  • Patent number: 10902651
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A method may include obtaining k-space data associated with MR signals acquired by an MR scanner. The k-space data may corresponding to a first sampling rate. The method may also include generating one or more estimated images based on the k-space data and a target neural network model. The one or more estimated images may correspond to a second sampling rate that exceeds the first sampling rate. The method may further include determining one or more target images based on the one or more estimated images and the k-space data using a compressed sensing model. The compressed sensing model may be constructed based on the one or more estimated images.

  • Patent number: 10803631
    Abstract: A method for magnetic resonance imaging may include acquiring first k-space data that is generated by entering acquired magnetic resonance (MR) data into a plurality of first k-space locations. The method may further include synthesizing second k-space data for a plurality of second k-space locations that are not filled with the acquired MR data. The method may further include reconstructing an image from the first k-space data and the second k-space data by applying a reconstruction algorithm. The reconstruction algorithm is based at least in part on a neural network technique.

  • Publication number: 20190244399
    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for image processing. The method may include obtaining a first set of image data. The method may also include generating a second set of image data by processing, based on a trained machine learning model, the first set of image data. The second set of image data may have a relatively high resolution and/or a relatively low level of artifacts with respect to the first set of image data. The method may further include generating a target image by performing a weighted fusion on the first set of image data and the second set of image data.
