传统磁共振(MR)傅里叶成像方法由于傅里叶不确定性,k空间扩展编码采样长度能提高图像空间分辨率,但是以降低图像信噪比为代价。提出基于最大似然优化模型的各向异性约束MR成像新方法,将离散傅里叶变换模型改进为惩罚约束函数的最优值搜索问题。利用医学结构的先验信息,将正则化惩罚运算细化至平滑区域、边界邻域、边界和边界的方向。实验结果表明,该方法不但能扩展k空间高频数据采样长度同时有效降低高斯噪声,而且能克服现有相关约束成像方法的二次模糊和Gibbs环状伪影。
Fourier imaging in MRI application has the dilemma that using extended k-space sampling to improve image reso- lution also degrades the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) because of the Fourier uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a new method using anisotropically constrained image reconstruction based on a penalized maximum likelihood optimality model, which is an optimization problem instead of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) approach. Anisotropic regularization for en- forcing anatomical prior information is proposed, where directional regularization operators apply to the smooth areas, neigh- boring edge areas and edges respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed method enables extended k-space sampling while suppressing Gaussian noise and reducing the reblurring problem and the Gibbs ringing artifacts of existing constrained reconstruction methods.
