Patent number: 10803631Abstract: A method for magnetic resonance imaging may include acquiring first k-space data that is generated by entering acquired magnetic resonance (MR) data into a plurality of first k-space locations. The method may further include synthesizing second k-space data for a plurality of second k-space locations that are not filled with the acquired MR data. The method may further include reconstructing an image from the first k-space data and the second k-space data by applying a reconstruction algorithm. The reconstruction algorithm is based at least in part on a neural network technique.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Guobin Li, Nan Liu, Jinguang Zong, Xiaoqian Huang, Shu Liao

Patent number: 10638951Abstract: A method may include obtaining first image data of a first subject and obtaining a target machine learning model. The first image data may indicate a first intensity distribution of a first magnetic field relative to at least one portion of the first subject. The target machine learning model may provide a mapping relationship between second intensity distributions of second magnetic fields and corresponding second susceptibility distributions associated with second subjects under the second magnetic fields. The method may also include generating a first susceptibility distribution associated with the first subject under the first magnetic field based on the target machine learning model and the first image data. The method may further include determining a target MR image of the at least one portion of the first subject based on the first susceptibility distribution.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: SHANGHAI UNITED IMAGING HEALTHCARE CO., LTD.Inventors: Yongquan Ye, Jinguang Zong
