    摘要: Methods and a system to unify reconstruction and motion estimation steps in first pass cardiac perfusion MRI include a global objective function that meets data consistency, spatial smoothness, motion and contrast dynamics constraints. The global objective decomposed into simpler sub-problems which include low pass filtering of a deformed object, TV shrinkage, analytical Fourier replacement and an l2 minimizing problem. A registration tool based on the local cross-correlation similarity measure and enabled to perform both rigid and flexile deformations, is applied. Registration parameters are tuned by rigid, semi rigid and flexible models at different stages of iterations. A system to perform the methods is also disclosed.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for calculating a multi-dimensional wavelet transform in an image processing system comprising a plurality of computation units includes receiving multi-dimensional image data. An overlap value corresponding to a number of non-zero filter coefficients associated with the multi-dimensional wavelet transform is identified. Then the multi-dimensional image data is divided into a plurality of multi-dimensional arrays, wherein the multi-dimensional arrays overlap in each dimension by a number of pixels equal to the overlap value. A multi-dimensional wavelet transform is calculated for each multi-dimensional array, in parallel, across the plurality of computation units.

A parallel imaging reconstruction technique is applied to the first incomplete k-space data to determine a plurality of second k-space lines not included in the first incomplete k-space data set, thereby yielding a second incomplete k-space data set. Then, the parallel imaging reconstruction technique is applied to the second incomplete k-space data to determine a plurality of third k-space lines not included in the second incomplete k-space data, thereby yielding a complete k-space data set.
