PF-FICOTA-SENSE:一种MRI快速重构方法

如何实现快速磁共振成像(Magnetic resonance imaging, MRI)是MRI医学图像技术发展和应用的关键, 现有的快速MRI成像技术在成像速度及成像质量方面仍存在很大的提升空间.本文基于Contourlet变换, 对磁共振图像进行稀疏表示, 并结合传统PF-CS-SENSE框架, 提出一种基于Contourlet变换的组合MRI重构方法, 即PF-FICOTA-SENSE.考虑到组合MRI采样模式、低频数据的对称性以及Contourlet能更好地拟合曲线轮廓等因素, 进一步提出一种快速组合MRI方法, 该方法通过将低频部分重建由FICOTA重建替换为直接填零的傅里叶重建, 来实现快速重建.对比实验表明, 无论在MRI重构速度还是重构质量方面, 本文算法均能取得更好的性能.

Diffusion, utilisation and regional variations in the use of CT and MRI in Sweden

To study the diffusion, access, use, and utilisation of Computerized Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Sweden a national survey was carried out by a written questionnaire mailed to all public and private hospitals and clinics in 1997. To get a survey of CT and MRI in other countries a request asking for number of units was sent to recognised authorities and individuals in selected countries. CT and MRI were introduced in Sweden in 1973 and 1984 respectively. The diffusion of CT and MRI in Sweden are amongst the highest in the world. Considering the small size of the country and the medical community (e.g. facilitating transparency in indications for use of CT and MRI) and the relatively homogeneous health care system (tax based finance system) the regional variations in access, use, and utilisation of CT and MRI were surprisingly large. For example: In 1996 the number of CT examinations per 100.000 inhabitants varied from 3.344 to 4.705 between the regions. The MRI examinations varied from 751 to 1.858. Some of the differences may be explained by demographic factors. Also, reimbursement policies by the county councils for CT and MRI examinations varied which gave different incentives for patient referrals. However, to explain most of the differences more research is needed. Factors like proportion of elderly amongst the populations in the regions and other socio-demographic factors, proportion of research orientation of examinations and national medical specialities, organisation of the health care, etc. may to a greater extent explain the differences.

Improving performance and stability of MPC relevant identification methods

Model Predictive Control (MPC) Relevant Identification (MRI) methods are a good option for identification, if there is model structure mismatch. Herein a new MRI method, named Enhanced Multistep Prediction Error Method (EMPEM), is proposed. EMPEM combines the best characteristics of others MRI methods in a single algorithm. It was developed to identify either closed-loop or open-loop systems; its convergence and stability make it perform better than the other presented methods. To show the advantages of EMPEM, a comparison is made against two other methods (one MRI and one PEM). The statistical analysis indicates that in the cases studied, the performance and the robustness of the new method is equal or better than the other ones.

基于Demon算法的乳房核磁共振图像配准

为了提高乳房动态核磁共振成像中不同时间点序列图像的配准速度,提出了将快速的Demon非刚性配准算法与图像强度校正相结合的乳房图像配准模型。Demon算法本身基于图像强度变化计算变形参数,因此不适于强度动态增强的图像配准。首先根据乳房组织的信号增强模型应用多项式理论校正待配准图像的强度,再应用Demon算法进行几何变形配准。实验表明该算法在精度上远优于直接使用Demon算法,在与自由形变配准算法具有几乎相同配准精度的前提下,明显提高了配准速度。

An improved brain MR image binarization method as a preprocessing for abnormality detection and features extraction

This paper propose a computerized method of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain binarization for the uses of preprocessing of features extraction and brain abnormality identification. One of the main problems of MRI binarization is that many pixels of brain part cannot be correctly binarized due to extensive black background or large variation in contrast between background and foreground of MRI. We have proposed a binarization that uses mean, variance, standard deviation and entropy to determine a threshold value followed by a non-gamut enhancement which can overcome the binarization problem of brain component. The proposed binarization technique is extensively tested with a variety of MRI and generates good binarization with improved accuracy and reduced error. A comparison is carried out among the obtained outcome with this innovative method with respect to other well-known methods.
