Description

Magnetic resonance imaging method, magnetic resonance imaging system, and electronic apparatus
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of magnetic resonance imaging, and in particular, to a magnetic resonance imaging method, a magnetic resonance imaging system, an electronic apparatus, and a storage medium.
Background
Magnetic resonance chemical shift imaging is generally divided into two main categories: 1) exciting and collecting single type tissue signals; 2) and (3) exciting and collecting various tissue signals. The following analysis takes as an example two common tissues, water and fat, with the water signal as a reference, the chemical shift of water is 0ppm and the (main peak of the spectrum) chemical shift of fat is-3.5 ppm.
The first type of chemical shift imaging method is generally implemented by selectively suppressing or exciting the signal of one of the tissues, thereby directly obtaining the signal of a single tissue type (water or fat). A common first category of methods includes:
fat Saturation (Fat Saturation) technique. The fat signal is excited first with a 90 degree RF pulse with the same center frequency as the fat frequency (the water signal is not affected), and then completely dephased by the magnetic field gradient so that the fat signal is completely saturated (i.e. the excitation signal is 0) and does not contribute any signal after the second subsequent excitation pulse.
Water Excitation (Water Excitation) technique. By designing a set of RF pulses, the effect is that only the water signal will be excited, while the fat signal is not (but the excitable signal is not 0).
The second type of chemical shift imaging method is implemented by simultaneously exciting signals of water and fat indiscriminately, and performing signal separation calculation through a chemical shift model (i.e., the difference between water and fat chemical shifts is 3.5ppm) according to signal characteristics (signal amplitude and phase) corresponding to different acquisition parameters (generally, multiple echo times) during data acquisition, so as to separate the respective signals of water and fat. A second common class of methods includes:
water Fat Separation (Water Fat Separation): such as Dixon, IDEAL, FACT.
Fat content (Fat Fraction, abbreviated as FF).
However, in the above-described techniques, different rf pulse signals are required to pre-saturate or excite the corresponding signals. For example, in the first type of chemical shift imaging technique, a set of rf pulses for selectively suppressing fat signals and another set of rf pulses for selectively exciting water signals are simultaneously applied to acquire signals. In the second type of chemical displacement imaging method, signals of water and fat can be simultaneously excited by two groups of radio frequency pulse signals, but the two groups of radio frequency pulse signals have different excitation efficiencies to water and fat, if quantitative calculation of material components (such as quantitative calculation of fat content) is required, weighting factors of the excitation efficiencies of different radio frequency pulse signals to water and fat need to be determined, and once the weighting factors are inaccurate, the quantitative calculation result of the material components has great deviation. The water excitation technology of the first type of chemical shift imaging method can only obtain a water signal image, and quantitative calculation of material components cannot be realized.
In order to solve the problem in the related art that a chemical shift imaging method needs to simultaneously apply one rf pulse signal that selectively suppresses one substance and another rf pulse signal that selectively excites another substance, no effective solution has been proposed.

A magnetic resonance imaging method is also provided in the present embodiment. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a magnetic resonance imaging method according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the flowchart includes the following steps:
step S201, modulating the rf pulse into a first rf pulse signal and a second rf pulse signal with different center frequencies, where the first rf pulse signal is used to excite a first substance signal and suppress a second substance signal, and the second rf pulse signal is used to suppress the first substance signal and excite the second substance signal.
Step S202, the first radio frequency pulse signal and the second radio frequency pulse signal are applied to an imaging field of a magnetic resonance imaging system in a time-sharing mode.
Step S203, acquiring first magnetic resonance data from an imaging visual field under the condition of applying a first radio frequency pulse signal, and reconstructing to obtain a first substance signal image according to the first magnetic resonance data.
And step S204, acquiring second magnetic resonance data from the imaging visual field under the condition of applying a second radio frequency pulse signal, and reconstructing to obtain a second matter signal image according to the second magnetic resonance data.
In the above steps, the magnetic resonance imaging system applies a radio frequency pulse in the imaging field of view during conventional 2D magnetic resonance imaging or conventional 3D magnetic resonance imaging, acquires magnetic resonance data during the application of the radio frequency pulse, and reconstructs a corresponding substance signal image according to the magnetic resonance data. The rf pulse for exciting or suppressing the substance signal in this embodiment is an rf pulse signal having the same intensity and the same waveform, and the rf pulse signal is modulated into a first rf pulse signal and a second rf pulse signal having different center frequencies, where the first rf pulse signal can excite the first substance signal and suppress the second substance signal, and the second rf pulse signal can excite the second substance signal and suppress the first substance signal.
