Description

卷褶视野磁共振图像的重建方法、计算机设备及存储介质Reconstruction method, computer equipment and storage medium of magnetic resonance image in folded field of view 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及磁共振成像技术领域,尤其涉及一种卷褶视野磁共振图像的重建方法、计算机设备及存储介质。The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging, in particular to a method for reconstructing a magnetic resonance image of a convoluted field of view, a computer device and a storage medium.
背景技术Background technique
磁共振成像(MRI,Magnetic Resonance Imaging)技术由于其无辐射、分辨率高等优点被广泛的应用于临床医学与医学研究。根据奈奎斯特采样定理,磁共振成像在相位编码方向的成像视野(field of view,FOV)或覆盖范围应大于被扫描对象的实际大小,然而,增大成像视野导致扫描相位编码数增多,进而增加扫描和重建时间。因此,在某些场景下,相位编码方向的成像视野会被人为设置成小于物体在该方向的尺寸,该场景称之为卷褶视野扫描场景。例如,在高分辨率三维成像中,人为地减小相位编码方向的成像视野,缩短扫描时间,才能在临床可接受的时间内获得诊断图像。但是,在卷褶视野的扫描场景下,传统的全局自动校准部分并行采集技术(generalized auto-calibrating partially parallel acquisitions,GRAPPA)和迭代自相一致并行成像技术(iterative self-consistent Parallel Imaging Reconstruction,SPIRiT)等重建方法只能得到卷褶视野的磁共振图像且会存在伪影,无法用于诊断。Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging) technology is widely used in clinical medicine and medical research due to its advantages of no radiation and high resolution. According to the Nyquist sampling theorem, the imaging field of view (FOV) or coverage area of magnetic resonance imaging in the phase encoding direction should be larger than the actual size of the scanned object. This in turn increases scan and rebuild times. Therefore, in some scenarios, the imaging field of view in the phase encoding direction is artificially set to be smaller than the size of the object in this direction, and this scene is called a convolution field of view scanning scene. For example, in high-resolution 3D imaging, the imaging field of view in the phase-encoding direction is artificially reduced, and the scan time is shortened so that diagnostic images can be obtained within a clinically acceptable time. However, in the scanning scene of the convoluted field of view, the traditional generalized auto-calibrating partially parallel acquisitions (GRAPPA) and iterative self-consistent Parallel Imaging Reconstruction (SPIRiT) Such reconstruction methods can only obtain the magnetic resonance images of the folded field of view and there will be artifacts, which cannot be used for diagnosis.

本实施例中卷褶视野欠采样数据、全视野自校准采样数据、全视野点扩散函数的获取顺序可以为根据实际需要来调整,即步骤S1、S2、S4的先后顺序可以调整,本实施例仅以依次获取卷褶视野欠采样数据、全视野自校准采样数据、 全视野点扩散函数为例来进行说明,但是,这并不用于对卷褶视野欠采样数据、全视野自校准采样数据、全视野点扩散函数的获取顺序进行限定。In this embodiment, the acquisition order of the undersampled data of the pleated field of view, the self-calibration sampling data of the full field of view, and the point spread function of the full field of view can be adjusted according to actual needs, that is, the sequence of steps S1, S2, and S4 can be adjusted. In this embodiment, It is only illustrated by taking the undersampling data of the pleated field of view, the self-calibration sampling data of the full field of view, and the point spread function of the full field of view sequentially as an example. The acquisition order of the full field of view point spread function is limited.
