The application provides a motion self-correcting
kidney chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging method and
system, belongs to the CEST imaging technical field, and the imaging method comprises the following steps: collecting an original image, dividing a respiratory state, reconstructing an image,
image registration and fusion, data post-
processing and
signal quantification, and the imaging
system comprises various modules for realizing the imaging method; through CEST
sequence design of 112.5°
radial sampling, k-space reading of fast field echo (TFE) is utilized, the
signal of 0.1-0.5 Hz at the center of k-line is extracted as a
respiratory signal, the respiratory state is divided by using the
respiratory signal and k-space data is split, the images corresponding to different respiratory states are reconstructed, finally, the final CEST-
MRI image is obtained through
image registration and average fusion of the images of different respiratory states, the
signal-to-
noise ratio, saturation efficiency and signal accuracy are ensured, and the problem that the
respiratory motion influences CEST signal quantification when
chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging (CEST-MRI) of the
kidney is performed under
free breathing is solved.
