[0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that reconstructs images by utilizing signals generated when atomic nuclei resonate within a strong magnetic field. With advancements in medical technology, the use of MRI to assist in medical diagnosis is becoming increasingly common.

[0003] When using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to scan a human or animal, a certain amount of raw medical image data is generated.

[0015] In one embodiment, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined according to a preset data fragmentation rule, including:

[0016] The second rule determines whether the scan time of the current scan layer falls within the storage time period corresponding to the current file group; the second rule includes the storage time period corresponding to each file group.

[0017] If the scanning time of the current scan layer is within the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, then the current file group is determined as the target file group;

[0018] If the scanning time of the current scan layer exceeds the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, then the file group corresponding to the next storage time period will be determined as the target file group.

[0019] In one embodiment, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined according to a preset data fragmentation rule, including:

[0020] The third rule determines whether the amount of data in the storage space of the current file group is greater than or equal to the preset data amount threshold; the third rule includes the data amount threshold corresponding to the storage space of each file group.

[0021] If the amount of data in the storage space of the current file group is less than the preset data amount threshold, then the current file group will be used as the target file group.

[0022] If the amount of data in the storage space of the current file group is greater than or equal to the preset data amount threshold, then the next file group will be used as the target file group.

[0023] In one embodiment, the data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning further includes:

[0027] In one embodiment, the data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning further includes:

[0040] According to the target scanning protocol, the system jumps to the segmentation selection interface, obtains the preset segmentation rules selected by the user based on the segmentation selection interface, scans the target object, and generates the raw data file of the current scanning layer.

[0041] According to the preset data fragmentation rules, the raw data files of the current layer are stored, and the data in the raw data files of the current scanned layer are stored in the storage space corresponding to the target file group.

[0042] The aforementioned data storage method, magnetic resonance scanning method, and system for magnetic resonance scanning acquire the raw data file of the current scan layer during the scanning process of the target object by the magnetic resonance device. According to the preset data segmentation rules, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined, and the data in the raw data file of the current scan layer is stored in the storage space corresponding to the target file group.

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0057] The data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning provided in some embodiments of this application can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The application environment shown. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the application environment of the data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning according to an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The application environment may include a magnetic resonance scanning system, which may include: a magnetic resonance scanning device 101, a scanning bed 102, a host 103, and a reconstruction machine 104. The operator can control the magnetic resonance device 101 through the host 103 to perform layered scanning of the target object on the scanning bed 102, obtaining a large number of raw data files. These large numbers of raw data files can be stored in corresponding storage spaces according to different data segmentation rules, so that the reconstruction machine 104 can subsequently retrieve the corresponding raw data from the corresponding storage space for image reconstruction. In some embodiments, the magnetic resonance scanning system is an animal magnetic resonance imaging system. The magnetic resonance scanning device can acquire massive amounts of raw data through magnetic resonance scanning of the scanned object, especially when scanning animals in preclinical life science research. This raw data is reconstructed and displayed as digital images. This acquired, unprocessed data can be defined as raw data, also called raw data. It is understood that during the magnetic resonance scanning process, while acquiring raw data, some noise data may also be acquired; raw data can include this noise data.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a data storage method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1Taking the magnetic resonance system in China as an example, the following steps are included:

[0059] S202: During the scanning process of the target object by the magnetic resonance equipment, acquire the raw data file of the current scan layer.

[0060] Specifically, when an MRI scanner scans a target object, it typically divides the object into scanning layers and scans each layer. The scanning can proceed in the order of the divided layers or not; there is no restriction on this. During the scanning process, the raw data file of the current scanning layer is acquired.

[0061] S204, determine the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer according to the preset data segmentation rules.

[0062] The data sharding rules are used to group raw data files. Preset data sharding rules may include: a first rule grouping raw data files according to the number of shard layers; a second rule grouping raw data files according to scan time; a third rule grouping raw data files according to data volume; a fourth rule grouping raw data files according to the number of repeated scans when repeatedly scanning a certain scan sequence or scan layer; a fifth rule grouping raw data files generated by scanning in different scan directions within different sequences; and other grouping rules supported by sequence scanning.

