    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for synthesizing protocol independent magnetic resonance images. A patient is scanned by a magnetic resonance imaging system to acquire magnetic resonance data. The magnetic resonance data is input to a machine learnt generator network trained to extract features from input magnetic resonance data and synthesize protocol independent images using the extracted features. The machine learnt generator network generates a protocol independent segmented magnetic resonance image from the input magnetic resonance data. The protocol independent magnetic resonance image is displayed.

    摘要: For artifact reduction in a magnetic resonance imaging system, deep learning trains an image-to-image neural network to generate an image with reduced artifact from input, artifacted MR data. For application, the image-to-image network may be applied in real time with a lower computational burden than typical post-processing methods. To handle a range of different imaging situations, the image-to-image network may (a) use an auxiliary map as an input with the MR data from the patient, (b) use sequence metadata as a controller of the encoder of the image-to-image network, and/or (c) be trained to generate contrast invariant features in the encoder using a discriminator that receives encoder features.

    摘要: A method for training a system for reconstructing a magnetic resonance image includes: under-sampling image data from each of a plurality of fully-sampled images; and inputting the under-sampled image data to a multi-scale neural network comprising sequentially connected layers. Each layer has an input for receiving input image data and an output for outputting reconstructed image data. Each layer performs a process comprising: decomposing the array of input image data; applying a thresholding function to the decomposed image data, to form a shrunk data, the thresholding function outputting a value asymptotically approaching one when the thresholding function receives an input having a magnitude greater than a first value, reconstructing the shrunk data for combining with a reconstructed image data output by another one of the layers to form updated reconstructed image data, and machine-learning at least one parameter of the decomposing, the thresholding function, or the reconstructing.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for denoising image data includes a computer system receiving an input image comprising noisy image data and denoising the input image using a deep multi-scale network comprising a plurality of multi-scale networks sequentially connected. Each respective multi-scale network performs a denoising process which includes dividing the input image into a plurality of image patches and denoising those image patches over multiple levels of decomposition using a threshold-based denoising process. The threshold-based denoising process denoises each respective image patch using a threshold which is scaled according to an estimation of noise present in the respective image patch. The noising process further comprises the assembly of a denoised image by averaging over the image patches.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for sparse recovery of fiber orientations using a multidimensional Prony method for use in tractography applications includes performing magnetic resonance imaging to acquire a plurality of sparse signal measurements using a q-space sampling scheme which enforces a lattice structure with a predetermined number of collinear samples. Next, for each voxel included in the plurality of sparse signal measurements, a computer system is used to perform a parameter estimation process. This process includes translating a portion of the sparse signal measurements corresponding to the voxel into a plurality of Sparse Approximate Prony Method (SAPM) input parameters, and applying a SAPM process to the SAPM input parameters to recover a number of fiber populations, a plurality of orientation vectors, and a plurality of amplitude scalars. Then, one or more tractograms are generated using the number of fiber populations, the orientation vectors, and the amplitude scalars recovered for each voxel.
