  • Method for eliminating aliasing artifacts in a magnetic resonance image
    Patent number: 11187770
    Abstract: Method for eliminating aliasing artifacts in a magnetic resonance image, comprising the steps of obtaining a first and a second starting image (100a,100b) obtained by a determined acquisition sequence and using, respectively a phase encoding for columns, and a phase encoding for rows. Both the first and the second starting image (100a,100b) are organized in according to a matrix structure (m·n) comprising a plurality of portions (101a,101b) arranged according to m rows and n columns, each of which is associated to a respective numerical value corresponding to the light intensity of the portion. The method provides a translation step for translating at least one between the first and the second starting image (100a,100b) with respect to a respective reference system, in such a way to minimize the differences among the numerical values of the homologous portions of the first and of the second starting image due to the fact that the first and the second starting image are obtained by a different encoding phase.
