    摘要: A reconstructed image is rendered of a patient by a processor from a set of undersampled MRI data by first subtracting two repetitions of the acquired data in k-space to create a third dataset. The processor reconstructs the image by minimizing an objective function under a constraint related to the third dataset, wherein the objective function includes applying a Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) to a temporal dimension of data. The objective function under the constraint is expressed as arg minf{∥φ(f)∥1 subject to ∥Af−y∥2≦ε}. The reconstructed image is an angiogram which may be a 4D angiogram. The angiogram is used to diagnose a vascular disease.

    摘要: In a method to select an undersampling scheme of k-space and an associated set of reconstruction kernels to acquire reduced magnetic resonance (MR) data sets with multiple coils, a calibration data set is acquired for each of the respective coils, a noise covariance is determined from autocorrelations and correlations of the noise of the various coils. At least one set of reconstruction kernels is calculated for each of the multiple undersampling schemes from the calibration data sets of the various coils. For each set of reconstruction kernels, a characteristic value is calculated from the noise covariance and the respective reconstruction kernels of the coils, with the characteristic value being proportional to a spatial mean value of a signal noise of an MR image. A selected undersampling scheme and a selected set of reconstruction kernels are selected based on the calculated characteristic values.

    摘要: In a method for automatically detecting contrast enhancement at predetermined phases as a contrast agent bolus perfuses a target tissue volume in a patient, a continuous acquisition MRI imaging system is provided for obtaining dynamic contrast enhanced MRI data for use in creating images. The contrast agent bolus is injected into a blood stream of the patient which passes through the target volume. With the imaging system, a center of a k-space of the target volume is repeatedly sampled to obtain k-space data. A bolus time curve signal is automatically extracted from the k-space data which indicates a course of bolus contrast enhancement which is used to automatically pick time frames at the predetermined phases of the perfusion which are then used to identify corresponding key images to be obtained at the time frames.

    摘要: In a magnetic resonance apparatus and method to generate an image data set by means of a radial scanning of a raw data set, at least one calibration measurement is implemented for at least one predetermined spoke of the radial scan, and a gradient moment difference between an assumed gradient moment and an actually applied gradient moment is determined along the at least one predetermined spoke. Readout of all spokes of the predetermined raw data set ensues by activating multiple magnetic field gradients in spatial directions in order to respectively read out scan points of a respective spoke. The position of each scan point of each spoke is corrected depending on the gradient moment difference, by the position of the respective scan point that is assumed based on the respective activated magnetic field gradients being shifted by the gradient moment difference.
