Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging control, and specifically to an intelligent control method and system for a magnetic resonance imaging device. Background Art
[0002] Magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive and non-radiative medical imaging technology, which is widely used in the field of clinical diagnosis, especially playing an important role in the early screening and precise positioning of diseases in the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, etc. With the development of medical imaging technology, MRI technology has also gradually moved towards the goals of high resolution, fast imaging, and higher quality images. However, traditional MRI control systems mainly rely on preset scanning parameters, such as scanning time, resolution, and signal intensity, etc., to perform image acquisition.
[0003] Currently, most MRI control systems still rely on fixed parameter settings for scanning. Although these parameters can provide basic image quality under standardized conditions, when facing different patients, different physical conditions, and different scanning parts, the situation of unsatisfactory acquired image quality often occurs. For example, an overly long scanning time may cause discomfort to the patient. Especially when long-term immobility is required, the patient is prone to anxiety and restlessness, and may even interrupt the examination due to inability to cooperate; when the resolution is insufficient, the image details may be unclear, affecting the early detection and diagnosis of diseases; insufficient signal intensity may lead to excessive image noise, resulting in low image quality and affecting the doctor's diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, how to adjust the acquisition parameters in real time according to the actual situation to ensure the optimization of image quality has become a major challenge in the current application of MRI technology.
[0004] The occurrence of this phenomenon mainly stems from the limitations of traditional MRI control systems, which cannot dynamically adjust scanning parameters according to real-time image quality feedback. Since parameter settings are usually based on fixed standards or empirical values, they cannot effectively cope with the individual differences of patients and the changes in the scanning environment during actual operation. As a result, patients may experience an uncomfortable scanning process, and even misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis may occur due to image quality problems. Summary of the Invention

Combine the extracted features through the fully connected layer, and calculate and obtain the image quality score Qe; The image quality score Qe is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, f represents the ReLU activation function, W(fc) represents the weight value of the fully connected layer, b(fc) represents the bias term of the fully connected layer, and fc represents the fully connected layer in the convolutional neural network model; The occurrence probability PI of potential problems is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, represents the Sigmoid activation function. PI represents the occurrence probability of potential problems, represents whether there are potential problems in the image, including the probability of artifacts and noise, and the value is between [0,1].
[0010] Preferably, the parameter inference unit calculates and obtains the acquisition parameter Po based on the acquired image quality score Qe and the occurrence probability PI of potential problems, where the acquisition parameter Po includes the scanning time To, the resolution Ro, and the signal strength So; The scanning time To is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, represents the time adjustment factor; PI represents the occurrence probability of potential problems. If the system identifies serious motion artifacts or hardware problems, the occurrence probability PI of potential problems will be relatively large.

Specifically, the details of the interpolated adjusted image data Irn(x, y) are enhanced through a filter. The enhancement formula is as follows: The adjustment of the scanning time can be controlled by reconstructing the details during the interpolation process of the image data; a longer scanning time usually means more data acquisition points, thus bringing higher image accuracy; for this effect, the details of the interpolated image can be smoothed and enhanced; ; Wherein, G represents the enhancement coefficient, and Filter represents the smoothing filter.
[0013] Preferably, the new image acquisition unit adjusts the brightness and contrast of the adjusted image data Irn(x, y) through the adjusted signal strength Son to obtain the image data Iro; The change in signal strength directly affects the brightness and contrast of the image; when the adjusted signal strength Son increases, the brightness of the image will increase; while when the signal strength decreases, the image may require contrast enhancement to compensate for the low-signal condition; The image data Iro is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, k 1 represents the brightness gain factor, and k 2 represents the contrast adjustment parameter; usually, the contrast is increased when the adjusted signal strength Son is low to maintain the visibility of the image details.

[0015] Preferably, the feedback mechanism and continuous optimization module compare the obtained quality assessment result Qo with the preset quality standard threshold TQo to judge the image quality and obtain the image quality status; The image quality status is obtained through the following formula: When the quality evaluation result Qo ≥ the quality standard threshold TQo, the image quality meets the standard and there is no need to adjust the acquisition parameters; When the quality evaluation result Qo < the quality standard threshold TQo, the image quality does not meet the standard, and it is necessary to adjust the acquisition parameters to generate a parameter adjustment feedback signal; The feedback signal brings the quality evaluation result Qo back to the deep learning model analysis module; the acquisition parameter Po is adjusted through the convolutional neural network model.

