[0052] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0053] Before introducing the technical solution of the present application in detail, a brief introduction to the technical background of the present application is first given.
[0054] Taking the determination process of longitudinal relaxation time as an example, in the related art, the longitudinal magnetization vector is mainly flipped by applying an inversion recovery pulse, and then the images with different inversion recovery times are acquired by using a magnetic resonance imaging sequence at different times. Since the signal intensity after different inversion recovery times satisfies the exponential change, the images with different inversion recovery times are exponentially fitted to obtain the longitudinal relaxation time. The longitudinal relaxation time constant fitted by this method is more accurate, especially the inversion recovery spin echo sequence method is often used as the gold standard method in the quantitative longitudinal relaxation time of magnetic resonance applications. In theory, since the longitudinal magnetization vector is reversed to the negative direction after applying the inversion recovery sequence, the recovery of the magnetic resonance signal is a process of gradually recovering from the negative value to the positive steady-state value. However, the images reconstructed by the conventional magnetic resonance imaging sequence are often positive in amplitude diagram, so it is necessary to first negate a part of the magnetic resonance signal value and then fit it. This results in the magnetic resonance signal value close to zero being unable to determine whether it is positive or negative. The incorrect processing of the magnetic resonance signal value at this point will cause errors in the fitted longitudinal relaxation time. Of course, it is also possible to reconstruct a phase diagram from the collected data and then determine the sign of the magnetic resonance signal value near the zero point. However, factors such as magnetic field unevenness and movement may cause the phase diagram to be inaccurate, and it is impossible to accurately identify the sign of the magnetic resonance signal value near the zero point.
[0055] For example, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the magnetic resonance signal curve actually collected. The curve in this figure is an amplitude diagram of the image reconstructed by the magnetic resonance imaging sequence, which is often only positive values. It can be seen from the figure that the first half gradually decreases from +M to 0, and then gradually increases from 0 to +M according to the exponential function curve. The part of the curve that gradually decreases from +M to 0 is the part where the magnetic resonance signal value needs to be inverted.
[0056] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a method and system for measuring the longitudinal relaxation time of magnetic resonance. For the longitudinal magnetization vector flipped by inversion recovery pulse, and then the amplitude image collected by magnetic resonance imaging sequence at different times, the amplitude map can be used to fit the longitudinal relaxation time constant. In the fitting process, the magnetic resonance signal value closest to zero is taken as positive and negative values, respectively, and then the longitudinal relaxation time is fitted, and the fitting value with high fitting goodness is selected as the final fitting result to improve the accuracy of the fitting longitudinal relaxation time. Of course, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to solving the above problems, and there are other technical effects, which can be specifically referred to in the following embodiment description. Next, the technical solution of the present application is introduced in detail.
[0057] The magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 2In the application environment shown. The application environment includes a computer device 101 and a magnetic resonance device 102, and the computer device 101 and the magnetic resonance device 102 communicate with each other. The magnetic resonance device 102 is used to acquire magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition times when an inversion recovery pulse is applied to a region of interest of an acquisition object. The computer device 101 is used to obtain the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position in the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition times; fit the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position to obtain a first fitting result at each pixel position; and fit the opposite number of the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position to obtain a second fitting result at each pixel position; determine the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement result according to the first fitting result and the second fitting result at each pixel position.
[0058] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a method for determining magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time is provided, and the method is applied to Figure 2 The computer device in the example is used to illustrate, including the following steps 101 to 103. Among them:
[0059] S101, obtaining the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position in the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition moments.
[0060] The multiple acquisition moments refer to multiple moments after the magnetic resonance device applies an inversion recovery pulse to the region of interest of the acquisition object. For example, the multiple acquisition moments may be the 1st second, 3rd second, 5th second, etc. after the inversion recovery pulse is applied.