[0063] Specifically, based on preset data fragmentation rules, determining the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer can be achieved by dividing all scan layers into groups, determining the target file group for the raw data file generated by the current scan layer when scanning layers in the preset first group according to the first rule, and determining the target file group for the raw data file generated by the current scan layer when scanning layers in other groups according to the second or third rule. Alternatively, the target file group for the raw data file generated by the current scan layer when scanning layers in the preset first group can be determined according to the second rule, and the target file group for the raw data file generated by the current scan layer when scanning layers in other groups can be determined according to the first or second rule. Another option is that when all scan layers are scanned, any one of the preset data fragmentation rules is used to determine the corresponding file group for the raw data file generated by each scan layer. Finally, all scan layers can be divided into three groups, and the target file group for the raw data file of the current scan layer can be determined according to different data fragmentation rules for each group. For example, the 12 scan layers are divided into 3 groups: 1-4 are the first group, 5-8 are the second group, and 9-12 are the third group. When the scan layers of the first group are scanned, the raw data files of the current scan layer are grouped into target files according to the first rule; when the scan layers of the second group are scanned, the raw data files of the current scan layer are grouped into target files according to the second rule; and when the scan layers of the third group are scanned, the raw data files of the current scan layer are grouped into target files according to the third rule.

[0064] Optionally, if repeated scanning of a certain scan sequence or scan layer is required, the raw data files generated from each scan can be grouped according to the fifth rule for grouping raw data files based on the number of repeated scans. For example, raw data files with an odd or even number of scans can be grouped together and stored in the corresponding storage space. Alternatively, the number of scans can be arbitrarily chosen to group the data files; there is no restriction on this.

[0065] Optionally, users can base their decisions on, for example... Figure 2-a The interface for selecting raw data sharding methods is shown. Select the corresponding sharding rule.

[0066] S206, store the data from the raw data file of the current scanned layer to the storage space corresponding to the target file group.

[0067] Specifically, the data from the raw data files of the current scan layer, for which the target file group has been determined, is stored in the storage space corresponding to the target file group. This can be done by storing the data from the raw data files of the current scan layer one by one, or by packaging the data from the raw data files of the current scan layer into the storage space corresponding to the target file group; there is no restriction on this.

[0068] In the above-mentioned data storage method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning, during the scanning of the target object by the MRI device, the raw data file of the current scan layer is acquired. According to the preset data segmentation rules, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined. The data in the raw data file of the current scan layer is stored in the storage space corresponding to the target file group. This allows the raw data files generated by scanning different scan layers to be stored in the corresponding target file groups. In order to quickly and accurately obtain the corresponding original medical image data from different groups for image data in subsequent image reconstruction.

[0069] Further, in one embodiment, determining the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer according to a preset data fragmentation rule includes:

[0070] According to the first rule, the target file group corresponding to the current scan layer's raw data file is determined based on the scan layer identifier of the current scan layer's raw data file; the first rule includes the correspondence between the scan layer identifier and the file group.

[0071] Specifically, the correspondence between scan layer identifiers and file groups can include determining the corresponding target file group when the scan layer identifier is a preset layer number. The preset layer number can be a consecutive preset number of layers or a non-consecutive preset number of layers; there is no restriction on this. When the current scan layer is completed, a raw data file is generated. At this time, based on the identifier of the current scan layer, the layer number of the current scan layer can be determined. Based on the correspondence between the scan layer number and file groups, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined. For example, if there are 12 scan layers, and the scan layer identifier of the current scan layer is layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, and layer 4, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined to be group 1; if the scan layer identifier is layer 5, layer 6, layer 7, and layer 8, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined to be group 2; if the scan layer identifier is layer 9, layer 10, layer 11, and layer 12, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined to be group 3. For example, if there are 12 scanning layers, and the scanning layers are identified as the first, third, fifth, and seventh layers, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scanning layer is determined to be the first group; if the scanning layers are identified as the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth layers, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scanning layer is determined to be the second group; if the scanning layers are identified as the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth layers, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scanning layer is determined to be the third group.

[0072] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, based on the preset data fragmentation rules, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined, including:

[0073] S302, determine whether the scanning time of the current scanning layer is within the storage time period corresponding to the current file group according to the second rule; the second rule includes the storage time period corresponding to each file group.