When the image quality does not meet the standard, it returns to the deep learning model analysis module to continue adjusting the acquisition parameter Po.
[0017] The present invention provides an intelligent control method and system for a magnetic resonance imaging device, having the following beneficial effects: (1) During the operation of the system, according to the real-time acquired image data and its quality evaluation indicators, the acquisition parameter Po including the scanning time To, the resolution Ro and the signal intensity So is automatically adjusted to ensure the maximization of the image quality of each scan. This intelligent dynamic adjustment not only eliminates the need for manual intervention, but also optimizes the parameter settings for different patients and scanning parts, thereby effectively improving the diagnostic effect.
[0018] Traditional MRI systems often result in overly long scan times or poor image quality due to the use of fixed scanning parameters, causing unnecessary physical discomfort and psychological stress to patients. By automatically adjusting parameters such as scan time and resolution, the system can optimize the scanning process according to actual needs, reduce unnecessary scan time, relieve patients' discomfort, and reduce patients' anxiety.
[0019] (2) By introducing a data acquisition and preliminary analysis module, the system can conduct a preliminary assessment of the noise level and clarity of the original image data, ensuring real-time monitoring of image quality during the acquisition process. This real-time image quality assessment can provide more accurate data support for subsequent deep learning model analysis, thereby precisely adjusting the acquisition parameters to ensure the best image quality. This innovation effectively avoids the problem that fixed parameter settings cannot adapt to different patients and scanning environments.
[0020] The deep learning model analysis module extracts features of image data through convolutional neural networks, including edge features, texture features, and shape features, which are crucial for the evaluation of image quality. The convolutional layer can automatically extract the detailed features of the image, and through the combination of feature maps and pooling layers, precisely analyze the quality of the image. Through this efficient feature extraction, the system can more comprehensively evaluate the image quality and further improve the diagnostic accuracy of the image.
[0021] (3) The system reduces the need for manual intervention through a fully automated parameter adjustment and quality assessment mechanism. This not only improves the efficiency of the scanning process but also ensures that under different patients and scanning conditions, the system can automatically optimize the acquisition parameters Po, such as scan time To, resolution Ro, and signal intensity So, thereby improving the image quality and diagnostic accuracy. The automated process makes the operation more convenient and reduces the occurrence of human errors. It not only focuses on traditional image quality standards but also conducts quality assessment through the noise level Nr and clarity Cr to ensure more comprehensive and detailed image quality; the system combines a feedback mechanism with a continuous optimization module, gradually optimizing the scanning process by continuously obtaining image quality assessment results and feedback-adjusting the acquisition parameters.
[0022] (4) The system intelligently infers the acquisition parameters Po by combining the image quality score Qe and the probability of potential problems PI. This parameter inference mechanism based on real-time image quality feedback can precisely adjust the acquisition parameters dynamically according to the specific scanning environment and patients' needs, thereby avoiding the problem of fixed parameters in traditional MRI systems that cannot be adjusted in real time.
[0023] The parameter adaptive adjustment module ensures the best image quality for each scan by fine-tuning the acquired parameter Po. By flexibly adjusting the scan time To, resolution Ro, and signal strength So, the system can adapt to different clinical needs, ensuring clear and noise-free diagnostic images while avoiding patient discomfort caused by overly long scan times.
[0024] In actual operation, the system dynamically adjusts the scan time To, resolution Ro, and signal strength So according to the occurrence probability PI of potential problems and the change in the image quality score Qe. For example, when the occurrence probability PI of potential problems is high, the system automatically increases the scan time To and resolution Ro to ensure image quality; conversely, it reduces the scan time To to optimize the efficiency of the diagnostic process.

This method based on real-time feedback and continuous optimization enables the MRI scanning system to have the ability of self-learning and continuous improvement, continuously improving its performance during long-term use to ensure that the effect of each scan can be maximally optimized. Embodiment 3
[0040] This embodiment is an explanatory description carried out in Embodiment 2. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Specifically: The parameter speculation unit calculates and obtains the acquisition parameter Po according to the obtained image quality score Qe and the occurrence probability PI of potential problems, where the acquisition parameter Po includes the scanning time To, resolution Ro, and signal intensity So; The scanning time To is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, represents the time adjustment factor; The resolution Ro is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, represents the resolution adjustment factor; The signal intensity So is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, represents the signal adjustment factor.

