    摘要: A method for denoising Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data includes receiving a noisy image acquired using an MRI imaging device and determining a noise model comprising a non-diagonal covariance matrix based on the noisy image and calibration characteristics of the MRI imaging device. The noisy image is designated as the current best image. Then, an iterative denoising process is performed to remove noise from the noisy image. Each iteration of the iterative denoising process comprises (i) applying a bank of heterogeneous denoisers to the current best image to generate a plurality of filter outputs, (ii) creating an image matrix comprising the noisy image, the current best image, and the plurality of filter outputs, (iii) finding a linear combination of elements of the image matrix which minimizes a Stein Unbiased Risk Estimation (SURE) value for the linear combination and the noise model, (iv) designating the linear combination as the current best image, and (v) updating each respective denoiser in the bank of heterogeneous denoisers based on the SURE value. Following the iterative denoising process, the current best image is designated as a final denoised image.

    摘要: A computer implemented method of processing a medical image is disclosed. The method includes receiving a medical image comprising a first plurality of pixels each having an initial pixel value. For each of the first plurality of pixels, a filtering operation is applied to the pixel to generate a filtered pixel value for the pixel based on the initial pixel values of pixels that surround the pixel in the medical image. For each of the first plurality of pixels, a comparison of the initial pixel value with the filtered pixel value is performed. The method comprises, for each of the first plurality of pixels, determining, based on the comparison, whether or not to categorize the pixel as an erroneous pixel; and for each of the first plurality of pixels for which it is determined to categorize the pixel as an erroneous pixel, categorizing the pixel as an erroneous pixel.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for identifying radio frequency (RF) interference without an RF room during imaging in a magnetic resonance tomography system. The method includes performing an acquisition, wherein scanning of a k-space along a trajectory takes place and an angle of rotation α exists between a scan start position of a first individual acquisition and a scan start position of a following second individual acquisition. A first image is obtained from the first individual acquisition and a second image is obtained from the second individual acquisition. One of the two images is rotated in respect of the other image about the angle of rotation α. A correlation is determined between the one rotated image and the other image, and a point of interference is identified from the correlation.