在步骤S1中,卷褶视野欠采样数据为采用波浪可控混叠编码采样轨迹模式获得的欠采样数据,第一脉冲序列是由第二脉冲序列增加正弦梯度场获得,正旋梯度场包括相位编码方向的正弦梯度场和选层方向的正旋梯度场。本实施例以第二脉冲序列为梯度回波(gradient echo,GRE)序列为例来对本实施例中的重建方法进行详细的描述,当然,这里仅仅是作为示例示出,并不用于限定,本实施例中的第二脉冲序列还可以选自快速自旋回波(fast spin echo,FSE)序列、平衡稳态自由进动(balanced steady-state free precession,bSSFP)序列和平面回波(echo planar imaging,EPI)序列中的一种。In step S1, the undersampled data of the convoluted field of view is the undersampled data obtained by using the wave controllable aliasing coding sampling trajectory mode, the first pulse sequence is obtained by adding a sinusoidal gradient field to the second pulse sequence, and the sinusoidal gradient field includes the phase The sinusoidal gradient field in the encoding direction and the sinusoidal gradient field in the layer selection direction. This embodiment takes the second pulse sequence as a gradient echo (gradient echo, GRE) sequence as an example to describe the reconstruction method in this embodiment in detail. Of course, this is only shown as an example and is not used for limitation. The second pulse sequence in the embodiment can also be selected from fast spin echo (fast spin echo, FSE) sequence, balanced steady-state free precession (balanced steady-state free precession, bSSFP) sequence and planar echo (echo planar imaging) , one of the EPI) sequences.
参照图12~13,本实施例中的重建方法可以用于二维磁共振图像的重建,也可以应用于三维磁共振图像的重建,图12示出了二维空间下的第一脉冲序列的示意图,图13示出了三维空间下的第一脉冲序列的示意图,其中,二维空间下的第一脉冲序列是由第二脉冲序列在相位编码方向上增加正弦梯度场得到的,三维空间下的第一脉冲序列是由第二脉冲序列在相位编码方向上增加正弦梯度场和在选层方向上增加正弦梯度场得到的,第二脉冲序列为GRE序列的示意图参见实施例一中的图2所示,这里定义,在相位编码方向上增加的正弦梯度场为第一正弦梯度场,在选层方向上增加的正弦梯度场为第二正弦梯度场,第一正弦梯度场与第二正弦梯度场的相位差为π/2,第一正弦梯度场和第二正弦梯度场的波形均为正弦波,第一正弦梯度场的波形可以与第二正弦梯度场的波形相同,也可以不同。Referring to Figures 12-13, the reconstruction method in this embodiment can be used for the reconstruction of two-dimensional magnetic resonance images, and can also be applied to the reconstruction of three-dimensional magnetic resonance images, Figure 12 shows the first pulse sequence in two-dimensional space Schematic diagram, Fig. 13 shows a schematic diagram of the first pulse sequence in three-dimensional space, wherein, the first pulse sequence in two-dimensional space is obtained by adding a sinusoidal gradient field in the phase encoding direction of the second pulse sequence, and in three-dimensional space The first pulse sequence is obtained by increasing the sinusoidal gradient field in the phase encoding direction and the sinusoidal gradient field in the layer selection direction by the second pulse sequence, and the second pulse sequence is a schematic diagram of the GRE sequence. Refer to Figure 2 in Embodiment 1 As shown, it is defined here that the sinusoidal gradient field increased in the phase encoding direction is the first sinusoidal gradient field, the sinusoidal gradient field increased in the layer selection direction is the second sinusoidal gradient field, the first sinusoidal gradient field and the second sinusoidal gradient field The field phase difference is π/2, the waveforms of the first sinusoidal gradient field and the second sinusoidal gradient field are both sinusoidal waves, and the waveform of the first sinusoidal gradient field can be the same as that of the second sinusoidal gradient field, or can be different.
第一正旋梯度场位于相位编码方向上的两个读出序列之间,第二正弦梯度场位于选层方向上的两个读出序列之间,这样,第一正旋梯度场和第二正弦梯度场不会对目标对象在第二脉冲序列激发下的信号造成影响,从而不会引入额外的伪影。The first sinusoidal gradient field is located between the two readout sequences in the phase encoding direction, and the second sinusoidal gradient field is located between the two readout sequences in the layer selection direction. In this way, the first forward gradient field and the second The sinusoidal gradient field does not affect the signal of the target object excited by the second pulse train, so that no additional artifacts are introduced.