[0042] In this embodiment, the system intelligently infers the acquisition parameter Po by combining the image quality score Qe and the occurrence probability PI of potential problems. This parameter inference mechanism based on real-time image quality feedback can accurately adjust the acquisition parameters dynamically according to the specific scanning environment and the needs of patients, thus avoiding the problem of fixed parameters that cannot be adjusted in real time in traditional MRI systems.
[0043] The parameter adaptive adjustment module ensures the best image quality for each scan by fine-tuning the acquisition parameter Po. Through flexible adjustment of the scan time To, resolution Ro and signal strength So, the system can adapt to different clinical needs, ensure clear and noise-free diagnostic images, and avoid patient discomfort caused by excessive scan time.
[0044] In actual operation, the system dynamically adjusts the scan time To, resolution Ro, and signal strength So according to the changes in the probability of occurrence of potential problems PI and the image quality score Qe. For example, when the probability of occurrence of potential problems PI is high, the system will automatically increase the scan time To and resolution Ro to ensure image quality, otherwise it will reduce the scan time To, thereby optimizing the efficiency of the diagnostic process.
[0045] By fine-tuning the time To, resolution Ro, and signal strength So, the system can significantly reduce unnecessary waiting time during the scanning process while ensuring image quality. Excessive scanning time not only increases the patient's physical burden, but may also affect the efficiency of the overall scanning process. The optimization adjustment of the system can effectively improve scanning efficiency, reduce patient waiting time and operator burden.
[0046] The system precisely controls the signal strength So and resolution Ro, so that each image acquisition can be performed at the most appropriate signal and resolution, avoiding noise problems caused by too low signal strength and image overexposure problems caused by too high signal strength. At the same time, adjusting the resolution Ro can also optimize according to the required level of detail, ensuring that the image has high-resolution details without wasting scanning time due to too high resolution.
[0047] The system eliminates the need for manual intervention by automatically adjusting and inferring the acquisition parameters Po. Operators no longer need to manually adjust acquisition parameters under different patients and scanning conditions, which not only improves operational efficiency but also reduces the incidence of human errors. The system's adaptive adjustment is based on the actual image quality score Qe and the probability of potential problems occurring PI, and can be fine-tuned based on real-time feedback. Each adjustment, including the time adjustment ΔT, resolution adjustment ΔR, and signal strength adjustment ΔS, is calculated based on precise algorithms to ensure that each adjustment can effectively improve image quality and avoid quality degradation or waste of resources caused by blind adjustments.

The size of the original image data Ir is (Wr, Hr). After adjustment through the adjusted resolution Ron, the new image size obtained is (Wro, Hro); Among them, Wro = Ron * Wr, Hro = Ron * Hr; For the pixel points in the original image data Ir, calculate through the bicubic interpolation method to obtain the adjusted image data Irn(x, y); Adjust the details of the adjusted image data Irn(x, y) through the adjusted scanning time Ton. Specifically, enhance the details of the interpolated adjusted image data Irn(x, y) through a filter. The enhancement formula is as follows: ; In the formula, G represents the enhancement coefficient, and Filter represents the smoothing filter.
[0049] The new image acquisition unit adjusts the brightness and contrast of the adjusted image data Irn(x, y) through the adjusted signal strength Son to obtain the image data Iro; The image data Iro is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, k 1 represents the brightness gain factor, and k 2 represents the contrast adjustment parameter.
[0050] The image quality verification and quality assessment module analyzes the noise characteristics, sharpness characteristics, and contrast characteristics of the image data Iro to obtain the noise assessment SNR(Iro), sharpness assessment C(Iro), and contrast assessment CD(Iro), evaluates the quality of the image data Iro, and obtains the quality assessment result Qo; The noise assessment SNR(Iro) is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, μIro represents the mean of the pixel values of the image data Iro, and σIro represents the standard deviation of the pixel values of the image data Iro; The sharpness assessment C(Iro) is obtained through the following formula: ; In the formula, N represents the total number of pixels of the image data Iro, represents the gradient value at the pixel point (i, j); The contrast evaluation CD(Iro) is obtained by the following formula: ; Where max(Iro) represents the peak value of the gray value in the image data Iro, and min(Iro) represents the valley value of the gray value in the image data Iro; The quality evaluation result Qo is obtained by the following formula: ; Where respectively represent the preset weight values of the noise evaluation SNR(Iro), the sharpness evaluation C(Iro), and the contrast evaluation CD(Iro), and .
