    摘要: A method of reconstructing imaging data into a reconstructed image may include training a generative adversarial network (GAN) to reconstruct the imaging data. The GAN may include a generator and a discriminator. Training the GAN may include determining a combined loss by adaptively adjusting an adversarial loss based at least in part on a difference between the adversarial loss and a pixel-wise loss. Additionally, the combined loss may be a combination of the adversarial loss and the pixel-wise loss. Training the GAN may also include updating the generator based at least in part on the combined loss. The method may also include receiving, into the generator, the imaging data and reconstructing, via the generator, the imaging data into a reconstructed image.

    摘要: A system, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and method of designing quiet variable-rate MRI slice-select pulses includes creating discretized first slice-select constant-amplitude gradient and RF waveforms, associating discretized time points having a first constant time increment with the first waveforms, selecting a scaling function that smooths the gradient waveform when multiplied together, multiplying the gradient and RF waveforms by the corresponding value of the scaling function to create second gradient and RF waveforms, dividing the time increment between the discretized time points by the corresponding value of the scaling function to create a remapped time increment, cumulatively summing the remapped time increments to create a remapped time scale, interpolating the second gradient and RF waveforms along the remapped time scale to form final gradient and RF waveforms, and providing the final gradient and RF waveforms for incorporation into an MRI pulse sequence.

    摘要: A system for inductively communicating signals in a magnetic resonance imaging system is presented. The system includes first array of primary coils configured to acquire data from a patient positioned on a patient cradle. Furthermore, the system includes a second array of secondary coils operatively coupled to the first array of primary coils. Moreover, the system includes a third array of tertiary coils disposed at a determined distance from the second array of secondary coils. In addition, the system includes a tuning unit operatively coupled to the third array of tertiary coils by a cable having a quarter-wave electrical wavelength and configured to control the first array of primary coils through impedance transformation, where the second array of secondary coils is configured to inductively communicate the acquired data to the third array of tertiary coils.

    摘要: A method of compressed sensing for multi-shell magnetic resonance imaging includes obtaining magnetic resonance imaging data, the data being sampled along multi-shell spherical coordinates, the spherical coordinates coincident with a plurality of spokes that converge at an origin, constructing a symmetric shell for each respective sampled multi-shell to create a combined set of data, performing a three-dimensional Fourier transform on the combined set of data to reconstruct an image, and de-noising the reconstructed image by iteratively applying a sparsifying transform on non-sampled data points of neighboring shells. The method can also include randomly under-sampling the imaging data to create missing data points. A system configured to implement the method and a non-transitory computer readable medium are also disclosed.

    摘要: A magnetic field may be applied to a subject having a plurality of tissues, including first and second tissues, causing a net longitudinal magnetization in the tissues. An inversion radio frequency pulse may be generated to invert the longitudinal magnetization from the tissues. Heart-rate timing information associated with a current ECG of the subject may be measured, and an inversion time TI may be dynamically calculated based at least in part on the heart-rate timing information. An excitation radio frequency pulse may then be generated. The generation of the excitation radio frequency pulse may occur a period of time after the generation of the inversion radio frequency pulse, and the period of time may be based on the dynamically calculated inversion time TI. Magnetic resonance imaging data may then be acquired.

    摘要: The subject matter discussed herein relates to a fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method to suppress fine-line artifact in Fast-Spin-Echo (FSE) images reconstructed with a deep-learning network. The network is trained using fully sampled NEX=2 (Number of Excitations equals to 2) data. In each case, the two excitations are combined to generate fully sampled ground-truth images with no fine-line artifact, which are used for comparison with the network generated image in the loss function. However, only one of the excitations is retrospectively undersampled and inputted into the network during training. In this way, the network learns to remove both undersampling and fine-line artifacts. At inferencing, only NEX=1 undersampled data are acquired and reconstructed.
