    摘要: For imaging an object subject to a cyclic motion, two or more imaging repetitions are carried out. Each of the imaging repetitions includes a sequence of equally spaced imaging events, wherein each imaging event has an event number, which corresponds to a respective predefined imaging parameter. A cycle duration of the cyclic motion is determined, a number of events per cycle is determined based on the cycle duration and a shift number is determined at least in part randomly. For a first imaging repetition, a starting number is determined depending on the number of events per cycle and the shift number. The first imaging repetition is carried out, wherein the respective sequence is started with an imaging event, whose event number is given by the starting number.

    摘要: A method for correcting diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging data (DW-EPI) includes obtaining a first reference scan with no diffusion gradients applied, a second reference scan with a diffusion gradient applied only along a frequency direction, a third reference scan with the diffusion gradient applied only along a phase direction, and a fourth reference scan with the diffusion gradient applied only along a slice direction acquired utilizing an MRI scanner, wherein the reference scans lack phase encoding. The method includes obtaining DW-EPI data acquired utilizing the MRI scanner, wherein the DW-EPI data includes phase errors due to oscillatory eddy currents causing time-varying B0 shift. The method includes generating a phase correction factor based on the reference scans and correcting the phase errors due to the oscillatory eddy currents in the DW-EPI data independent of diffusion gradient direction utilizing the phase correction factor to generate corrected DW-EPI data.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a medical system (100, 300) comprising a memory (110) storing machine executable instructions (120) and an image generating neural network (122). The image generating neural network is configured for outputting synthetic magnetic resonance image data (128) in response to receiving reference magnetic resonance image data (126) as input. The synthetic magnetic resonance image data is a simulation of magnetic resonance image data acquired according to a first configuration of a magnetic resonance imaging system when the reference magnetic resonance image data is acquired according to a second configuration of the magnetic resonance imaging system. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes a computational system (106) to: receive (200) measured k-space data (124) acquired according to the first configuration of the magnetic resonance imaging system; receive (202) the reference magnetic resonance image data; receive (204) the synthetic magnetic resonance image data by inputting the reference magnetic resonance image data into the image generating neural network; and reconstruct (206) corrected magnetic resonance image data (132) from the measured k-space data and the synthetic magnetic resonance image data.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides various systems and methods for magnetic resonance imaging. In one aspect, a method for magnetic resonance imaging can include receiving k-space data sets acquired by radiofrequency (RF) coils. Each of the k-space data sets can correspond to a different one of the RF coils. Each of the k-space data sets can be truncated and/or under sampled. The method can further include generating partial images of a field of view based on the k-space data sets and generating an initial image based on the partial images. The initial image can be full image of the field of view. The method can further include applying an iterative image reconstruction technique to generate an updated image based on the initial image.
