In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the sequential acquisition of raw complex-valued image data in Fourier space, also known as k-space, results in extended examination times. To speed up the MRI scans, k-space data are usually undersampled and processed using numerical techniques such as compressed sensing (CS). While the majority of CS-MRI algorithms primarily focus on magnitude images due to their significant diagnostic value, the phase components of complex-valued MRI images also hold substantial importance for clinical diagnosis, including neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, complex-valued MRI reconstruction is studied with a focus on the simultaneous reconstruction of both magnitude and phase images. The proposed algorithm is based on the nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) technique, which offers shift invariance in images. Instead of directly transforming the complex-valued image into the NSCT domain, we introduce a wavelet transform within the NSCT domain, reducing the size of the sparsity of coefficients. This two-level hierarchical constraint (HC) enforces sparse representation of complex-valued images for CS-MRI implementation. The proposed HC is seamlessly integrated into a proximal algorithm simultaneously. Additionally, to effectively minimize the artifacts caused by sub-sampling, thresholds related to different sub-bands in the HC are applied through an alternating optimization process. Experimental results show that the novel method outperforms existing CS-MRI techniques in phase-regularized complex-valued image reconstructions.
在磁共振成像(MRI)中,连续采集傅里叶空间(也称 k 空间)中的原始复值图像数据会导致检查时间延长。为了加快核磁共振成像扫描的速度,通常会对 k 空间数据进行低采样,并使用压缩传感(CS)等数字技术进行处理。虽然大多数 CS-MRI 算法因其重要的诊断价值而主要关注幅值图像,但复值 MRI 图像的相位分量对于临床诊断(包括神经退行性疾病)也非常重要。在这项工作中,研究了复值磁共振成像重建,重点是同时重建幅值和相位图像。所提出的算法基于非子采样等高线变换(NSCT)技术,该技术具有图像位移不变性。我们不是直接将复值图像转换到 NSCT 域,而是在 NSCT 域内引入小波变换,以减小稀疏系数的大小。这种两级分层约束(HC)为 CS-MRI 实现提供了复值图像的稀疏表示。所提出的 HC 可同时无缝集成到近端算法中。此外,为了有效减少子采样造成的伪影,通过交替优化过程应用 HC 中不同子带的相关阈值。实验结果表明,在相位规则化复值图像重建方面,新方法优于现有的 CS-MRI 技术。

Common-mode currents can degrade the RF coil performance and introduce potential safety hazards in MRI. Baluns are the standard method to suppress these undesired common-mode currents. Specifically, floating baluns are preferred in many applications because they are removable, allow post-installation adjustment and avoid direct soldering on the cable. However, floating baluns are typically bulky to achieve excellent common-mode suppression, taking up valuable space in the MRI bore. This is particularly severe for multi-nuclear MRI/MRS applications, as two RF systems exist. In this work, we present a novel dual-tuned floating balun that is fully removable, does not require any physical connection to the coaxial cable, and has a significantly reduced footprint. The floating design employs an inductive coupling between the cable solenoid and a floating solenoid resonator rather than a direct physical connection. Unlike the previous floating solenoid balun, this balun employs a two-layer design further to improve the mutual coupling between the two solenoids. A pole-insertion method is used to suppress common-mode currents at two user-selectable frequencies simultaneously. Bench testing of the fabricated device at 7 T demonstrated high common-mode rejection ratios at Larmor frequencies of both 1H and 23Na, even with a compact dimension (diameter 18 mm and length 12 mm). This balun's removable, compact, and multi-resonant nature enables light-weighting, allows more coil elements, and improves cable management for advanced multi-nuclear MRI/MRS systems.
共模电流会降低射频线圈的性能,并给核磁共振成像带来潜在的安全隐患。平衡器是抑制这些不良共模电流的标准方法。具体来说,浮动式平衡器是许多应用中的首选,因为它们可拆卸,允许安装后调整,并避免直接焊接在电缆上。然而,浮动平衡器通常体积庞大,无法实现出色的共模抑制,从而占用了磁共振成像孔中的宝贵空间。这对多核 MRI/MRS 应用尤为严重,因为存在两个射频系统。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种新型双调谐浮动平衡器,它完全可拆卸,不需要与同轴电缆进行任何物理连接,而且占地面积显著减少。这种浮动式设计采用了电缆螺线管和浮动螺线管谐振器之间的电感耦合,而不是直接的物理连接。与之前的浮动螺线管平衡器不同,该平衡器采用了双层设计,进一步改善了两个螺线管之间的相互耦合。采用极点插入法同时抑制两个用户可选频率的共模电流。在 7 T 条件下对制造的器件进行的台架测试表明,即使尺寸紧凑(直径 18 毫米,长度 12 毫米),1H 和 23Na 拉莫尔频率下的共模抑制比也很高。这种平衡器具有可拆卸、结构紧凑和多谐振的特点,可实现轻量化,允许使用更多线圈元件,并改善先进的多核 MRI/MRS 系统的电缆管理。

