Abstract:
Provided are a magnetic resonance chemical-shift-encoded imaging method, apparatus, and device, belonging to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging. The method comprises: in a phasor-error plot established on the basis of a two-point magnetic resonance signal model, determining to be an initial seed point a pixel having a unique phasor and causing said plot to reach a minimal local value; according to the initial seed point, estimating the phasor value of a to-be-estimated pixel to obtain a field map; mapping and merging the field map at the highest resolution to obtain a reconstructed field map; determining a reconstructed seed point from the reconstructed field map, and estimating the reconstructed seed point to obtain the phasor value of the reconstructed to-be-estimated pixel; according to the reconstructed seed point and the phasor value of the reconstructed to-be-estimated pixel, obtaining two separate images having predetermined components. In the method, a region simultaneously containing two components is identified as a seed point, eliminating the deviation caused by phasor-value jump at high resolution and ensuring the correctness of the seed point ultimately selected.
