    摘要: DCE MR images are obtained from a MR scanner and under a free-breathing protocol is provided. A neural network assigns a perfusion metric to DCE MR images. The neural network includes an input layer configured to receive at least one DCE MR image representative of a first contrast enhancement state and of a first respiratory motion state and at least one further DCE MR image representative of a second contrast enhancement state and of a second respiratory motion state. The neural network further includes an output layer configured to output at least one perfusion metric based on the at least one DCE MR image and the at least one further DCE MR image. The neural network with interconnections between the input layer and the output layer is trained by a plurality of datasets, each of the datasets having an instance of the at least one DCE MR image and of the at least one further DCE MR image for the input layer and the at least one perfusion metric for the output layer.

    摘要: A training method for a system with a machine learning model for de-noising images, including: providing numerous image datasets, wherein each image dataset includes a plurality of complex-valued image repetitions; performing a phase correction on the image repetitions, wherein for each provided image repetition of an image dataset a phase-corrected signal image is calculated by amending the phase of the complex-valued image repetition such that the phases of the image repetitions of the image dataset are consistent and such that the signal image comprises signal contribution of the image repetition; calculating a noise map for an image dataset based on the standard deviation between the signal images of this image dataset; and training the machine learning model based on the signal images, the noise map, and a loss function based on Stein's unbiased risk estimator.
