基于混合空间投影的平面回波成像中ghost伪影校正(英文)

Ghost artifact removal in EPI using projection in hybrid-space

为了消除在磁共振成像过程中奇、偶回波之间的相位移动产生的ghost伪影,提出了基于混合空间投影的方法.首先运用混合空间沿相位方向的投影来计算奇、偶回波的相位差,然后对相位差进行非线性拟合并对奇偶回波的相位进行恢复,最后沿相位编码方向作傅立叶逆变换得到校正图像.实验结果表明运用该方法线性和非线性相位差均可以被校正,可以明显降低ghost伪影的强度.实验结果证明了算法消除ghost伪影的有效性.

Ghost artifacts occur in magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） reconstruction because odd and even echoes have different phase offsets. A method based on the projection in hybrid-space is described to remove ghost artifacts. First, the projection of the even and odd lines along phase-encoding direction in hybrid-space was used to estimate the phase difference between odd and even echoes. Secondly, we fit the phase difference and used it to correct the phase of even or odd echoes. Finally, the corrected image was obtained by performing the inverse Fourier transform along phase-encoding direction in hybrid-space. The experimental results show that linear and nonlinear differences can be corrected and the intensity of ghost artifacts is significantly reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in ghost artifact removal.
