Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging, and particularly relates to a multiple-shot plane echo magnetic resonance imaging method based on a deep learning neural network. The invention provides a brand-new method for accurate phase correction and rapid image reconstruction for multiple-shot plane echo magnetic resonance imaging. Compared with a traditional under-sampling image reconstruction algorithm based on a model, the deep learning neural network is utilized, deep learning is applied to aliasing correction of multiple shot echo planar imaging (MSH-EPI) images, and an aliasing-free single shot echo planar imaging (SSH-EPI) image is used as a target in the training stage. An aliasing SSH-EPI image having the same under-sampling factor and trajectory as the multiple shot plane echo is sent to the network so as to improve the precision of phase estimation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging, in particular to a multi-excitation planar echo magnetic resonance reconstruction method based on a deep learning neural network. Background technique [0002] Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) includes single-shot (Single-shot, SSH) and multiple-shot EPI (Multi-shot, MSH). Because of its high efficiency and insensitivity to motion, it is currently a diffusion-weighted Widely used acquisition sequences for Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and cardiac imaging. Based on Multi-shot Echo Planar Imaging (MSH-EPI) technology, it solves the problems of low spatial resolution, serious geometric distortion, blurred image and obvious artifacts of single echo planar imaging. It has very high application value in applications with high spatial resolution requirements such as high resolution diffusion weighting. By reducing the phase-encoding steps per excitation...