再次参照图4~5,本实施例中得到的卷褶视野欠采样数据可以根据已有的K空间欠采样方法来获得,例如,可以采用规则欠采样、随机欠采样、混合采样、可控混叠并行采样(Controlled Aliasing In Parallel Imaging Results IN Higher Acceleration,CAIPIRINHA)等方法来获得卷褶视野欠采样数据,其中,随机欠采样又包括等密度随机欠采样、变密度随机欠采样。图4示出了根据规则欠 采样的方法获得的卷褶视野欠采样数据在二维K空间中的示意图,其中,在频率编码方向3倍欠采样,加速倍数为3倍,虚线为全采样所需采集的读出线,实线为3倍欠采样所需采集的读出线。图5示出了根据规则欠采样的方法获得的卷褶视野欠采样数据在三维K空间中的示意图,其中,同时与相位编码方向和选层方向垂直的方向为读出方向,在相位编码方向2倍欠采样,在选层方向2倍欠采样,总的加速倍数为4倍,虚线交点为全采样所需采集的读出线,加粗实心圆点为4倍欠采样所需采集的读出线。Referring to Figures 4-5 again, the undersampled data of the pleat field of view obtained in this embodiment can be obtained according to existing K-space undersampling methods, for example, regular undersampling, random undersampling, mixed sampling, controllable mixed sampling can be used. Controlled Aliasing In Parallel Imaging Results IN Higher Acceleration (CAIPIRINHA) and other methods to obtain the undersampling data of the convoluted field of view. Among them, random undersampling includes equal density random undersampling and variable density random undersampling. Fig. 4 shows the schematic diagram of the undersampled data of the convoluted field of view obtained according to the method of regular undersampling in the two-dimensional K space, in which, in the frequency encoding direction, the undersampling is 3 times, the acceleration factor is 3 times, and the dotted line is the result of full sampling The readout line to be collected, the solid line is the readout line to be collected by 3 times undersampling. Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of the undersampled data of the convoluted field of view obtained according to the method of regular undersampling in the three-dimensional K space, wherein the direction perpendicular to the phase encoding direction and the layer selection direction is the readout direction, and in the phase encoding direction 2 times undersampling, 2 times undersampling in the direction of layer selection, the total acceleration factor is 4 times, the dotted line intersection is the readout line required for full sampling, and the bold solid circle is the readout required for 4 times undersampling qualify.
通过采用欠采样方法来获得卷褶视野欠采样数据可以有效减少磁共振的扫描时间,同时通过采用增加正弦梯度场的第一脉冲序列来对目标对象进行激发,在频率编码方向造成扩散混叠来降低几何因子,几何因子降低,重建图像的信噪比损失降低,从而在实现减少扫描时间的同时提升重建图像的质量。Obtaining the undersampling data of the convoluted field of view by using the undersampling method can effectively reduce the scanning time of magnetic resonance. At the same time, the target object is excited by the first pulse sequence with an increased sinusoidal gradient field, which causes diffusion aliasing in the frequency encoding direction. The geometric factor is reduced, the geometric factor is reduced, and the signal-to-noise ratio loss of the reconstructed image is reduced, thereby reducing the scanning time and improving the quality of the reconstructed image.
再次参照图6~7,由于K空间中心的数据决定重建图像的对比度,为了能够获得较清晰的重建图像,通过对K空间中心进行全采样来获得全视野自校准采样数据,图6示出了对K空间中心进行全采样获得的全视野自校准采样数据在二维K空间中的示意图,虚线为全采样所需采集的读出线,实线为低分辨率全采样所需采集的读出线,图7示出了对K空间中心进行全采样获得的全视野自校准采样数据在三维K空间中的示意图,其中,同时与相位编码方向和选层方向垂直的方向为读出方向,虚线交点为全采样所需采集的读出线,加粗实心圆点为低分辨率全采样所需采集的读出线,其中,读出线的数量可以根据实际需要来设定,图6~7中仅仅是作为示例示出,并不作限定。Referring to Figures 6 to 7 again, since the data at the center of K-space determines the contrast of the reconstructed image, in order to obtain a clearer reconstructed image, the full-view self-calibration sampling data is obtained by performing full sampling on the center of K-space. Figure 6 shows Schematic diagram of the full field of view self-calibration sampling data obtained by full sampling in the center of K space in two-dimensional K space, the dotted line is the readout line required for full sampling, and the solid line is the readout required for low resolution full sampling line, Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of the full-view self-calibration sampling data in the three-dimensional K space obtained by performing full sampling on the center of K space, where the direction perpendicular to the phase encoding direction and layer selection direction is the readout direction, and the dotted line The intersection points are the readout lines required for full sampling, and the bold solid circles are the readout lines required for low-resolution full sampling.
