    摘要: A cine imaging filter and method of use that includes a denoising image-filter based on the Karhunen-Loeve transform along the temporal direction to take advantage of the high temporal correlation among images. The cine imaging filter may further include the application of a simple formula describing the quantitative noise reduction capabilities of the KLT filter as a function of eigenimage cutoff. Additionally, the filter may validate its accuracy in numerical simulation and in in-vivo real time cine images. Furthermore, exemplary embodiments of the cine imaging filter may employ a technique to automatically select the optimal eigenimage cutoff to maximize noise reduction with minimal effect on image information.

    摘要: Gadolinium-based MR contrast agent is administered to a patient. Acquisition of MR data begins at the latest when the bolus of MR contrast agent reaches the patient's heart and continues throughout the first-pass of contrast agent through the coronary circulation. Advantageously, the acquisition is carried out using a T1-weighted, three-dimensional gradient echo sequence that is synchronized to the patient's cardiac cycle to acquire MR data only during diastole, and a T1-weighting magnetization preparation such as inversion-recovery or saturation-recovery is used.

    摘要: An intravascular MR contrast agent is administered to a living patient. A series of three-dimensional dynamic MR datasets is acquired from the Volume of Interest ("VOI"), beginning after administration of the contrast agent and continuing for a sufficiently long time as to reflect contrast agent enhancement of all arterial and venous blood vessels within the VOI. A three-dimensional MR angiogram of the VOI is acquired after the contrast agent has reached equilibrium. For each voxel within the VOI, enhancement of that voxel as a function of time post administration of the contrast agent is computed. Parameters that distinguish enhancement of voxels relating to the patient's arteries from enhancement of voxels relating to the patient's veins are selected, and the intensity of each voxel in the MR angiogram is scaled in accordance with the selected parameters. A maximum intensity projection reconstruction of the VOI is generated from the MR angiogram in which voxel intensity has been scaled.