[0051] The feedback mechanism and continuous optimization module compare the obtained quality evaluation result Qo with the preset quality standard threshold TQo to judge the image quality and obtain the image quality status; The image quality status is obtained by the following formula: When the quality evaluation result Qo ≥ the quality standard threshold TQo, the image quality meets the standard and there is no need to adjust the acquisition parameters; When the quality evaluation result Qo < the quality standard threshold TQo, the image quality does not meet the standard, and it is necessary to adjust the acquisition parameters to generate a parameter adjustment feedback signal; The feedback signal brings the quality evaluation result Qo back to the deep learning model analysis module; the acquisition parameter Po is adjusted through the convolutional neural network model.
[0052] Specific example: The preset quality standard threshold TQo = 10.5; The obtained noise evaluation SNR(Iro) = 8.00; The sharpness evaluation C(Iro) = 25; The contrast evaluation CD(Iro) = 0.80; Preset are 0.4, 0.3, and 0.3 respectively; Calculate the quality evaluation result Qo: ; The quality evaluation result Qo = 10.94 > the quality standard threshold TQo = 10.5, indicating that the image quality meets the standard.
[0053] Table 1 ; In this embodiment, the image resampling module adaptively interpolates and adjusts the original image data Ir using the adjusted scan time Ton and the adjusted resolution Ron. By adjusting the resolution to modify the image size and combining with bicubic interpolation for detail optimization, both the size and quality of the image can be precisely matched to the current acquisition requirements. This process can flexibly adjust the image size while ensuring image quality, meeting the needs in different clinical scenarios.
[0054] Based on the image interpolation, the image detail enhancement operation enhances the details of the image through a smoothing filter and an enhancement coefficient G. This detail enhancement process optimizes the image quality, enabling the maintenance or even improvement of image clarity while adjusting the image size. For some clinical applications with high detail requirements, this optimization is particularly important, providing more refined and clear image data.
[0055] The brightness and contrast of the image are dynamically adjusted by the adjusted signal intensity Son. The brightness gain factor k1 and the contrast adjustment parameter k2 control the display effect of the image, ensuring that both the contrast and brightness of the image can match the actual scanning conditions, avoiding image distortion or the inability to clearly display important information due to inappropriate brightness or contrast. The image quality verification and quality assessment module evaluates the image quality from multiple dimensions including noise assessment SNR(Iro), clarity assessment C(Iro), and contrast assessment CD(Iro). This comprehensive quality assessment method can comprehensively measure various quality indicators of the image, ensuring accurate and reliable assessment results. This is crucial for clinical diagnosis, helping doctors quickly evaluate whether the image meets the standards and make better judgments accordingly.
[0056] In the image quality assessment, the precise assessment of noise and clarity is calculated through the pixel mean, standard deviation, and gradient value in the formula. This enables the system to accurately identify the noise level in the image and automatically adjust parameters to improve clarity, avoiding low-quality images that may affect diagnosis. In this way, the improvement of image quality not only depends on parameter adjustment but can also be automatically optimized through intelligent algorithms. The feedback mechanism and continuous optimization module automatically determine whether the image meets the standards by comparing the quality assessment results with the preset quality standard threshold TQo and generate a feedback signal based on the assessment results. If the image quality does not meet the standard, the system automatically returns to the deep learning model analysis module to continue adjusting the acquisition parameters Po. This continuous optimization feedback mechanism ensures that the best image quality can be achieved through parameter fine-tuning after each scan.
[0057] The system can optimize image quality based on real-time feedback to ensure that the final image results always meet the preset quality standard threshold TQo. This process helps eliminate image quality problems caused by unsatisfactory scanning conditions, ensures that the final image meets high standards of clinical diagnosis, and avoids misdiagnosis caused by quality problems.
