  • Patent number: 10782378
    Abstract: A method for reducing artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data includes acquiring a k-space dataset of an anatomical subject using a MRI scanner. An iterative compressed sensing reconstruction method is used to generate a reconstructed image based on the k-space dataset. This iterative compressed sensing reconstruction method uses (a) L1-norm based total variation constraints applied the temporal and spatial dimensions of the k-space dataset and (b) a low rank constraint. After the reconstructed image is generated, a deep learning network is used to generate an artifact image depicting motion artifacts present in the reconstructed image. The reconstructed image is subtracted from the artifact image to yield a final image with the motion artifacts removed.

  • Patent number: 7817838
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium are provided which perform reconstruction of an image from undersampled, multi-image k-space data. A first undersampled image dataset and a second undersampled image dataset defined in a first dimension are received. The first undersampled image dataset and the second undersampled image dataset define a multi-image dimension. An ordering for a plurality of pixels of the first dimension in the multi-image dimension is defined. The first undersampled image dataset and the second undersampled image dataset in the multi-image dimension are sorted based on the defined ordering. A first constraint is defined in the first dimension using the unsorted first and second undersampled image datasets. A second constraint is defined in the multi-image dimension using the sorted first and second undersampled image datasets.

  • Publication number: 20080292167
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium are provided which perform reconstruction of an image from undersampled k-space data. Imaging data of an image area is received. The imaging data is thermal magnetic resonance imaging data in k-space generated at less than the Nyquist rate. A cost function is minimized based on an image estimate and the received imaging data. An image of the image area is defined based on the minimized cost function. The received imaging data may include current k-space data and a summation of k-space data from previous time frames. Additionally, the image may be defined before imaging data is received for a next timeframe.
