[0002] Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers numerous advantages in the medical field, including radiation-free imaging, high-contrast imaging, and high accuracy. Compared to other medical imaging techniques, MRI provides excellent soft tissue contrast, extremely high imaging resolution, and the ability to image in any plane, displaying detailed anatomical structures, blood flow, and metabolic information. These characteristics enable doctors to diagnose conditions more accurately. Therefore, MRI technology is widely used in the medical field and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Existing technologies, such as parallel MRI, can greatly improve scan speed. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the speed of lesion identification after MRI image reconstruction to achieve rapid lesion identification from the patient's MRI images.

[0038] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment; other embodiments that conform to the spirit of the present invention may also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, based on the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, a lesion identification system based on magnetic resonance imaging is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0040] Image reconstruction module 1 is used to control the acquisition coil to scan the area to be scanned of the current patient when the current patient enters the scanning area to obtain magnetic resonance imaging signal, and to perform image reconstruction after eliminating electromagnetic interference of the magnetic resonance imaging signal to obtain magnetic resonance image.

[0041] The lesion identification module 2, connected to the image reconstruction module 1, is used to input the magnetic resonance image into a pre-trained first lesion identification model, and to segment the magnetic resonance image into multiple image blocks according to the identification results, generating a first image block set and a second image block set. Then, the second image block set is input into the first lesion identification model, and the first and second image block sets are adjusted according to the identification results. Then, the first image block set is input into the pre-trained second lesion identification model to identify the lesion and obtain multiple corresponding labeled image blocks. The image blocks and labeled image blocks in the first image block set are stitched together to obtain the lesion-labeled magnetic resonance image.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an interference receiving coil is further provided around the scanning area, such as... Figure 1 As shown, image reconstruction module 1 includes:

[0043] The signal acquisition module 11 is used to control the acquisition coil to scan the area to be scanned of the current patient when the current patient enters the scanning area to obtain magnetic resonance imaging signals;

[0044] Interference cancellation unit 12 is connected to signal acquisition module 11 and is used to control interference receiving coil to acquire electromagnetic interference signals from interference sources in the space to the scanning area. Then, the electromagnetic interference signal and magnetic resonance imaging signal are input into the pre-trained interference cancellation model to obtain the corresponding cancellation signal as the magnetic resonance imaging signal.

[0045] The image reconstruction unit 13 is connected to the interference cancellation unit 12 and is used to perform image reconstruction based on the magnetic resonance imaging signal using an image reconstruction algorithm to obtain a magnetic resonance image.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to avoid the interference of environmental sources on the scanned magnetic resonance imaging signal, which would lead to problems such as blurriness, unclear boundaries, and excessive noise in the later obtained magnetic resonance image, interference receiving coils are also set up around the scanning area to receive electromagnetic interference signals from the environment. Then, the collected magnetic resonance imaging signal and the received electromagnetic interference signal are input into a pre-trained electromagnetic interference cancellation model to perform electromagnetic interference cancellation and obtain the corresponding cancellation signal as the magnetic resonance imaging signal. Subsequently, an image reconstruction algorithm is used to reconstruct the image based on the magnetic resonance imaging signal to obtain the corresponding magnetic resonance image.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, image reconstruction module 2 also includes:

[0048] The image denoising unit 14 is connected to the image reconstruction unit 13 and is used to denoise the magnetic resonance image and then use it as the magnetic resonance image.

[0049] The artifact correction unit 15 is connected to the image denoising unit 14 and is used to perform artifact correction processing on the magnetic resonance image and then use it as the magnetic resonance image.

[0050] The image enhancement unit 16 is connected to the artifact correction unit 15 and is used to perform image enhancement processing on the magnetic resonance image to obtain the magnetic resonance image.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the corresponding magnetic resonance image is obtained through image reconstruction, image optimization is required, including image denoising, artifact correction, and image enhancement.

[0052] Noise removal processes include:

[0053] Statistical filters: Statistical filters are methods based on the statistical characteristics of image pixels, including mean filters, median filters, etc. These filters remove noise by calculating the mean or median of pixels within a window surrounding a given pixel.

[0054] Methods based on partial differential equations: Commonly used methods include diffusion filtering and total variational regularization. These methods smooth images and remove noise by utilizing partial differential equation models.

[0055] Wavelet transform: Wavelet transform decomposes an image into sub-bands of different frequencies, removes noise from the high-frequency sub-bands, and finally reconstructs the image. Wavelet transform can effectively remove Gaussian noise and salt-and-pepper noise.

[0056] Non-Local Means (NLmeans) Filtering: NLmeans filtering is a method based on image patch similarity. It estimates noise by comparing the similarity between different pixels and removes noise using a weighted average of similar pixels.

[0057] Dictionary-based learning methods: These methods learn a dictionary and represent image patches as sparse linear combinations of the dictionary's elements. By controlling the sparsity coefficients, noise can be removed while preserving image details.

[0058] Select the above methods for noise reduction based on actual needs;

[0059] Artifact correction processing includes: gradient nonlinear correction, frequency correction, and artifact correction by using motion correction techniques, such as phase dephase correction and navigation techniques, to reduce motion-induced artifacts.

[0060] Image enhancement processing includes methods such as contrast enhancement, sharpening enhancement, and local enhancement.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lesion identification module 2 includes:

[0063] The first recognition unit 21 is used to input the magnetic resonance image into a pre-trained first recognition model, and to segment the magnetic resonance image into multiple image blocks containing lesions and multiple image blocks not containing lesions according to the recognition results. Then, the image blocks containing lesions are selected to generate a first image set, and a second image set is generated according to the remaining image blocks.

