  • Patent number: 11681001
    Abstract: A method for magnetic resonance imaging corrects non-stationary off-resonance image artifacts. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus performs an imaging acquisition using non-Cartesian trajectories and processes the imaging acquisitions to produce a final image. The processing includes reconstructing a complex-valued image and using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to correct for non-stationary off-resonance artifacts in the image. The CNN is preferably a residual network with multiple residual layers.

  • Patent number: 10740931
    Abstract: A method for magnetic resonance imaging performs unsupervised training of a deep neural network of an MRI apparatus using a training set of under-sampled MRI scans, where each scan comprises slices of under-sampled, unclassified k-space MRI measurements. The MRI apparatus performs an under-sampled scan to produce under-sampled k-space data, updates the deep neural network with the under-sampled scan, and processes the under-sampled k-space data by the updated deep neural network of the MRI apparatus to reconstruct a final MRI image.

  • Patent number: 10527699
    Abstract: An MRI apparatus performs multi-channel calibration acquisitions using a multi-channel receiver array and uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to compute an estimated profile map that characterizes properties of the multi-channel receiver array. The profile map is composed of orthogonal vectors and transforms single-channel image space data to multi-channel image space data. The MRI apparatus performs a prospectively subsampled imaging acquisition and processes the resulting k-space data using the estimated profile map to reconstruct a final image. The CNN may be pretrained in an unsupervised manner using subsampled simulated multi-channel calibration acquisitions and using a regularization function included in a training loss function.

  • Patent number: 10520573
    Abstract: A method for performing wave-encoded magnetic resonance imaging of an object is provided. The method includes applying one or more wave-encoded magnetic gradients to the object, and acquiring MR signals from the object. The method further includes calibrating a wave point-spread function, and reconstructing an image from the MR signals based at least in part on the calibrated wave point-spread function. Calibration of the wave point-spread function is based at least in part on one or more intermediate images generated from the MR signals.

  • Patent number: 10393842
    Abstract: A method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans a field of view and acquires sub-sampled multi-channel k-space data U. An imaging model A is estimated. Sub-sampled multi-channel k-space data U is divided into sub-sampled k-space patches, each of which is processed using a deep convolutional neural network (ConvNet) to produce corresponding fully-sampled k-space patches, which are assembled to form fully-sampled k-space data V, which is transformed to image space using the imaging model adjoint Aadj to produce an image domain MRI image. The processing of each k-space patch ui preferably includes applying the k-space patch ui as input to the ConvNet to infer an image space bandpass-filtered image yi, where the ConvNet comprises repeated de-noising blocks and data-consistency blocks; and estimating the fully-sampled k-space patch vi from the image space bandpass-filtered image yi using the imaging model A and a mask matrix.