[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the computer device may send a magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement instruction generated based on user needs to the magnetic resonance device based on user needs. The magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement instruction carries a magnetic resonance image acquisition instruction at multiple times after applying an inversion recovery pulse. Then, after the magnetic resonance device applies an inversion recovery pulse to the region of interest of the acquisition object, the magnetic resonance device may acquire magnetic resonance images of the region of interest of the acquisition object at a preset time interval or in real time, and send the acquired magnetic resonance images at multiple times to the computer device. Optionally, the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition times acquired by the magnetic resonance device after applying the inversion recovery pulse are stored in the image memory of the magnetic resonance device. The computer device may send an image acquisition instruction to the magnetic resonance device, and when the magnetic resonance device receives the image acquisition instruction, it sends the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition times in the image memory that match the image acquisition instruction to the computer device.
[0062] Further, when magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition moments are acquired, each pixel position refers to a position corresponding to each magnetic resonance image. For example, assuming that the number of acquisition moments is 5 and the magnetic resonance images are A, B, C, D and E, respectively, then the pixel position may be the first pixel point in the magnetic resonance images A, B, C, D and E.
[0063] For any pixel position, the computer device can obtain the magnetic resonance signal value of the pixel position on each magnetic resonance image, and screen the magnetic resonance signal values to determine the minimum magnetic resonance signal value from multiple magnetic resonance signal values. And, the magnetic resonance signal values other than the minimum magnetic resonance signal value are all used as other magnetic resonance signal values.
[0064] Exemplarily, the number of acquisition moments is N, and the size of the magnetic resonance image can be (Nx, Ny). The magnetic resonance signal value of the i,j-th pixel point (one pixel position) in the k-th magnetic resonance image is Imk(i,j), where 1≤i≤Nx, 1≤j≤Ny. That is, the minimum magnetic resonance signal value Imh(i,j) is found from Im1(i,j)-ImN(i,j), and the order of the magnetic resonance image corresponding to the minimum magnetic resonance signal value is h.
[0065] S102, fitting the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position to obtain a first fitting result at each pixel position; and fitting the inverse of the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position to obtain a second fitting result at each pixel position.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, when the magnetic resonance device applies an inversion recovery pulse to the region of interest of the acquisition object, the magnetic resonance signal changes from +M to -M, and then recovers until it returns to the equilibrium state of +M and remains unchanged. This recovery process satisfies an exponential function, which can be expressed as:
[0067]
[0068] in, represents the intensity of the longitudinal magnetization vector at the tth moment after the inversion recovery pulse is applied; T1 represents the longitudinal relaxation time; M is the intensity of the longitudinal magnetization vector in the equilibrium state.
[0069] Figure 4It is a schematic diagram of the theoretical recovery curve of the magnetic resonance signal after an inversion recovery pulse. After each application of the inversion recovery pulse, the magnetic resonance signal value can be measured using a magnetic resonance imaging sequence at different acquisition times. In order to fit the recovery process of the magnetic resonance signal, it is necessary to take the negative value of the corresponding magnetic resonance signal value before fitting and then perform calculations. However, the magnetic resonance signal value close to zero cannot be determined whether it is positive or negative, and the incorrect processing of the magnetic resonance signal value at this point will cause an error in the longitudinal relaxation time constant obtained by fitting.
[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 1 looking, the magnetic resonance signal value whose positive or negative cannot be determined refers to the minimum value of the actually acquired magnetic resonance signal curve. Therefore, after the computer device obtains the minimum magnetic resonance signal value at each pixel position, it can perform fitting by taking the positive value or negative value of the minimum magnetic resonance signal value respectively. Specifically, for any pixel position, the computer device can use the exponential function fitting method to fit the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at this pixel position to obtain the first fitting result. The first fitting result here is the exponential function curve corresponding to the positive value. At the same time, the computer device can also use the exponential function fitting method to fit the opposite number of the minimum magnetic resonance signal value at this pixel position and other magnetic resonance signal values to obtain the second fitting result. The second fitting result here is the exponential function curve corresponding to the negative value.
