  • Publication number: 20230288513
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out post-processing on a first set of samples measuring the magnitude of a WASAB1 signal delivered by a magnetic-resonance medical-imaging apparatus. Such a method comprises a step of detecting the samples of a first set Z, for which samples the respective polarities of the values of the measured signal are known, and of constructing a second set Y of “polarised” samples. Such a method further comprises a step of fitting a determined model to said second set Y, the two parameters of the determined model describing the static magnetic field B0 and excitation magnetic field B1 of the magnetic-resonance medical-imaging apparatus, respectively, and of producing an estimation of the parameters B0 and B1 of the model. Such a method relates to any magnetic-resonance-imaging application in which a correction for inhomogeneities in the fields B0 and B1 is required.

  • Publication number: 20230225630
    Abstract: A system and method for denoising experimental data originating from multiple acquisitions by a magnetic resonance imaging device, by analysis of selected principal components, to obtain a better compromise between the efficiency of the denoising and retention of the relevant information in the experimental data under consideration during their reconstruction to produce denoised experimental data. A selection criterion is based on the informative indicators quantifying the spatial information contained in images of scores associated with said principal components. The invention also provides for the capability to apply an adaptive filtering excluding the persistent spatial noise associated with each component selected.