In the embodiment, the excitation efficiency of the first radio frequency pulse signal and the excitation efficiency of the second radio frequency pulse signal to different substances are the same; and the maximum excitation-suppression ratio of the first substance signal intensity to the second substance signal intensity with the application of the first radio frequency pulse is equal to the maximum suppression-excitation ratio of the first substance signal intensity to the second substance signal intensity with the application of the second radio frequency pulse. Wherein, the maximum excitation-suppression ratio is the maximum ratio of the signal intensity of the first substance when excited and the signal intensity of the second substance when suppressed in the frequency response of the first substance and the second substance to the first radio frequency pulse signal; the maximum suppression-excitation ratio is a maximum ratio of a signal intensity when the first substance is suppressed and a signal intensity when the second substance is excited in frequency responses of the first substance and the second substance to the second radio frequency pulse signal.
There are a variety of rf pulse signals that can meet the above requirements. In the embodiment of the present application, a non-center resonance double Rectangular (BORR) pulse or a non-center non-resonance single Rectangular pulse may be selected.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a BORR pulse according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the waveform of the BORR pulse consists of two square rf pulses with the same length and intensity, and 180 ° out of phase. TE refers to the interval between the break point of the second rf pulse and the center of the echo.
FIG. 4 is a graph illustrating the frequency response of water and fat after applying BORR pulses in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. In fig. 4, the abscissa represents the frequency offset from the center frequency of the magnetic resonance system (equal to the resonance frequency of water), and the ordinate represents the signal intensity in units a.u (arbitrary units). As can be seen from FIG. 4, the resonant frequencies of water and fat are 0 and-460 Hz, respectively. When the BORR pulse is applied, for example, the radio frequency offset of the BORR pulse is selected to be-780 Hz, the fat signal can be excited, and the water signal can be inhibited; and when the radio frequency offset of the BORR pulse is selected to be +320Hz, the water signal can be excited, and the fat signal can be inhibited. It can be seen from fig. 4 that the water signal has a flatter frequency band region when excited around the +320Hz frequency offset or the fat signal is excited around the-780 Hz frequency offset, indicating that the frequency response of water and fat under the BORR pulse has a wider excitation bandwidth. Similarly, near the +320Hz or-780 Hz frequency offset, fat signals have a flatter frequency band region when suppressed, indicating that the frequency response of water and fat under the BORR pulse has a wider suppression bandwidth (also called suppression bandwidth). The excitation bandwidth and the suppression bandwidth in the embodiment are both above 200Hz, and the sufficiently wide signal excitation bandwidth and signal suppression bandwidth can ensure that the influence of the magnetic field inhomogeneity on the excitation and suppression efficiency of the signal is minimized.
In this embodiment, the frequency band in which the excited signal remains above 95% of the maximum value and the suppressed signal remains below 5% of the maximum value is defined as the frequency passband in which the magnetic resonance signals are acquired. In other words, within the frequency pass band, the signal to be suppressed can reach a suppression efficiency of more than 95%, and the excitation signal collected within the frequency pass band can obtain an optimal signal-to-noise ratio, so that the selectively excited signal is prevented from being polluted by the suppressed signal, and the accuracy of the subsequent possible quantitative analysis of the substance component is ensured.
Taking the BORR pulse as an example, the frequency offset range of the center frequency of the first radio frequency pulse signal used for exciting the water signal relative to the resonance frequency of the water comprises +210Hz to +440 Hz. The frequency shift range of the center frequency of the second radio frequency pulse signal for exciting the fat signal with respect to the resonance frequency of water includes-920 Hz to-670 Hz.
With continued reference to fig. 4, water and fat have the same response pattern (but different center frequencies) and excitation efficiency (same maximum intensity value of excitation signal) under the effect of the BORR pulse. The same response mode and excitation efficiency avoid introducing different and unknown weighting factors into the excited water and fat signals, ensure that the relative signals of the two signals can establish a relationship through a physical model of the magnetic resonance signals, and ensure the accuracy of quantitative analysis. In addition, in the range of the signal excitation bandwidth, the excitation efficiency equivalent to 90 degrees (namely 100 percent) can be obtained at the highest, so that the radio frequency pulse excitation efficiency is ensured, and the signal-to-noise ratio level of the signal is favorably improved.
It should be noted that, in the above examples, two substances having chemical shifts, i.e., water and fat, have been described and illustrated. However, the magnetic resonance imaging method provided in this embodiment is not limited to the magnetic resonance imaging of the two substances, and may also be applied to imaging of any other substance having a distinguishable chemical shift or quantitative analysis of a substance ratio. For example, silica gel has a chemical shift with water or fat, so that the present embodiment can also be used for magnetic resonance imaging of any at least two substances among silica gel, water and fat and quantitative analysis of substance ratio.
In the above steps S202 to S204, a magnetic resonance image is reconstructed by applying one of the first radio frequency pulse signal and the second radio frequency pulse signal in a time-sharing manner and acquiring corresponding magnetic resonance data, and the obtained magnetic resonance images are the first material magnetic resonance image and the second material magnetic resonance image respectively.
The radio frequency pulse signals can be applied and collected in a time-sharing manner, wherein the manners which can be adopted by the time-sharing application and collection include the following two manners:
in the first mode, after the first radio frequency pulse signal is applied to the imaging field of view in one scanning time period for complete first substance signal acquisition, the second radio frequency pulse signal is applied to the imaging field of view in another scanning time period for complete second substance signal acquisition.
