Problems solved by technology

The second-order symmetric tensor is used to describe the diffusion motion in the voxel, that is, only six independent diffusion coefficients are used to describe the potentially very complicated anisotropic diffusion. From a mathematical point of view, this model is too simple

Embodiment Construction

[0030] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0031] Such as figure 1 Shown is the flowchart of neuroimaging method of the present invention, and it comprises the following steps:

[0032] Step S110: Determine the sampling scheme, select a plurality of directions uniformly distributed on the unit sphere (such as figure 1 12, 42, 162, 642, etc.), within each voxel, the attenuation of signal strength in these directions is measured using state-of-the-art techniques. Such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

[0033] Step S120: Calculate the diffusion coefficient D in each direction according to the signal attenuation strength obtained in step...

Abstract

The invention relates to the medical imaging technology, in particular to a diffusion tensor imaging method for processing nerve fiber reconstruction in a nerve complex distribution area, device and magnetic resonance equipment. A multivariate high-order tensor model is adopted to describe the diffusion motion in a voxel, and in combination of a high-order tensor decomposition theory, the directions of all fibers in the voxel are solved. The method disclosed in the invention is particularly suitable for reconstructing nerve fibers in the nerve complex distribution area and can effectively process nerve fiber bundle intersection, bifurcation and other conditions. The method, the device and the equipment have important application value in neuroscience, medical imaging and the like.

Description
