  • Patent number: 12313716
    Abstract: A method and a system for simulating magnetic resonance echo-planar imaging artifacts. Firstly, for K-space artifacts, K-space data are restored through normal magnetic resonance images, and the K-space data are modified pertinently, and then images with artifacts are reconstructed; for susceptibility artifacts, a susceptibility model is constructed through normal magnetic resonance images, and the magnetic field distribution is reconstructed, and then the images with distortion artifacts are reconstructed. According to the present disclosure, a large number of artifact data sets with different artifact types and artifact degrees can be quickly created through a small number of normal images, thus laying a foundation for the research of identifying artifacts, eliminating or weakening artifacts.

  • Patent number: 12274544
    Abstract: A system for precisely locating abnormal areas of brain fiber bundles. The system extracts fiber connections of the whole brain from diffusion magnetic resonance data, and fiber bundle pathways extracts through self-defined fiber bundle pathways or based on brain fiber bundle templates. A selected fiber bundle pathway is projected on a fiber connection result of the whole brain and finely segmented. The imaging indexes such as fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, intra-neurite volume fraction and orientation dispersion index are calculated from diffusion magnetic resonance data, so as to obtain the imaging index of each node of each fiber bundle pathway. These imaging indexes are configured to classify the disease group and the healthy group by a machine learning method, and which nodes on which fiber bundle pathways have abnormal changes with different diseases can be precisely located.

  • Patent number: 12223650
    Abstract: A system for predicting disease with graph convolutional neural network based on multimodal magnetic resonance imaging, which extracts the radiomics information of multiple brain regions across modals as the features of nodes from multimodal magnetic resonance data, and extracts the connectomics information between brain regions to form an adjacency matrix. T1-weighted structural images extract cortical information through cortical reconstruction, and resting-state magnetic resonance data are used to calculate amplitude of low frequency fluctuations, regional homogeneity and functional connectivity. Through multimodal data preprocessing, image index extraction and structured data integration, multimodal unstructured magnetic resonance image data are integrated into unified graph-structured data, and the disease is predicted by a graph convolutional neural network method.

  • Patent number: 8965093
    Abstract: A method for registering functional MRI data, comprising: computing the functional connectivity pattern for every voxel in its given spatial neighborhood for every fMRI image; extracting features invariant to spatial location of the neighboring voxels based on the functional connectivity patterns; constructing similarity metric between voxels of different images based on the extracted features, and using fluid-like demons registration model to spatial normalize the fMRI data. The present invention tries to exploit the multi-range functional connectivity information of the fMRI data, and to register functional MR images based on the extracted spatial-location-invariant features. The present invention is robust against local spatial perturbations and does not depend on the assumption that functional signals of different subjects are synchronic, hence can be applied to resting-state fMRI data, and can achieve a statistically significant improvement in functional consistency across subjects.
