Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for reconstructing multi-body high-definition diffusion magnetic resonance images, and in particular to a physical-based model multi-body high-definition diffusion magnetic resonance imaging method for multi-excitation echo-planar diffusion magnetic resonance images of phase-complex parts such as the abdomen and pelvis. Background Art

[0002] Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging is a non-ionizing, non-invasive technology for detecting the diffusion of water molecules in living biological tissues. It plays an important role in studying and detecting diseases in multiple parts of the body, such as brain function, tumors, and arthritis.

[0003] Conventional single-shot echo-planar imaging (ss-EPI) is a diffusion imaging method commonly used in clinical diagnosis. While fast, it is sensitive to field inhomogeneities, resulting in severe image distortion. Furthermore, image resolution is limited by the length of the echo train. To reduce distortion and improve resolution, multi-shot EPI uses multiple excitations to fill k-space, shortening the echo train to reduce distortion and improve resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. However, subject motion can introduce phase errors between excitations, leading to image artifacts.

[0004] Multi-shot diffusion imaging (MUSE) has been developed in recent years, but areas with complex motion remain understudied. Methods such as MUSE (N. Chen et al., "A robust multi-shot scan strategy for high-resolution diffusion weighted MRI enabled by multiplexed sensitivity-encoding (MUSE)" published in Neuroimage, Vol. 72, pp. 41-47, May 15, 2013) and MUSSELS (M. Mani et al., "Multi-shot sensitivity-encoded diffusion data recovery using structured low-rank matrix completion (MUSSELS)" published in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Vol. 78, No. 2, pp. 494-507, August 23, 2016) have demonstrated good reconstruction results in the brain, but struggle to reconstruct high-quality images in the abdomen. DONATE ("Fast and ultra-high shot diffusion MRI image reconstruction with self-adaptive Hankel subspace" by C. Qian, et al., published in Medical Image Analysis, Vol. 102, p. 103546, May 2025) achieves high-definition reconstruction of the brain with ultra-high shot counts. However, reconstructions of complex phase-determined regions (such as the eyes, skull, abdomen, and pelvis) can result in artifact correction in some layers and diffusion directions. Existing methods are not robust to complex phase data and require adjustment of reconstruction parameters for specific layers or directions.

[0005] To improve reconstruction robustness, a single reconstruction parameter is used to achieve high-quality, robust reconstruction across all planes and directions. This robustness is enhanced by an artificial intelligence network based on generated data. PIDD (C. Qian et al., "Physics-informed deep diffusion MRI reconstruction: Breaking the bottleneck of training data in artificial intelligence," presented at the 2023 IEEE 20th International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI), Cartagena, Colombia, pp. 1-5, 2023)) utilizes a high-order phase model to generate data with complex phases, enabling robust, high-quality brain image reconstruction. However, in complex phase regions, such as the abdomen, where different organs have significant phase differences, PIDD can cause signal loss, making robust reconstruction of challenging areas like the abdomen impossible. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art of multi-excitation diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, such as incomplete correction of motion artifacts in phase-complex areas (such as the abdomen and pelvis), insufficient image reconstruction robustness, the need to manually adjust reconstruction parameters for different areas or levels, and the susceptibility of existing methods to signal loss. The present invention provides a physical-based model multi-area high-definition diffusion magnetic resonance imaging method that combines a physical-based model with a neural network to achieve adaptive optimization of parameters and robustly reconstruct high-definition, artifact-free images of multiple areas without manual adjustment, thereby achieving robust, high-quality multi-body high-definition diffusion magnetic resonance imaging.

It constructs a physical-based model neural network based on the physical diffusion model and learns adaptive optimization of reconstruction parameters by training the neural network to achieve stable reconstruction in all levels and directions under a single parameter setting. This eliminates the need to manually adjust parameters for different parts or levels, and addresses the problem of insufficient robustness of existing methods (such as DONATE).

[0045] 3. The present invention uses a physical-based model neural network to accurately learn the signal characteristics of complex phase areas, maintaining signal integrity in multiple organ locations with large phase differences (such as the junction of the liver and intestine in the abdomen), overcoming the defect of existing methods such as PIDD that are prone to signal loss in complex phase scenarios.

[0046] 4. The present invention adopts a bidirectional one-dimensional low-rank model to strengthen local low-rank constraints, and combines the optimal singular value truncation parameters suggested by the neural network to achieve generalized reconstruction of multiple parts such as the brain, neck, and joints while improving image resolution, taking into account high-definition quality and applicability to multiple parts. Through the bidirectional one-dimensional low-rank optimization reconstruction method and the neural network adaptive optimization parameters, robust high-definition magnetic resonance diffusion imaging of multiple challenging parts is achieved without adjusting parameters.