[0071] Exemplarily, the opposite number of the minimum magnetic resonance signal value is Imm(i,j)=-Imm(i,j), m<h, and the minimum magnetic resonance signal value takes the positive value or negative value respectively, that is, Imh(i,j)=-Imh(i,j) or Imh(i,j)=Imh(i,j). Based on T1 and Im(i,j), the least squares fitting of the target formula is performed to obtain the first fitting result and the second fitting result. Among them, the target formula can be expressed as: . The longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the first fitting result is expressed as T1 + (i,j), and the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the second fitting result is expressed as T1 - (i,j).
[0072] S103. Determine the measurement result of the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time according to the first fitting result and the second fitting result of each pixel position.
[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement result is determined by the longitudinal relaxation time measurement result at each pixel position. Therefore, for any pixel position, the computer device can evaluate the first fitting result and the second fitting result of the pixel position respectively according to the preset evaluation rules, and use the fitting result with a better evaluation result as the longitudinal relaxation time measurement result of the pixel position. Alternatively, the computer device can also compare the first fitting result and the second fitting result, and use the fitting result with a better effect as the longitudinal relaxation time measurement result of the pixel position. Then combine the longitudinal relaxation time measurement results of multiple pixel positions, and use the combined result as the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement result.
[0074] In the above-mentioned magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination method, the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position in the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition moments are obtained; the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position are fitted to obtain a first fitting result at each pixel position; and the opposite number of the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position are fitted to obtain a second fitting result at each pixel position; and the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination result is determined based on the first fitting result and the second fitting result at each pixel position. The method starts from the pixel positions of the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition moments, and in the fitting process, the magnetic resonance signal values closest to zero are respectively taken as positive values and negative values, and then the longitudinal relaxation time is fitted, and based on the positive value fitting result and the negative value fitting result, the fitting result of each pixel position can be accurately obtained, so that the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination result can be accurately determined.
[0075] Next, the specific content of determining the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement result according to the first fitting result and the second fitting result of each pixel position is introduced through an embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the specific content includes the following steps:
[0076] S201, determining the longitudinal relaxation time of each pixel position according to the first fitting result and the second fitting result of each pixel position.
[0077] In an embodiment of the present application, for any pixel position, the computer device can use a preset evaluation rule to evaluate the first fitting result and the second fitting result respectively, and filter out the fitting result with a higher evaluation from the two evaluation results. The longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the fitting result with a higher evaluation is used as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position. Alternatively, the computer device can also obtain the degree of discreteness of the sampling point and the fitting curve on the first fitting result of the pixel position and the degree of discreteness of the sampling point and the fitting curve on the second fitting result, and use the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the fitting result with a lower degree of discreteness as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position.
[0078] S202, combining the longitudinal relaxation times of all pixel positions as the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement result.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, after the longitudinal relaxation time of each pixel position is obtained, the computer device can sort the longitudinal relaxation times of all pixel positions according to the position of each pixel in the magnetic resonance image, and combine the sorted multiple longitudinal relaxation times to obtain a combined result as the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement result.
[0080] In the above-mentioned magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination method, the longitudinal relaxation time of each pixel position is determined according to the first fitting result and the second fitting result of each pixel position; the combined result of the longitudinal relaxation time of all pixel positions is used as the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination result. Starting from the pixel perspective, the method accurately determines the longitudinal relaxation time of each pixel position by analyzing the first fitting result and the second fitting result of each pixel position, thereby accurately determining the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination result on the entire magnetic resonance image.
[0081] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the specific content of determining the longitudinal relaxation time of each pixel position according to the first fitting result and the second fitting result of each pixel position is introduced, and the specific content includes the following steps:
[0082] S301, for any pixel position, obtaining a first fitting evaluation result corresponding to a first fitting result of the pixel position, and obtaining a second fitting evaluation result corresponding to a second fitting result of the pixel position.
[0083] The fitting evaluation result is an evaluation of the accuracy of the fitting result. Specifically, it represents the degree of discreteness between each pixel point and the fitting curve.
[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, for any pixel position, the computer device can evaluate the first fitting result according to a preset evaluation rule to obtain a first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result. At the same time, the computer device can also evaluate the second fitting result according to the evaluation rule to obtain a second fitting evaluation result corresponding to the second fitting result.
