Problems solved by technology

However, there are various problems in the existing methods: the method of fat saturation and water excitation will fail in the place where the field displacement is large; the method of inversion recovery will greatly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the image
But this method needs to accurately estimate the displacement of the main magnetic field B0
[0004]The existing water-fat separation method is prone to the phenomenon of water-fat separation when the object space is discontinuous or the area with low signal-to-noise ratio is processed

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of image processing, and in particular to a method, device, equipment, and storage medium for separating water and fat based on magnetic resonance images. Background technique [0002] In conventional magnetic resonance images, the highlighted fat signal will affect the diagnosis of lesions, so fat suppression technology is often required. However, there are various problems in the existing methods: the methods of fat saturation and water excitation will fail in the place where the field displacement is large; the method of inversion recovery will greatly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of the image. In addition, fat signal is also an important diagnostic basis in the detection of heart and lung diseases. Therefore, accurate fat quantification and water-fat separation are crucial. [0003] At present, the chemical shift coding imaging method is the most used in the separation of wate...