Background

Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is the most common pathology associated with drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) in adults.
Most atrophic hippocampi can be identified using MRI based on standard epilepsy protocols; however, difficulties can arise in cases where sclerotic changes in the hippocampus are subtle or non-epilepsy-specific protocols have been implemented. In such cases, quantitative methods, such as T1-weighted axial series MRIs, are valuable additional tools to complement epilepsy-specific protocols. In the current study, we applied machine learning (ML) techniques to the analysis of brain regions of interest (ROIs), including the hippocampus, thalamus, and cortical areas, to enhance the accuracy of lesion lateralization in MRI.

Methods

This study included 104 patients diagnosed with mTLE, including 55 with lesions on the right side and 49 with lesions on the left side. FreeSurfer software was used to extract features from high-resolution T1-weighted axial brain MRI scans for use in computing lateralization indices (LI) for various brain regions. After using feature selection to pinpoint critical ROIs, the corresponding LI values were used as parameters in training the ML model.

Results

The proposed ML model demonstrated exceptional performance in the lateralization of mTLE, achieving test accuracy of 92.38 % with an AUROC of 0.97.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated the efficacy of ML in detecting instances of MTS from thin-slice T1 images. The proposed method provides valuable insights for surgical planning and treatment. Nonetheless, additional research will be required to enhance the robustness of the model and rigorously validate its effectiveness and applicability in clinical settings.
背景:颞叶中叶硬化症(MTS)是与成人耐药性颞叶中叶癫痫(mTLE)相关的最常见病理。大多数萎缩的海马可根据标准癫痫方案使用磁共振成像进行识别;但是,如果海马的硬化变化不明显,或采用了非癫痫特异性方案,就会出现困难。在这种情况下,定量方法(如 T1 加权轴向系列磁共振成像)是补充癫痫特异性方案的宝贵额外工具。在当前的研究中,我们将机器学习(ML)技术应用于分析大脑感兴趣区(ROI),包括海马、丘脑和皮质区域,以提高 MRI 中病变侧位的准确性:本研究纳入了104名确诊为mTLE的患者,其中55名患者的病变位于右侧,49名患者的病变位于左侧。研究人员使用FreeSurfer软件从高分辨率T1加权轴向脑磁共振成像扫描图像中提取特征,用于计算不同脑区的侧位指数(LI)。在使用特征选择确定关键 ROI 之后,相应的侧化指数值被用作训练 ML 模型的参数:结果:所提出的 ML 模型在 mTLE 的侧化方面表现优异,测试准确率达到 92.38%,AUROC 为 0.97:这项研究证明了 ML 在从薄片 T1 图像中检测 MTS 实例方面的功效。所提出的方法为手术规划和治疗提供了有价值的见解。不过,还需要进行更多的研究,以提高模型的稳健性,并严格验证其在临床环境中的有效性和适用性。

