Abstract: A system and method is provided for improved magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) data dictionary matching using an MRF dictionary having entries with an inner product storing tissue properties.
Abstract: Described here are systems and methods for correcting motion-encoding gradient nonlinearities in magnetic resonance elastography (“MRE”). In general, the systems and methods described in the present disclosure compute gradient nonlinearity corrected displacement data based on information about the motion-encoding gradients used when acquiring magnetic resonance data.

Abstract: An eddy-current correction method and apparatus, a mobile terminal and a readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: step S1: reading gradient-recalled echo sequence by means of bipolarity, so as to acquire a multi-echo image; step S2: estimating a first-order term coefficient of an extra phase term introduced by an eddy-current in the acquired multi-echo image; step S3: removing the estimated first-order term coefficient, and estimating a zero-order term coefficient of the extra phase term introduced by the eddy-current in the collected multi-echo image; step S4: removing, according to the estimated first-order term coefficient and the zero-order term coefficient, an error of the extra phase term introduced by the eddy-current. The eddy-current correction method removes the phase error caused by the eddy-current in the acquired image, thereby ensuring the correctness of the subsequent water-fat separation algorithm result.
