从梯度回波磁共振成像中量化T2*受主体运动影响显著,因磁场不均匀性易随运动变化导致信号丢失。为此,本文扩展了先前提出的基于学习的物理信息运动校正方法PHIMO,利用采集知识提升对复杂运动模式的重建性能,并增强对大脑不同区域磁场不均匀性的鲁棒性。在模拟与真实运动数据上进行了全面评估,结果表明,改进后的PHIMO在运动检测准确性和图像质量方面均优于现有学习基线方法,且与依赖冗余采集的先进传统方法表现相当。相比该状态方法,其扫描时间减少超过40%,证明PHIMO在研究与临床实践中具有优异的运动鲁棒性与效率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Purpose: T2* quantification from gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging is particularly affected by subject motion due to the high sensitivity to magnetic field inhomogeneities, which are influenced by motion and might cause signal loss. Thus, motion correction is crucial to obtain high-quality T2* maps. Methods: We extend our previously introduced learning-based physics-informed motion correction method, PHIMO, by utilizing acquisition knowledge to enhance the reconstruction performance for challenging motion patterns and increase PHIMO's robustness to varying strengths of magnetic field inhomogeneities across the brain. We perform comprehensive evaluations regarding motion detection accuracy and image quality for data with simulated and real motion. Results: Our extended version of PHIMO outperforms the learning-based baseline methods both qualitatively and quantitatively with respect to line detection and image quality. Moreover, PHIMO performs on-par with a conventional state-of-the-art motion correction method for T2* quantification from gradient echo MRI, which relies on redundant data acquisition. Conclusion: PHIMO's competitive motion correction performance, combined with a reduction in acquisition time by over 40% compared to the state-of-the-art method, make it a promising solution for motion-robust T2* quantification in research settings and clinical routine.