In fMRI, capturing brain activity during a task is dependent on how quickly the k-space arrays for each volume image are obtained. Acquiring the full k-space arrays can take a considerable amount of time. Under-sampling k-space reduces the acquisition time, but results in aliased, or “folded,” images after applying the inverse Fourier transform (IFT). GeneRalized Autocalibrating Partial Parallel Acquisition (GRAPPA) and SENSitivity Encoding (SENSE) are parallel imaging techniques that yield reconstructed images from subsampled arrays of k-space. With GRAPPA operating in the spatial frequency domain and SENSE in image space, these techniques have been separate but can be merged to reconstruct the subsampled k-space arrays more accurately. Here, we propose a Bayesian approach to this merged model where prior distributions for the unknown parameters are assessed from a priori k-space arrays. The prior information is utilized to estimate the missing spatial frequency values, unalias the voxel values from the posterior distribution, and reconstruct into full field-of-view images. Our Bayesian technique successfully reconstructed simulated and experimental fMRI time series with no aliasing artifacts while decreasing temporal variation and increasing task detection power.
在 fMRI 中,捕捉任务期间的大脑活动取决于获取每个容积图像的 k 空间阵列的速度。获取完整的 k 空间阵列需要相当长的时间。对 k 空间进行低采样可缩短采集时间,但在应用反傅里叶变换 (IFT) 后会产生混叠或 "折叠 "图像。基因校准自校准部分并行采集(GRAPPA)和感度编码(SENSE)是一种并行成像技术,可从 k 空间的子采样阵列重建图像。GRAPPA 在空间频率域工作,而 SENSE 在图像空间工作,这两种技术是分开的,但可以合并,以更精确地重建子采样 k 空间阵列。在这里,我们提出了一种贝叶斯方法来处理这种合并模型,即根据先验 k 空间阵列评估未知参数的先验分布。利用先验信息来估计缺失的空间频率值,从后验分布中取消体素值的析取,并重建成全视场图像。我们的贝叶斯技术成功地重建了模拟和实验 fMRI 时间序列,没有出现混叠伪影,同时减少了时间变化,提高了任务检测能力。

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used in clinical diagnosis as a safe, non-invasive, high-resolution medical imaging technology, but long scanning time has been a major challenge for this technology. The undersampling reconstruction method has become an important technical means to accelerate MRI by reducing the data sampling rate while maintaining high-quality imaging. However, traditional undersampling reconstruction techniques such as compressed sensing mainly rely on relatively single sparse or low-rank prior information to reconstruct the image, which has limitations in capturing the comprehensive features of images, resulting in the insufficient performance of the reconstructed image in terms of details and key information. In this paper, we propose a deep plug-and-play multiple complementary priors MRI reconstruction model, which combines traditional low-rank matrix recovery model methods and deep learning methods, and integrates global, local and nonlocal priors to improve reconstruction quality. Specifically, we capture the global features of the image through the matrix nuclear norm, and use the deep convolutional neural network denoiser Swin-Conv-UNet (SCUNet) and block-matching and 3-D filtering (BM3D) algorithm to preserve the local details and structural texture of the image, respectively. In addition, we utilize an efficient half-quadratic splitting (HQS) algorithm to solve the proposed model. The experimental results show that our proposed method has better reconstruction ability than the existing popular methods in terms of visual effects and numerical results.
磁共振成像(MRI)作为一种安全、无创、高分辨率的医学成像技术被广泛应用于临床诊断,但扫描时间长一直是该技术面临的一大挑战。欠采样重建方法在保持高质量成像的同时降低了数据采样率,已成为加速核磁共振成像的重要技术手段。然而,压缩传感等传统欠采样重建技术主要依靠相对单一的稀疏或低秩先验信息来重建图像,在捕捉图像的综合特征方面存在局限性,导致重建后的图像在细节和关键信息方面表现不足。本文提出了一种深度即插即用多互补先验 MRI 重建模型,该模型结合了传统的低秩矩阵恢复模型方法和深度学习方法,综合利用全局、局部和非局部先验来提高重建质量。具体来说,我们通过矩阵核规范捕捉图像的全局特征,并使用深度卷积神经网络去噪器 Swin-Conv-UNet (SCUNet) 和块匹配与三维滤波 (BM3D) 算法分别保留图像的局部细节和结构纹理。此外,我们还利用高效的半二次分裂(HQS)算法来求解所提出的模型。实验结果表明,在视觉效果和数值结果方面,我们提出的方法比现有的流行方法具有更好的重建能力。

