imaging method provided by the present application, the output training samples of the deep neural network used for fast magnetic resonance imaging are not full sampling or super full sampling data, but downsampled data, thus, the output of training deep neural network The training samples can be obtained by conventional downsampling methods, therefore, the output training samples can be obtained through a shorter acquisition time, thus, the deep neural network can be applied to MRI application scenarios with limited acquisition time, such as abdominal scan .

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical imaging, in particular to a magnetic resonance imaging method and device. Background technique [0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, MRI), as a multi-parameter, multi-contrast imaging technology, is one of the main imaging methods in modern medical imaging, which can reflect various characteristics such as tissue T1, T2 and proton density. Provide information for disease detection and diagnosis. The basic working principle of magnetic resonance imaging is to use the magnetic resonance phenomenon, use radio frequency excitation to excite hydrogen protons in the human body, use gradient field to encode the position, then use the receiving coil to receive the electromagnetic signal with position information, and finally use the Fourier transform to reconstruct the image information. [0003] Deep learning has been widely used in research in various fields becaus...