[0064] The second recognition unit 22 is connected to the first recognition unit 21 and is used to input each image block in the second image set into the first recognition model, and to filter out the image blocks containing lesions from the second image block set according to the recognition results and add them to the first image block set.

[0065] The lesion identification unit 23 is connected to the second identification unit 22 and is used to input the first image block set into the second identification module to identify the boundaries of the lesions contained in each image block in the first image block set to obtain the corresponding identification image block. Then, the image blocks and the image blocks in the first image block set are stitched together to obtain the lesion identification magnetic resonance image.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, during the lesion identification stage, existing algorithms perform high-precision identification of every part of the magnetic resonance image when identifying and labeling lesions, which takes a long time. In this embodiment, two identification models are used to perform "coarse scanning" and "fine scanning" of the magnetic resonance image, respectively. First, the first identification model is used for "coarse scanning". The first identification model uses a lower identification precision to initially identify the areas in the magnetic resonance image that may have lesions (it is not necessary to perform precise boundary labeling of the lesions, it is only necessary to know the approximate range of the lesions). Based on this, the magnetic resonance image is divided into several image blocks (image blocks containing lesions and image blocks not containing lesions) and a first image block set and a second image block set are generated.

[0067] To avoid the "coarse scan" being too inaccurate and missing any lesions, the image blocks in the second image block set are scanned again using a first recognition model with slightly higher accuracy than the first "coarse scan". Based on the scan results, image blocks containing lesions are selected and added to the first image block set.

[0068] Next, a high-precision lesion identification model is used to perform a "precision scan" on each image block containing a lesion in the first image block set, and the lesion boundaries are marked to obtain multiple marked image blocks. After all the markings are completed, all image blocks (each marked image block and the image blocks in the second image set that do not contain lesions) are stitched together (the stitching method is to stitch together according to the positions of the aforementioned segmentation) to obtain the lesion-marked MRI image and display it to the physician and the patient. When displaying the lesion-marked MRI image, each marked image block can also be displayed as a separate part, which makes it easier for the physician to observe and diagnose each lesion.

[0069] Using the above-mentioned method of first "coarse scanning" and then "fine scanning" to annotate lesions in magnetic resonance images can significantly improve the scanning speed of lesions and save time in obtaining lesion-annotated magnetic resonance images.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a lesion identification method based on magnetic resonance imaging is applied to the aforementioned lesion identification system, such as... Figure 2 As shown, lesion identification methods include:

[0071] Step S1: When the current patient enters the scanning area, the lesion recognition system controls the acquisition coil to scan the area to be scanned of the current patient to obtain the magnetic resonance imaging signal. After the electromagnetic interference of the magnetic resonance imaging signal is eliminated, the image is reconstructed to obtain the magnetic resonance image.

[0072] In step S2, the lesion recognition system inputs a pre-trained first lesion recognition model into the magnetic resonance image, and divides the magnetic resonance image into multiple image blocks according to the recognition results to generate a first image block set and a second image block set. Then, the second image block set is input into the first lesion recognition model and the first and second image block sets are adjusted according to the recognition results. Then, the first image block set is input into the pre-trained second lesion recognition model to identify the lesions and obtain multiple corresponding labeled image blocks. The image blocks in the first image block set and the labeled image blocks are stitched together to obtain the lesion-labeled magnetic resonance image.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an interference receiving coil is further provided around the scanning area, such as... Figure 3 As shown, step S1 includes:

[0074] Step S11: When the current patient enters the scanning area, the lesion recognition system controls the acquisition coil to scan the area to be scanned of the current patient to obtain magnetic resonance imaging signals.

[0075] In step S12, the lesion identification system controls the interference receiving coil to collect electromagnetic interference signals from interference sources in the space to the scanning area. Then, the electromagnetic interference signals and magnetic resonance imaging signals are input into the pre-trained interference cancellation model to obtain the corresponding cancellation signals as magnetic resonance imaging signals.

[0076] Step S13: The lesion identification system uses an image reconstruction algorithm to reconstruct the image based on the magnetic resonance imaging signal to obtain a magnetic resonance image.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, step S1 further includes:

[0078] Step S14: The lesion identification system uses a mean filtering algorithm, or a median filtering algorithm, or a non-local mean denoising algorithm, or a wavelet denoising algorithm to denoise the magnetic resonance image and then uses it as the magnetic resonance image.

[0079] Step S15: The lesion identification system performs artifact correction processing on the magnetic resonance image and then uses it as the magnetic resonance image.

[0080] Step S16: The lesion identification system performs image enhancement processing on the magnetic resonance image and then uses it as the magnetic resonance image.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S2 includes:

[0082] Step S21: The lesion recognition system inputs the magnetic resonance image into the pre-trained first recognition model, and divides the magnetic resonance image into multiple image blocks containing lesions and multiple image blocks not containing lesions according to the recognition results. Then, it selects each image block containing lesions to generate a first image set, and generates a second image set according to the remaining image blocks.

[0083] In step S22, the lesion recognition system inputs each image block in the second image set into the first recognition model, and selects image blocks containing lesions from the second image block set according to the recognition results and adds them to the first image block set.

[0084] In step S23, the lesion identification system inputs the first image block set into the second identification module to mark the boundaries of the lesions contained in each image block in the first image block set to obtain the corresponding marked image blocks. Then, the image blocks and the image blocks in the first image block set are stitched together to obtain the lesion marked magnetic resonance image.