[0074] Specifically, since the target file grouping is determined based on the current scan layer's scan time distribution—for example, if the total scan time of an MRI machine is 30 minutes—the first 10 minutes of the scan can be the first storage time period, the middle 10 minutes can be the second storage time period, and the last 10 minutes can be the third storage time period. Each storage time period can correspond to a different target file group: the first storage time period can correspond to the first target file group, the second storage time period can correspond to the second target file group, and the third storage time period can correspond to the third target file group. First, the first target file group is used as the current file group. If the storage of the first target file group is completed, the second target file group is used as the current file group, and so on. The second rule determines whether the scan time of the current scan layer falls within the storage time period corresponding to the current file group. For example, if the scan time of the current scan layer is the 17th minute, it can be assumed that the first target file group has already stored the raw data files for the first 10 minutes. Then, it checks whether the scan time falls within the storage time period corresponding to the second target file group. If it does, the raw data files of the current scan layer are determined to correspond to the second target file group. If it does, it checks whether the scan time falls within the storage time period corresponding to the second target file group. If it does, the third target file group corresponds to the raw data files of the current scan layer; otherwise, the third target file group is determined as the target file group. Alternatively, if the scan time of the raw data files of the current scan layer falls within the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, the current file group is determined as the target file group. If the scan time of the raw data files of the current scan layer exceeds the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, the file group corresponding to the next storage time period is directly determined as the target file group.

[0075] S304, if the scanning time of the current scan layer is within the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, then the current file group is determined as the target file group.

[0076] Specifically, if the scanning time of the current scan layer falls within the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, then the current file group is determined as the target file group. For example, if the current scan layer generates raw data at the 9th minute, which falls within the first time period, then the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined to correspond to the first target file group.

[0077] S306, if the scanning time of the current scan layer exceeds the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, then the file group corresponding to the next storage time period is determined as the target file group.

[0078] Specifically, if the scanning time of the current scan layer exceeds the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, then the file group corresponding to the next storage time period is determined as the target file group. For example, if the current scan layer scan time is at the 11th minute, which exceeds the storage time period corresponding to the first target file group by 10 minutes, then the file group corresponding to the second storage time period is determined as the target file group.

[0079] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, based on the preset data fragmentation rules, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined, including:

[0080] S402, determine whether the data volume of the storage space of the current file group is greater than or equal to the preset data volume threshold according to the third rule; the third rule includes the data volume threshold corresponding to the storage space of each file group;

[0081] S404, If the amount of data in the storage space of the current file group is less than the preset data amount threshold, then the current file group will be used as the target file group.

[0082] S406, if the amount of data in the storage space of the current file group is greater than or equal to the preset data amount threshold, then the next file group will be used as the target file group.

[0083] Specifically, after the current scan layer generates data, it is determined whether the current scan layer's data volume is greater than or equal to a preset data volume threshold. If the data volume of the current file group's storage space is less than the preset data volume threshold, then the current file group is designated as the target file group; if the data volume of the current file group's storage space is greater than or equal to the preset data volume threshold, then the next file group is designated as the target file group. The data volumes of different file groups can be the same or different. The third rule includes the data volume threshold corresponding to the storage space of each file group, which indicates whether the storage space of that file group can still be used for storage. For example, if the data volume of the current file group's storage space has reached 20GB and the preset data volume threshold is 25GB, then the current file group is designated as the target file group. If the data volume of the current file group's storage space has reached 20GB and the preset data volume threshold is 20GB, then obviously, the current file group cannot meet the storage requirements, and the next file group is designated as the target file group.

[0084] In this embodiment, three different rules can be used to determine the target file group for the raw data file of the current scan layer, so that it can be stored in the target file group, so that the corresponding raw data file can be found quickly and accurately in the subsequent reconstruction process.

[0085] The above embodiments illustrate how to determine the target file grouping for storing raw data. During the scanning process of the magnetic resonance imaging equipment, a suspend protocol sequence command may also be received. An embodiment will now be described, in which... Figure 5 As shown, the data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning also includes:

[0086] S502, determine whether a scan completion command or a suspend protocol sequence command has been received.

[0087] S504: If a scan completion command or a suspension protocol sequence command is received, the storage task is terminated.

[0088] S506, if no scan completion instruction or suspension protocol sequence instruction is received, the raw data file of the next scan layer is obtained as the new raw data file of the current scan layer, and the step of determining the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer according to the preset data fragmentation rules is executed.