[0058] Precise image acquisition and quality adjustment not only improves the accuracy of diagnosis, but also significantly improves diagnostic efficiency by reducing repeated scanning time. For patients, this also means a more efficient and comfortable diagnostic experience, avoiding repeated scanning processes caused by substandard image quality. Through automated image acquisition optimization and continuous feedback mechanisms, the system can automatically adjust parameters according to real-time image quality, avoid unnecessary repeated scans, maximize the use efficiency of magnetic resonance imaging equipment, avoid waste of equipment resources, and thus improve the operational efficiency of the hospital. Example 5
[0059] An intelligent control method for magnetic resonance imaging equipment, please refer to Figure 2 , specifically: including the following steps: Step 1: The data acquisition and preliminary analysis module acquires the original image data Ir from the magnetic resonance imaging device and performs a preliminary quality assessment to obtain preliminary evaluation indicators, including the noise level Nr and the clarity Cr; Step 2: The deep learning model analysis module uses a convolutional neural network model and combines the noise level Nr and the clarity Cr to perform real-time analysis on the original image data Ir, predict the image quality score Qe and the probability of occurrence of potential problems PI of the original image data Ir, and infer the acquisition parameter Po; Step 3: The parameter adaptive adjustment module automatically adjusts the acquisition parameter Po of the magnetic resonance imaging device by using the convolutional neural network model to obtain the adjusted acquisition parameter Pon; Step 4: The image resampling module re-acquires the original image data Ir according to the adjusted acquisition parameter Pon to obtain the image data Iro; Step 5: The image quality verification and quality assessment module verifies the quality of the image data Iro and obtains the quality assessment result Qo; Step 6: The feedback mechanism and continuous optimization module judges the image quality based on the obtained quality assessment result Qo. When the image quality does not meet the standard, it returns to the deep learning model analysis module to continue adjusting the acquisition parameter Po.
[0060] In this embodiment, an automated quality assessment and acquisition parameter adjustment process is achieved. After each acquisition, the system can analyze the image quality in real time and automatically adjust the acquisition parameters Po, including the scanning time To, resolution Ro, and signal intensity So, reducing the need for manual intervention and optimizing the operation process. By integrating deep learning algorithms, the system can perform real-time quality assessment on the original image data, automatically predict the occurrence probability PI of potential problems, and infer the acquisition parameters. This enables the MRI device to dynamically adjust according to the actual image quality during each scan, ensuring that the final image meets the standards and avoiding misdiagnosis or rescan caused by low-quality images.
[0061] The image resampling module re-acquires the image according to the acquisition parameters Pon after real-time adjustment to ensure effective adjustment of the image size, quality, and details. During the adjustment process, the deep learning model is used to intelligently predict and dynamically optimize the parameters to maximize the clarity and details of the image, reduce the complexity of manual adjustment, and enhance the diagnostic value of the image.
[0062] Continuous optimization and feedback mechanism: The feedback mechanism and continuous optimization function of this method enable the system to adjust the acquisition parameters based on the quality assessment results after each image acquisition. This adaptive optimization method ensures the quality improvement after each image acquisition and avoids repeated scans caused by inappropriate parameters. This not only improves the image quality but also reduces the time and waste of device resources required for repeated scans due to unqualified image quality.
[0063] The data acquisition and preliminary analysis module evaluates the noise level Nr and clarity Cr to ensure that the deep learning model analysis module analyzes based on accurate preliminary data. This step helps the system to refine the analysis of noise and clarity problems in the image and dynamically adjust the parameters according to the occurrence probability of these problems to further optimize the image quality. Through deep learning analysis and adaptive adjustment, the system can automatically optimize the acquisition parameters based on real-time feedback without manual intervention. This eliminates the need to waste time on cumbersome adjustment of scanning settings after each scan and avoids repeated scans due to non-compliant image quality, improving the overall diagnostic efficiency and shortening the patient's waiting time.
[0064] Through intelligent control and automatic optimization, the scanning efficiency of the device has been significantly improved. Repeated scans caused by improper parameter adjustment are avoided, and the utilization rate and efficiency of the device are enhanced. This not only saves time but also improves the production capacity of the device, thereby reducing the operating costs. The design of the feedback mechanism and continuous optimization module enables this intelligent control method to have the ability of continuous self-optimization. The quality assessment results after each scan provide new feedback to the system, and the system will dynamically adjust the acquisition parameters based on this feedback, gradually improving the image quality and ensuring that each scan can achieve the best results.
[0065] Through this intelligent control method, the magnetic resonance imaging device can more precisely adapt to the needs of different patients and different scanning sites, and optimize the image quality in real time. This provides doctors with higher-quality imaging data, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of clinical diagnosis and enhancing the ability to support the early detection and diagnosis of diseases.