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia in world-wild places and is associated with the development of severe secondary complications such as heart failure and stroke. Emerging evidence shows that the modified hemodynamic environment associated with AF can cause altered flow patterns in left atrial and even systemic blood associated with left atrial appendage thrombosis. Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow for the comprehensive visualization and quantification of in vivo aortic flow pattern dynamics. In particular, the technique of 4- dimensional flow MRI (4D flow MRI) offers the opportunity to derive advanced hemodynamic measures such as velocity, vortex, endothelial cell activation potential, and kinetic energy. This review introduces 4D flow MRI for blood flow visualization and quantification of hemodynamic metrics in the setting of AF, with a focus on AF and associated secondary complications.

The identification and measurement of aortic aneurysms is an important clinical problem. While specialized high-resolution 3D CMR sequences allow detailed aortic assessment, they are time-consuming which limits their use in screening routine cardiac scans and in population studies.

Methods

A 3D U-Net, U-NetLR, was used to create 3D isotropic segmentations of the aorta from standard anisotropic 2D trans-axial localizers with low through-plane resolution. Training data was generated from high-resolution 3D isotropic whole heart images by simulating anisotropic images that resemble the low-resolution 2D localizers (the inputs). These inputs were paired with 3D isotropic ‘ground truth’ segmentation masks (the targets) created by a clinician from the high-resolution isotropic images. Segmentation quality was evaluated using an external dataset from UK Biobank. Segmentation accuracy was measured against ground-truth segmentations from concurrently acquired cardiac-triggered, respiratory-gated, high-resolution 3D isotropic whole heart images. Finally, the proposed method was compared to U-NetHR, a 3D U-Net variant trained directly on high-resolution 3D isotropic images. A second observer was recruited to investigate the interobserver variability.

Results

Qualitative validation on an external dataset (UK Biobank) of 180 subjects showed that 93 % of 3D segmentations with the proposed model (U-NetLR) were considered suitable for clinical use. In quantitative analysis, the proposed method (U-NetLR) showed good agreement with ground-truth segmentations from isotropic 3D images with a mean DICE score of 0.9, which is no difference from automated segmentations made directly on the high-resolution 3D isotropic aorta images (U-NetHR). When comparing measurements, there is no significant difference between U-NetLR, U-NetHR and two clinical observers in the diameter measurements at the mid ascending aorta, mid aortic arch, and descending aorta.