[0089] Specifically, when the scan is complete, a scan completion command is generated. If the scan completion command is received, the storage task ends. During the scan process at the MRI machine, the user can base their data on... Figure 5-a Clicking the "Suspend Check" button on the protocol scanning interface suspends the current scan sequence and generates a "Received Suspend Protocol Sequence Instruction." If this instruction is received, the data storage task ends. If no scan completion instruction or suspension protocol sequence instruction is received during the scanning of the current scan layer, the raw data file of the next scan layer is obtained as the new raw data file for the current scan layer. The process then proceeds to determine the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer based on preset data fragmentation rules.

[0090] Optionally, upon receiving a suspension protocol sequence instruction, the magnetic resonance imaging device is controlled to stop scanning the target object, and the number of scan layers that have been completed is recorded, and a task execution log file is generated and stored.

[0091] Among them, the suspension protocol sequence instruction is a user-sent instruction to pause the scan or a suspension instruction triggered by an abnormal system termination during the scan process.

[0092] Furthermore, users can base their decisions on, for example... Figure 5-b In the sequence recovery protocol scan interface shown, locate the suspended scan sequence that needs to be recovered and select the recovery option. The interface will then redirect to the check list interface, which floats above the suspended scan sequence that needs recovery, positioned above the row corresponding to the selected sequence item. Figure 5-cAs shown, the user can select the protocol to continue scanning option, triggering the activation of the suspended protocol sequence command. When the activation of the suspended protocol sequence command is received, the task execution log file is searched to obtain the number of slices of the scanned layers that have been completed, and the scanned layers that have not been completed are scanned.

[0093] Optionally, before the user clicks the "Suspend Check" button on the protocol scanning interface to trigger the suspension protocol sequence command, the user is prompted whether to abandon the data of the current scanning layer or wait for the current acquisition cycle to complete before suspending the check. If the user abandons the data of the current scanning layer, the raw data of the current scanning layer will not be stored and the suspension protocol sequence command will be triggered, and the current scanning layer will not be recorded.

[0094] In this embodiment, the system determines whether a scan completion command or a suspension protocol sequence command has been received. If either command is received, the storage task ends. If neither command is received, the raw data file of the next scan layer is obtained as the new raw data file for the current scan layer. The system then performs the step of determining the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer according to preset data fragmentation rules. This allows the system to end the storage task in real time based on a completion command or a user suspension command, and to restart the scan upon receiving an activation suspension protocol sequence command. This solves the problem of the inability to perform suspension operations in existing technologies, thus improving the user experience.

[0095] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning is further described below with reference to an embodiment. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning includes:

[0096] S601: During the scanning process of the target object by the magnetic resonance imaging equipment, acquire the raw data file of the current scan layer.

[0097] S602, Obtain the preset data fragmentation rules, and determine the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer according to the preset data fragmentation rules;

[0098] S603, if the first rule is followed, the target file group corresponding to the current scan layer's raw data file is determined based on the scan layer identifier of the current scan layer's raw data file; the first rule includes the correspondence between the scan layer identifier and the file group.

[0099] S604, if the scanning time of the current scan layer's raw data file is determined according to the second rule to be within the time period corresponding to the current file group; the second rule includes the storage time period corresponding to each file group; if the scanning time of the current scan layer is within the storage time period corresponding to the current file group, then the current file group is determined as the target file group.

[0100] S605, if the data volume of the storage space of the current file group is determined according to the third rule to be greater than or equal to the preset data volume threshold; the third rule includes the data volume threshold corresponding to the storage space of each file group;

[0101] S606, if the amount of data in the storage space of the current file group is less than the preset data amount threshold, then the current file group is used as the target file group; if the amount of data in the storage space of the current file group is greater than or equal to the preset data amount threshold, then the next file group is used as the target file group.

[0102] S607, store the data in the raw data file of the current scan layer to the storage space corresponding to the target file group.

[0103] S608 determines whether a scan completion command or a suspend protocol sequence command has been received.

[0104] S609: If a scan completion command or a suspension protocol sequence command is received, the magnetic resonance imaging device is controlled to stop scanning the target object, the number of scan layers that have been completed is recorded, a task execution log file is generated and stored, and the storage task is terminated.

[0105] S610, upon receiving the activation suspend protocol sequence instruction, searches the task execution log file, obtains the number of slices of the scanned layers that have been completed, and scans the scanned layers that have not been completed.

[0106] S611, if no scan completion instruction or suspension protocol sequence instruction is received, obtain the raw data file of the next scan layer as the new raw data file of the current scan layer, and execute the step of determining the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer according to the preset data fragmentation rules.

