Embodiment 1

[0081] Embodiment 1 is a modification of the basic embodiment. On the basis of the basic embodiment, the technical solution of embodiment 1 is specifically:

[0082] The steps of the magnetic resonance noise prediction method provided by this embodiment further include:

[0083] 1. Construction of sequence parameter model: define parameters for optimization, and establish the mapping relationship between parameters and K-space and pulse sequence gradient;

[0084] 2. Limitation of K-space trajectory: use the physical principles of magnetic resonance imaging, hardware parameters of the imaging system and other conditions to impose constraints on parameters and sequences;

[0085] 3. Sequence noise prediction: For the generated pulse sequence gradient waveform, quantify the acoustic characteristics of the noise generated during the scanning process;

[0086] 4. Parameter optimization using machine learning methods.

Embodiment 2

[0088] Embodiment 2 is a variation of Embodiment 1. On the basis of Embodiment 1, the technical solution of Embodiment 2 is specifically:

[0089] Step 3: Sequence noise prediction, the specific method is as follows:

[0090] In this embodiment, the signal system theory is used to estimate the noise generated by the magnetic resonance scanner. The magnetic resonance scanner is approximated as a linear system, and the acoustic response s(t) can be regarded as the convolution of the gradient waveform g(t) and the impulse response function (IRF) h(t), which is equivalent to the frequency domain Multiplication: S(f) = G(f)·H(f). where H(f) represents the frequency response function (FRF).

[0091] In order to predict the noise generated during the scanning of sequences generated by the AI ​​Agent, the frequency response function of the MR scanner needs to be obtained. The experiment was carried out in a 3T magnetic resonance imaging system (uMR790, Shanghai United Imaging Medic...

Embodiment 3

[0094] Embodiment 3 is a variation of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. On the basis of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the technical solution of Embodiment 3 is specifically:

[0095] The specific methods of step 1, step 2, and step 4 can be flexibly defined in different embodiments. E.g:

[0096] The position coordinate k(T) of the sampled data point in K-space and the acceleration a(T) of its traveling in K-space are defined as parameters for optimization. The relationship between the position coordinate k(T) of the sampled data point in K space and its acceleration a(T) traveling in K space can be obtained by the following formula:

[0097] v(T+1)=v(T)+a(T)ΔT, v(0)=0

[0098] k(T+1)=k(T)+v(T)ΔT, k(0)=0

[0099] ΔT=nΔt

[0100] where Δt is the ADC sampling interval. because Among them, γ is the gyromagnetic ratio, and for hydrogen nuclei, γ=42.6MHz / T; s(T) is the rate of change of the gradient amplitude at time T, that is, the slewrate; g(T) is the gradient amplitude at ti...

Abstract

The present application relates to a method for designing a magnetic resonance mute sequence based on machine learning. Through the technical solution of the present invention, more diverse mute sequences can be designed, and more possible noise reduction solutions for magnetic resonance sequences can be provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of magnetic resonance technology, and in particular, to a method for designing a magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequence. Background technique [0002] As a widely used non-invasive imaging method, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has an irreplaceable position in clinical diagnosis and scientific research. However, the noise generated by the gradient coil during the scanning process can reach more than 100dBA, which will bring serious health and safety risks to patients, especially infants and young children. Overexposure to noise in adults can lead to hearing impairment, induce autonomic nervous system stimulation, and possibly lead to hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The noise environment is also one of the factors that lead to the loss of high-frequency hearing in the fetus, premature birth and intrauterine growth retardation. [0003] Noise during magnetic resonance scans is primarily generat...