Conclusions

A new method of producing isotropic 3D aortic segmentations from routine CMR 2D anisotropic localizers shows good agreement with segmentation made directly from 3D isotropic images. The method has the potential to be used as a simple screening method for aortic aneurysms without the need for additional sequences.
背景:主动脉瘤的识别和测量是一个重要的临床问题。虽然专门的高分辨率三维 CMR 序列可以对主动脉进行详细评估,但它们非常耗时,这限制了它们在常规心脏扫描筛查和人口研究中的应用:方法:使用三维 U-Net U-NetLR 从各向异性的标准二维跨轴定位器创建主动脉的三维各向同性分割,该定位器的通面分辨率较低。通过模拟与低分辨率二维定位器(输入)相似的各向异性图像,从高分辨率三维各向同性全心图像中生成训练数据。这些输入数据与临床医生根据高分辨率各向同性图像创建的三维各向同性 "地面真实 "分割掩膜(目标)配对。使用英国生物库的外部数据集对分割质量进行评估。根据同时获得的心脏触发、呼吸门控、高分辨率三维各向同性全心图像的地面实况分割结果,对分割准确性进行了测量。最后,将所提出的方法与 U-NetHR 进行了比较,U-NetHR 是一种直接在高分辨率三维各向同性图像上训练的三维 U-Net 变体。为了研究观察者之间的变异性,还招募了第二位观察者:结果:在一个包含 180 名受试者的外部数据集(英国生物库)上进行的定性验证显示,93% 的三维分割模型(U-NetLR)适合临床使用。在定量分析中,建议的方法(U-NetLR)与各向同性三维图像的地面实况分割结果显示出良好的一致性,平均 DICE 得分为 0.9,与直接在高分辨率三维各向同性主动脉图像上进行的自动分割(U-NetHR)没有区别。在比较测量结果时,U-NetLR、U-NetHR 和两名临床观察者在升主动脉中段、主动脉弓中段和降主动脉的直径测量上没有明显差异:从常规 CMR 二维各向异性定位器生成各向同性三维主动脉分割的新方法与直接从三维各向同性图像生成的分割结果显示出良好的一致性。该方法可用作主动脉瘤的简单筛查方法,无需额外的序列。

Degeneration of white matter (WM) microstructure in the central nervous system is characteristic of many neurodegenerative conditions. Previous research indicates that axonal degeneration visible in ex vivo electron microscopy (EM) photomicrographs precede the onset of clinical symptoms. Measuring WM microstructural features, such as axon diameter and packing fraction, currently require these highly invasive methods of analysis and it is therefore of great importance to develop methods for in vivo measurements. Diffusion weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive method which can be used in conjunction with temporal diffusion spectroscopy (TDS) and an oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE) pulse sequence to probe micron-scale structures within neural tissue. The current experiment aims to compare axon diameter measurements, mean effective axon diameter (AxD¯), and packing fractions calculated from EM histopathological analysis and inferred values from MR images. Mathematical models of axon diameters used for analysis include the ActiveAx Frequency-Dependent Extra-Axonal Diffusion (AAD) model and the AxCaliber Frequency-Dependent Extra-Axonal Diffusion (ACD) model using ROI (Region of Interest) based analysis (RBA) and voxel-based analysis (VBA), respectively. Overall, it was observed that MRI inferred WM microstructural parameters overestimate those calculated from EM. This may be attributable to tissue shrinkage during EM dehydration, the sensitivity of MR pulse sequences to larger diameter axons, and/or inaccurate model assumptions. The results of the current study provide a means to characterize the precision and accuracy of RBA-ACD and VBA-AAD OGSE-TDS and highlight the need for further research investigating the relationship between ex vivo MRI and EM, with the goal of reaching in vivo MRI.
中枢神经系统白质(WM)微结构的退化是许多神经退行性疾病的特征。以往的研究表明,体内外电子显微镜(EM)显微照片显示的轴突变性先于临床症状的出现。目前,测量轴突直径和堆积分数等 WM 显微结构特征需要这些高侵入性的分析方法,因此开发体内测量方法具有重要意义。弥散加权磁共振成像(MRI)是一种非侵入性方法,可与时间弥散光谱(TDS)和振荡梯度自旋回波(OGSE)脉冲序列结合使用,探测神经组织内的微米级结构。目前的实验旨在比较轴突直径测量值、平均有效轴突直径(AxD¯)和EM组织病理学分析计算出的堆积分数,以及核磁共振图像的推断值。用于分析的轴突直径数学模型包括ActiveAx频率依赖性轴外扩散(AAD)模型和AxCaliber频率依赖性轴外扩散(ACD)模型,分别使用基于ROI(感兴趣区)的分析(RBA)和基于体素的分析(VBA)。总体而言,MRI推断出的WM微结构参数高估了EM计算出的参数。这可能是由于电磁脱水过程中组织收缩、磁共振脉冲序列对直径较大轴突的敏感性和/或模型假设不准确造成的。目前的研究结果为描述RBA-ACD和VBA-AAD OGSE-TDS的精确度和准确性提供了一种方法,并强调了进一步研究体内外核磁共振成像和电磁波之间关系的必要性,其目标是达到体内核磁共振成像的水平。

