    Abstract: A temperature measuring method and apparatus based on creatine chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging. The method comprises the following steps: (1) performing creatine CEST imaging on a creatine phantom, and analyzing a chemical shift of creatine relative to water in the creatine phantom; (2) fitting a mathematical relation between the chemical shift of the creatine relative to water and the temperature; and (3) performing CEST imaging on creatine in a sample, and calculating the temperature according to the mathematical relation, fitted in step (2), between the chemical shift of the creatine relative to water and the temperature. In the temperature measuring method, the creatine is taken as an endogenous reference, and highly-spatial-resolution, highly-sensitive, and non-invasive absolute temperature measurement can be implemented by means of temperature dependence of a CEST effect of Cr and water.

  • Patent number: 12211267
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, medium and device for extracting a river drying-up region and frequency, and belongs to the technical field of remote sensing. The method for extracting a river drying-up region and frequency can be applied to efficiently acquiring river drying-up information for a long time within the large spatial region. With the inverse normalized difference water index (iNDWI) and the maximum value composite (MVC) method for the remote sensing images, the present disclosure omits the troublesome step of separately extracting a river range for each image in the conventional method. In addition, the present disclosure quickly obtains the drying-up frequency by counting the total number of available images and the number of non-water images at the same pixel position, and yields a greater efficiency for extracting the river drying-up region and frequency.