[0085] Alternatively, the computer device may also use the evaluation model to evaluate the first fitting result and the second fitting result respectively, to obtain a first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result and a second fitting evaluation result corresponding to the second fitting result. The first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result can be expressed as R + 2 (i, j), the second fitting evaluation result corresponding to the second fitting result can be expressed as R - 2 S302: Determine the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position according to the first fitting evaluation result and the second fitting evaluation result.
[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the first fitting evaluation result and the second fitting evaluation result, the computer device can filter out the fitting evaluation result with a higher evaluation from the two fitting evaluation results, and determine the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position based on the fitting evaluation result with a higher evaluation.
[0087] In the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination method, for any pixel position, a first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result of the pixel position is obtained, and a second fitting evaluation result corresponding to the second fitting result of the pixel position is obtained; the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position is determined according to the first fitting evaluation result and the second fitting evaluation result. For any pixel position, the method can more objectively analyze the two fitting results by evaluating the two fitting results respectively and based on the evaluation results of the two fitting results, so that the longitudinal relaxation time at the pixel position can be accurately determined.
[0088] Assuming that the first fitting result is a first fitting curve, then, in one embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the specific content of the first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result of the pixel position obtained above includes:
[0089] S401, obtaining a vertical distance between a magnetic resonance signal value at a pixel position on each magnetic resonance image and a first fitting curve.
[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the first fitting curve is obtained by fitting the multiple magnetic resonance signal values corresponding to the pixel position, so a part of the multiple magnetic resonance signal values may be on the first fitting curve, and another part may be distributed around the first fitting curve. Based on this, the computer device can calculate the multiple theoretical magnetic resonance signal values at the pixel position based on the first fitting curve. And calculate the error between each magnetic resonance signal value and the corresponding theoretical magnetic resonance signal value, and use the error as the vertical distance between the magnetic resonance signal value on each magnetic resonance image and the first fitting curve.
[0091] S402: Determine a first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result based on an average value of each vertical distance.
[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the vertical distance between the magnetic resonance signal value on each magnetic resonance image and the first fitting curve, the computer device can calculate the average value of multiple vertical distances. The average value of multiple vertical distances indicates the degree of discreteness between the signal value and the fitting curve. Then, the computer device can map the average value of each vertical distance according to the mapping relationship between the vertical distance average value and the evaluation value to obtain the first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result.
[0093] In the above-mentioned method for determining the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time, the vertical distance between the magnetic resonance signal value at the pixel position on each magnetic resonance image and the first fitting curve is obtained; based on the average value of each vertical distance, the first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result is determined. By obtaining the vertical distance between each magnetic resonance signal value and the first fitting curve and calculating the average value of multiple vertical distances, the method can accurately determine the degree of discreteness of multiple magnetic resonance signal values, thereby accurately evaluating the first fitting result and obtaining a more accurate first fitting evaluation result.
[0094] Similarly, the second fitting evaluation result corresponding to the second fitting result of the pixel position can also be obtained in the above manner. Specifically, the vertical distance between the magnetic resonance signal value of the pixel position on each magnetic resonance image and the second fitting curve is obtained; based on the average value of each vertical distance, the second fitting evaluation result corresponding to the second fitting result is determined.
[0095] Next, a specific method for determining the longitudinal relaxation time of a pixel position according to the first fitting evaluation result and the second fitting evaluation result is introduced through an embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, the specific content includes the following steps:
[0096] S501, comparing the first fitting evaluation result and the second fitting evaluation result.
[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the first fitting evaluation result corresponding to the first fitting result and the second fitting evaluation result corresponding to the second fitting result, since the first fitting evaluation result and the second fitting evaluation result are both evaluation values of the fitting results, the higher the evaluation value, the better the evaluation result. For example, if the first fitting evaluation result is 0.98 and the second fitting evaluation result is 0.8, then, in comparison, the first fitting evaluation result is greater than the second fitting evaluation result.
[0098] S502: If the first fitting evaluation result is greater than the second fitting evaluation result, the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the first fitting result is used as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position.
