    Abstract: Methods and systems for guiding a patient for a medical examination using a medical apparatus. For example, a computer-implemented method for guiding a patient for a medical examination using a medical apparatus includes: receiving an examination protocol for the medical apparatus; determining a reference position based at least in part on the examination protocol; acquiring a patient position; determining a deviation metric based at least in part on comparing the patient position and the reference position; determining whether the deviation metric is greater than a pre-determined deviation threshold; and if the deviation metric is greater than a pre-determined deviation threshold: generating a positioning guidance based at least in part on the determined deviation metric, the positioning guidance including guidance for positioning the patient relative to the medical apparatus.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with processing complex-valued MRI data using a machine learning (ML) model. The ML model may be learned based on synthetically generated MRI training data and by applying one or more meta-learning techniques. The MRI training data may be generated by adding phase information to real-valued MRI data and/or by converting single-coil MRI data into multi-coil MRI data based on coil sensitivity maps. The meta-learning process may include using portions of the training data to conduct a first round of learning to determine updated model parameters and using remaining portions of the training data to test the updated model parameters. Losses associated with the testing may then be determined and used to refine the model parameters. The ML model learned using these techniques may be adopted for a variety of tasks including, for example, MRI image reconstruction and/or de-noising.

    Abstract: A system and method for cardiac function and myocardial strain analysis include techniques and structure for classifying a set of cardiac images according to their views, detecting a heart range and valid short-axis slices in the set of cardiac images, determining heart segment locations, segmenting heart anatomies for each time frame and each slice, calculating volume related parameters, determining key physiological time points, calculating myocardium transmural thickness and deriving a cardiac function measure from the myocardium transmural thickness at the key physiological time points, estimating a dense motion field from the key physiological time points as applied to the set of cardiac images, calculating myocardial strain along different myocardium directions from the dense motion field, and providing the cardiac function measure and myocardial strain calculation to a user through a user interface.

    Abstract: An apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image reconstruction is provided. The apparatus accesses a training set of MRI data for training. The training set can include paired fully sampled data or unpaired fully sampled data. Undersampled MRI data is optimized in an MRI data optimization module to generate reconstructed MRI data. The apparatus builds a discriminative model using the training set and the reconstructed MRI data. During inference, the parameters of the discriminator model are fixed and the discriminator model is used to classify an output of the MRI data optimization model as the reconstructed MRI image.