[0107] In this embodiment, during the scanning of the target object by the magnetic resonance device, the raw data file of the current scan layer is obtained. According to the preset data segmentation rules, the target file group corresponding to the raw data file of the current scan layer is determined. The data in the raw data file of the current scan layer is stored in the storage space corresponding to the target file group. This allows the raw data files generated by scanning different scan layers to be stored in the corresponding target file groups. In order to quickly and accurately obtain the corresponding original medical image data from different groups for image data in subsequent image reconstruction.

[0108] It should be understood that, although Figure 2-6The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed, and they can be performed in other orders. Furthermore, Figure 2-6 At least some of the steps in the process may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but may be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but may be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages in other steps.

[0109] The above embodiments have described the data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning. Now, an embodiment of a magnetic resonance scanning system applying the data storage method for magnetic resonance scanning will be described. In one embodiment, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the magnetic resonance scanning system includes: a protocol manager module 701, a checklist module 702, and a data storage module 703;

[0110] Protocol Manager Module 701 is used to obtain the target scanning protocol selected by the user based on the protocol scanning interface and transmit it to the checklist module;

[0111] The checklist module 702 is used to jump to the segmentation selection interface according to the target scanning protocol, obtain the preset segmentation rules selected by the user based on the segmentation selection interface, scan the target object, and generate the raw data file of the current scanning layer.

[0112] The data storage module 703 is used to store the raw data files of the current layer according to the preset data sharding rules.

[0113] Specifically, when a user needs to perform an MRI scan, they can select the desired target scanning protocol option based on the protocol scanning interface. The protocol manager module obtains the target scanning protocol and transmits the selected target scanning protocol to the checklist module. The user can open the target scanning protocol by clicking. The checklist module generates a protocol parameter card based on the target scanning protocol. The user can select the number of coils based on the protocol parameter card and jump to the segmentation selection interface based on the protocol parameter card. The module obtains the preset segmentation rules selected by the user based on the segmentation selection interface, scans the target object, and generates the raw data file of the current scan layer. The data storage module stores the raw data file of the current layer according to the preset data segmentation rules. The data segmentation rules are used to group the raw data files.

[0114] Optionally, the data fragmentation rules include at least one of the following: a first rule for grouping raw data files according to the number of fragment layers; a second rule for grouping raw data files according to the scan time; and a third rule for grouping raw data files according to the data volume.

[0115] For specific limitations regarding the data storage module, please refer to the limitations on data storage methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans mentioned above, which will not be repeated here. The modules in the aforementioned MRI scan system can be implemented entirely or partially through software, hardware, or a combination thereof. These modules can be embedded in or independent of the processor in the electronic device, or stored in the memory of the electronic device in software form, so that the processor can call and execute the corresponding operations of each module.

[0116] In this embodiment, the magnetic resonance scanning system includes: a protocol manager module, a checklist module, and a data storage module. The protocol manager module acquires the target scanning protocol selected by the user based on the protocol scanning interface and transmits it to the checklist module. The checklist module navigates to the slice selection interface based on the target scanning protocol, acquires the preset slice rules selected by the user based on the slice selection interface, scans the target object, and generates the raw data file for the current scan layer. The data storage module stores the raw data file for the current layer according to the preset data slice rules. The data slice rules are used to group the raw data files. Different data grouping rules can be provided to the user to group the raw data files of the scan layer, enabling the corresponding data content to be quickly and accurately located during subsequent data reconstruction.

[0118] Suspend module and activate module;

[0120] The activation module is used to obtain the user's activation and suspension protocol sequence instructions based on the protocol scanning interface, search the task execution log file in the data storage module, obtain the number of slices of the scanned layers that have been completed, and scan the scanned layers that have not been completed.

[0121] Specifically, the specific limitations of the aforementioned suspension module and activation module can be found in the specific limitations of the aforementioned magnetic resonance scanning data storage method, and will not be repeated here.

The activation module receives the user's activation suspend protocol sequence command based on the protocol scanning interface, searches the task execution log file in the data storage module, obtains the number of completed scan layers, and scans the incomplete scan layers. This allows the storage task to end in real time based on the completion command or the user's suspend command, and it can restart the scan upon receiving the activation suspend protocol sequence command, solving the problem of the inability to perform suspend operations in the prior art and improving the user experience.