For example, in the case where a first radio frequency pulse signal is applied to the imaging field of view within a first scan period, first magnetic resonance data is acquired from the imaging field of view, and a first substance signal image is reconstructed from the first magnetic resonance data; and under the condition that a second radio frequency pulse signal is applied to the imaging visual field in the second scanning time period, acquiring second magnetic resonance data from the imaging visual field, and reconstructing to obtain a second substance signal image according to the second magnetic resonance data.
The acquisition mode does not need to frequently modulate the radio frequency pulse signals to different central frequencies, and the acquisition of two substance magnetic resonance signals for reconstructing two magnetic resonance images can be completed by two times of radio frequency pulse modulation.
And in the two adjacent acquisition time periods, one acquisition time period applies a first radio frequency pulse signal to the imaging visual field to acquire the K space signal line corresponding to the first substance, and the other acquisition time period applies a second radio frequency pulse signal to the imaging visual field to acquire the K space signal line corresponding to the second substance.
For example, first, the following steps are cyclically performed to acquire each K-space signal line corresponding to the first substance signal image and the second substance signal image, respectively, until the first K-space corresponding to the first substance signal image and the second K-space corresponding to the second substance signal image are completely filled: acquiring a K-space signal line from an imaging field of view and filling the K-space signal line into a first K-space under the condition that a first radio frequency pulse signal is applied to the imaging field of view within one scanning period; in the case where the second radio frequency pulse signal is applied to the imaging field of view in the next scanning period, one K-space signal line is acquired from the imaging field of view and filled into the second K-space. Then, according to the signal of the first K space, a first substance signal image is obtained through reconstruction, and according to the signal of the second K space, a second substance signal image is obtained through reconstruction.
The second mode has the advantage that the acquisition of the magnetic resonance signals of the two substances can be respectively completed by one magnetic resonance scan, and compared with the first mode, the magnetic resonance scan process is reduced.
In the present embodiment, the Imaging sequence used for magnetic resonance Imaging may be any Imaging sequence, such as, but not limited to, Fast Spin Echo (FSE), Gradient Echo (GRE), Echo Planar Imaging (EPI), and any Non-Cartesian coordinate system (Non-Cartesian) acquisition. Furthermore, magnetic resonance imaging also allows the use of down-sampling techniques, i.e. reconstruction of a magnetic resonance image based on partial K-space data without acquiring complete K-space data to obtain the above-mentioned image.
In some of these embodiments, after the first material signal image is reconstructed from the first magnetic resonance data and the second material signal image is reconstructed from the second magnetic resonance data, a material proportion image of the first material and the second material may be generated from the first material signal image and the second material signal image.
For example, taking the example of acquiring and reconstructing a magnetic resonance image of fat and generating a fat scale image in the manner described above, the fat scale image may be generated using a procedure including the following steps:
step 1, setting BORR pulse center frequency as water excitation frequency, and obtaining an independent water excitation image A through single scanning.
And 2, setting the BORR pulse center frequency as a fat excitation frequency, and obtaining an independent fat excitation image B by single scanning.
Step 3, fat content calculation is performed on a per pixel basis, i.e., FF ═ SB/(SA + SB) × 100%. Where FF is a pixel value in the fat scale image, and SA and SB are pixel values of pixels at the same position in the water-excited magnetic resonance image and the fat-excited magnetic resonance image, respectively.
For another example, taking the second acquisition and reconstruction of the magnetic resonance image of water and fat in the above manner and the generation of the fat proportion image as an example, the fat proportion image may be generated by a procedure including the following steps:
repeating the step 1 and the step 2 until the k-space signals of the image A and the image B are acquired, and then executing the step 3:
step 1, setting BORR pulse center frequency as water excitation frequency, and collecting a k space signal line corresponding to a water excitation image A.
And 2, setting the BORR pulse central frequency as a fat excitation frequency, and collecting a k-space signal line corresponding to the fat excitation image B.
And 3, reconstructing an image A and an image B according to the k-space signal, namely acquiring a water excitation image and a fat excitation image simultaneously by single scanning.
Step 4, calculating the fat content on a per pixel basis, i.e., FF ═ SB/(SA + SB) × 100%; where FF is a pixel value in the fat scale image, and SA and SB are pixel values of pixels at the same position in the water-excited magnetic resonance image and the fat-excited magnetic resonance image, respectively.
Fig. 5 is a magnetic resonance image of a knee image according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, (a) is a water excitation magnetic resonance image, (b) is a fat excitation magnetic resonance image, and (c) is a fat scale image.
Since the radio frequency pulse signals with the same intensity and waveform are used to excite and suppress two substances with chemical shifts, and the two substances with chemical shifts have the same excitation efficiency and response mode under the radio frequency pulse signals, the substance ratio image can be generated with the same weighting factor according to the first substance signal image and the second substance signal image in the present embodiment, and the influence of different weighting factors on quantitative analysis of the substance ratio is eliminated.