[0099] In an embodiment of the present application, if the comparison result is that the first fitting evaluation result is greater than the second fitting evaluation result, it means that the first fitting evaluation result is closer to 1, that is, the first fitting result is more accurate. Then, the computer device can obtain the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the first fitting result and use the longitudinal relaxation time as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position.
[0100] S503: If the first fitting evaluation result is smaller than the second fitting evaluation result, the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the second fitting result is used as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position.
[0101] In an embodiment of the present application, if the comparison result is that the first fitting evaluation result is less than the second fitting evaluation result, it means that the second fitting evaluation result is closer to 1, that is, the second fitting result is more accurate. Then, the computer device can obtain the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the second fitting result and use the longitudinal relaxation time as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position.
[0102] S504: If the first fitting evaluation result is equal to the second fitting evaluation result, the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the first fitting result or the second fitting result is used as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position.
[0103] In an embodiment of the present application, if the comparison result is that the first fitting evaluation result is equal to the second fitting evaluation result, indicating that the first fitting evaluation result is the same as the second fitting evaluation result, then the computer device can obtain the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the first fitting result or the second fitting result, and use the longitudinal relaxation time as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position.
[0104] In the above magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination method, the first fitting evaluation result and the second fitting evaluation result are compared; if the first fitting evaluation result is greater than the second fitting evaluation result, the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the first fitting result is used as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position; if the first fitting evaluation result is less than the second fitting evaluation result, the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the second fitting result is used as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position; if the first fitting evaluation result is equal to the second fitting evaluation result, the longitudinal relaxation time corresponding to the first fitting result or the second fitting result is used as the longitudinal relaxation time of the pixel position. By comparing the first fitting evaluation result and the second fitting evaluation result, the method can accurately screen out a more accurate longitudinal relaxation time from the first fitting result and the second fitting result based on different comparison results, thereby improving the accuracy of the longitudinal relaxation time of each pixel position.
[0105] The above embodiments are all about describing the specific process of determining the magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time measurement result according to the first fitting result and the second fitting result of each pixel position.

[0106] S601, acquiring magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition times after applying an inversion recovery pulse.
[0107] In an embodiment of the present application, the computer device can control the magnetic resonance device to collect magnetic resonance signals at multiple collection times after applying the inversion recovery pulse. The computer device can also search for magnetic resonance signals at multiple collection times after applying the inversion recovery pulse from a signal database. After acquiring the magnetic resonance signals at multiple collection times, the computer device can reconstruct the image of the magnetic resonance signal at each collection time to obtain magnetic resonance images at multiple collection times.
[0108] S602, analyzing the magnetic resonance signal values of each pixel position in the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition moments, screening out the minimum magnetic resonance signal value of each pixel position from each pixel position; and taking the magnetic resonance signal values other than the minimum magnetic resonance signal value as other magnetic resonance signal values.
[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, since the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition moments are all images of the region of interest of the acquisition object, the same pixel position of each magnetic resonance image represents a fixed position on the region of interest. Therefore, for any pixel position, the computer device can obtain the magnetic resonance signal value of the pixel position in each magnetic resonance image, and filter out the minimum magnetic resonance signal value from the multiple magnetic resonance signal values. And the magnetic resonance signal values other than the minimum magnetic resonance signal value are all used as other magnetic resonance signal values.
[0110] In the above-mentioned magnetic resonance longitudinal relaxation time determination method, magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition times after applying an inversion recovery pulse are obtained; the magnetic resonance signal values of each pixel position in the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition times are analyzed, and the minimum magnetic resonance signal value of each pixel position is screened out from each pixel position; and the magnetic resonance signal values other than the minimum magnetic resonance signal value are used as other magnetic resonance signal values. By comparing multiple magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position of the magnetic resonance images at multiple acquisition times, the method can accurately screen out the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values from multiple magnetic resonance signal values, which is convenient for the subsequent fitting process.

[0114] S703, fitting the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position to obtain a first fitting result at each pixel position; and fitting the inverse of the minimum magnetic resonance signal value and other magnetic resonance signal values at each pixel position to obtain a second fitting result at each pixel position;
