C a ( t m ) C a ( t m - 1 ) ... C a ( t l ) ; Wherein D0≤l≤Total (t);D0≤m≤n;Total (t) represents the overall time that contrast medium passes through。
Note aijIt is the element of matrix M after improving, as satisfied 0≤j≤i:
aij=Δ t (Ca(ti-j)+4*Ca(ti-j+1)+Ca(ti-j+2))/6(8)
A in other situationsij=0;Then formula (5) is changed to
M b=C (9)
Formula (9) is carried out SVD decomposition and obtains diagonal matrix W, orthogonal matrix V, triangular matrix U。
Step S402, processed according to threshold strategies after diagonal matrix S, and determine the relative quantification parameter of perfusion according to diagonal matrix S;Wherein S=1/W。
Diagonal matrix S after utilizing threshold strategies to be processed;And S=1/W;In the invention process example, threshold value chooses 0.2*max (W);This threshold value is according to magnetic resonance acquisition system experience gained in the present invention。Then formula (7) can be written as:
B=V*S* (UT*C)(10)
The pertinent literature so calculated according to perfusion can obtain rCBF=max (b)。Thus can obtain parameters variable successively according to the relation of perfusion relative quantification parameter, Fig. 3 is to one of result that clinical patient Perfusion Imaging data process in the invention process example。
