The application discloses a uterus tumor differential diagnosis method and system based on multi-parameter MRI imaging and belongs to the technical field of medical image processing and artificial intelligence diagnosis. The method aims at the problems existing in the current uterus tumor MRI diagnosis, such as strong subjective dependence, insufficient utilization of multi-parameter information, unreasonable feature screening and model construction. The method comprises the following steps: collecting T1WI, T2WI, T2 fat suppression sequence and DWI multi-parameter images; after format standardization, deartifacting and Z-score normalization, a model combining U-Net and attention mechanism is used to realize automatic segmentation of the lesions; multi-dimensional features are extracted and the optimal subset is screened by ANOVA filtering-RFE-SVM packaging method; a stacking integrated model is constructed for training, and the output includes the differential results and confidence of ordinary uterine fibroids, special type uterine fibroids and uterine sarcoma; the application integrates multi-parameter complementary information, improves the segmentation efficiency and feature quality, has strong model generalization ability and accurate diagnosis, is suitable for the actual situation of the scarcity of uterine sarcoma cases, and provides an objective diagnosis tool for clinical use.

The present disclosure relates to a magnetic resonance diffusion imaging fat suppression method based on echo navigation water-fat separation, comprising: acquiring echo and / or navigation echo corresponding to multiple chemical shift encoding points under the condition that the b value is equal to 0 and the condition that the b value is greater than 0; solving the water map, the fat map, the main magnetic field inhomogeneity and the relaxation time of the target object under the condition that the b value is equal to 0, and determining the water map and the fat map of the target object under the condition that the b value is greater than 0. Through the present disclosure, a chemical shift encoding fat suppression method suitable for clinical use is provided for magnetic resonance EPI diffusion imaging, the interference of fat chemical shift artifacts is reduced, the accuracy of image contrast and quantitative parameter measurement is improved, the universality of chemical shift encoding EPI DWI is improved, and the image reconstruction speed and robustness are accelerated.

This invention provides a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus and its control method. In contrast-enhanced MRI, it improves the ability to depict tissues reached by the contrast agent and shortens the overall imaging time. The imaging unit of the MRI apparatus is equipped with a gradient echo pulse sequence for acquiring T1-emphasis images containing fat-suppressing pulses. The control unit performs the following control: the imaging unit repeats the pulse sequence for a given time from the time the contrast agent is administered to the subject, generating images of multiple phases at different arrival locations of the contrast agent. At this time, starting from the phase about to reach the target tissue, a preparatory pulse is added before the pulse sequence to suppress signals from the contrast agent present outside the target tissue (cells).