Compressed Sensing (CS) is important in the field of image processing and signal processing, and CS-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used to reconstruct image from undersampled k-space data. Total Variation (TV) regularisation is a common technique to improve the sparsity of image, and the Alternating Direction Multiplier Method (ADMM) plays a key role in the variational image processing problem. This paper aims to improve the quality of MRI and shorten the reconstruction time. We consider MRI to solve a linear inverse problem, we convert it into a constrained optimization problem based on TV regularisation, then an accelerated ADMM is established. Through a series of theoretical derivations, we verify that the algorithm satisfies the convergence rate of O1/k2 under the condition that one objective function is quadratically convex and the other is strongly convex. We select five undersampled templates for testing in MRI experiment and compare it with other algorithms, experimental results show that our proposed method not only improves the running speed but also gives better reconstruction results.
压缩传感(CS)在图像处理和信号处理领域非常重要,CS-磁共振成像(MRI)用于从欠采样 k 空间数据重建图像。总变异(TV)正则化是改善图像稀疏性的常用技术,而交替方向乘法器法(ADMM)在变异图像处理问题中发挥着关键作用。本文旨在提高核磁共振成像的质量并缩短重建时间。我们认为核磁共振成像求解的是一个线性逆问题,我们将其转换为一个基于 TV 正则化的约束优化问题,然后建立了一个加速 ADMM。通过一系列理论推导,我们验证了在一个目标函数为二次凸函数,另一个目标函数为强凸函数的条件下,算法的收敛速度满足 O1/k2。在核磁共振成像实验中,我们选择了五个欠采样模板进行测试,并与其他算法进行了比较,实验结果表明,我们提出的方法不仅提高了运行速度,而且得到了更好的重建结果。

Purpose: Real-time MRI offers a continuous and dynamic view of the object being imaged. Researchers have applied real-time MRI to speech production, which allows for the visualization of the vocal tract during speech.
Methods: This study proposed applying self-navigated subspace reconstruction for real-time vocal tract imaging. We performed experiments on a clinical 3 T MRI using standard RF coils and rapid acquisition. Additionally, 1000 frames were compressed during reconstruction to a few principal components, and iterative low-rank approximation was performed on compressed k-space, in conjunction with the orthogonal basis estimation for the subspace.
Results: The simulation study involving a 32-time acceleration showed that the proposed method produced a reasonably small root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.159, compared to 0.278 for sliding window reconstruction, 0.2527 for SToRM and 0.294 for low-rank reconstruction. The study also presented in vivo images of a typical sagittal image with a temporal resolution of 7 ms/frame or 21 ms/frame for the three-slice scan.
Conclusion: Our study presented a subspace reconstruction technique that does not require a navigator echo, which can be used for real-time MRI, particularly in speech imaging applications.
目的:实时核磁共振成像可提供被成像物体的连续动态视图。研究人员已将实时磁共振成像应用于语音生成,从而实现了语音过程中声道的可视化:本研究建议将自导航子空间重建应用于声道实时成像。我们使用标准射频线圈和快速采集技术,在临床 3 T 磁共振成像仪上进行了实验。此外,在重建过程中将 1000 个帧压缩为几个主成分,并在压缩的 k 空间上进行迭代低秩逼近,同时对子空间进行正交基估计:涉及 32 次加速的模拟研究表明,与滑动窗口重建的 0.278、STORM 的 0.2527 和低秩重建的 0.294 相比,所提出的方法产生的均方根误差(RMSE)非常小,仅为 0.159。该研究还展示了典型矢状面图像的活体图像,其时间分辨率为 7 毫秒/帧,三片扫描的时间分辨率为 21 毫秒/帧:我们的研究提出了一种无需导航回波的子空间重建技术,可用于实时磁共振成像,尤其是语音成像应用。
