Specific embodiment
To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer and more explicit, right as follows in conjunction with drawings and embodiments The present invention is further described.It should be appreciated that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention, and do not have to It is of the invention in limiting.
Due to when calculating IVIM parameter, mainly using b=0s/mm in the prior art2Image and b thereafter be not 0 When image carry out attenuation model fitting, but this mode is fitted difficulty, and measurement result is unstable, it is difficult in clinical medicine Middle practical application is got up.To solve the above-mentioned problems, a kind of signal of irrelevant movement imaging in voxel is provided in the present embodiment Processing method, it is specific as shown in fig. 1, this method comprises:
Step S100, the b Distribution value of non-zero is set, and IVIM Diffusion Imaging is carried out at each b value based on MRI scanner Magnetic resonance imaging exports the corresponding image of each b value;The b value represents the intensity of Diffusion Imaging gradient magnetic;
Step S200, region of interest on the corresponding IVIM Diffusion Imaging image of each b value is subjected to attenuation model Fitting, output indicate the IVIM parameter of b value and imaging signal strength relationship.
According to double exponential decay models, IVIM parameter is indicated by three parameters, respectively Dslow(D), Dfast(D*), PF (f).D by and largeslowReflect the speed of hydrone disperse displacement, DfastReflect the speed of the hydrone displacement of hemoperfusion, The percentage that PF reaction perfusion accounts for, the state of certain organ-tissues can be represented by these three parameters, as shown in figs 2-4 Liver disperse magnetic resonance imaging accompanying drawings.In traditional IVIM calculation method of parameters, b=is mainly used 0s/mm2Image carry out attenuation model fitting with image when b is not 0 thereafter (shown in such as Fig. 2, Fig. 3).But due to b =0s/mm2When (when no additional Diffusion Imaging gradient magnetic) in the magnetic resonance imaging sequence echoplanar of imaging Blood vessel (including tiny blood vessels) is high RST on imaging (EPI) image, and when having additional Diffusion Imaging gradient magnetic, even if b =1s/mm2When, blood vessel (including tiny blood vessels) is shown as low signal on image, as shown in Figure 4.And it can be very from Fig. 3 It is apparent from, the sharp fall of signal between image display b=0 image and b=1 image, and b=1 image and b=2 image Between signal decline it is less.And exponential type decline is not presented between 1,2 image in as shown in Figure 5, b=0;B=0 has with b=1 Very quick blackout, and when b=1 and b=2, liver parenchyma signal is substantially close to (b=2 is slightly lower).Therefore, using b= 0s/mm2Image carry out attenuation model fitting with image when b is not 0 thereafter, caused calculated result is simultaneously unstable, and And be difficult to apply in specific clinical medicine, for example, in clinical medicine, it is difficult to distinguish normal and abnormal organ-tissue (Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 is shown in such as hepatic fibrosis-renal tubular ectasia syndrome, illustration).For this purpose, not using b=0 to scheme when calculating IVIM parameter in the present embodiment As being fitted, to improve the stability of calculated result.
Specifically, the b Distribution value that non-zero is preset in the present embodiment is then based on MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging, magnetic resonance imaging) scanner carries out IVIM Diffusion Imaging magnetic resonance imaging at each b value, export each b value pair The image answered.For example, b value is arranged 15, and it is distributed in 1000s/mm2Hereinafter, for example, can use b=3,10,25, 30,40,50,80,200,300,400,500,600,700,800s/mm2.As Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 in liver with disperse magnetic resonance at As for, in figures 4 and 5 scan when include b=0 image, specifically carry out IVIM parameter calculate when, do not use b =0 image.
Further, need sampler in image acquisition process when carrying out Diffusion Imaging magnetic resonance imaging in the present embodiment Tranquil regular breathing into magnetic resonance imaging.After by magnetic resonance imaging, image corresponding to each b value is obtained.Citing Illustrate, the region of interest in embodiment is drawn in the image based on low b-values, the mode drawn can using manually draw or Person draws automatically, and as shown in Figure 2, disperse magnetic resonance imaging region of interest letter is shown in lower row image lower right in Fig. 2 Attenuation relation number with b value, similar double exponential decay models, enlarged drawing is similar to Fig. 3.According to piecewise fitting side in the present embodiment Method (segmented fitting) is divided when determining low b-values and high b value using threshold value b value.Threshold value b value is used for Disperse and perfusion part are separated, uses b=200s/mm in the present embodiment2As threshold value b value, as shown in Figure 3.Certainly, threshold value B value is not one quantitative, such as b=60s/mm can be used in the IVIM Diffusion Imaging image of liver organ2As threshold value b Value.With the difference that threshold value b value selects, PF, D is imaged in the same IVIMslow, DfastValue can be different therewith.
Further, the present embodiment declines region of interest on the corresponding IVIM Diffusion Imaging image of each b value Subtract models fitting, output indicates the IVIM parameter of b value and imaging signal strength relationship.Preferably, it when being fitted, can be used Double exponential decay model fittings or three Exponential Models.Specifically, the IVIM Diffusion Imaging corresponding when each b value When region of interest carries out double exponential decay model fittings on image, formula are as follows:
SI (b)=SIlowestb×[(1-PF)×exp(-b×Dslow)+PF×exp(-b×Dfast)],
Wherein, SIlowestbFor the minimum corresponding image intensity signal of non-zero b value, SI (b) is the figure that some b value obtains As signal strength, the DslowReflect the speed of hydrone disperse displacement, DfastReflect the fast of the hydrone displacement of hemoperfusion Slowly, the percentage that PF reflection perfusion accounts for.
Due to not using the image of b=0 to be fitted in this implementation, first start fitting be exactly IVIM disperse A minimum non-zero image, can be b=3s/mm in image2, it is also possible to b=15s/mm2
For example, b=3s/mm2Starting point as double exponential dampings.It is greater than b=3s/mm corresponding to remaining2Each b value Signal is calculated as relative to b=3s/mm in disperse image2The ratio of picture signal simultaneously assumes b=3s/mm2Picture signal is 100, i.e., SInorm=(SI/SI3)×100SInormThat is relative signal, SI are corresponding to signal in the disperse image of some value, SI3For b= 3s/mm2Picture signal.According to double exponential decay models, signal decaying is simulated according to following formula:
SI (b)=SI3×[(1-PF)×exp(-b×Dslow)+PF×exp(-b×Dfast)];
If b=3 is most low b-values, 1 (or 100) are set as to induction signal.If according to segmented fitting (piecewise fitting), first calculates Dslow, with least square linear Linear Quasi it is worthwhile >=thresholdb-values (the above b of threshold values b) It is worth corresponding image signals logarithm.The D of acquisitionslowThe above double exponential decay models are substituted into, according to nonlinear least square fitting, The signal strength obtained according to different b value actual measurements is by the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (or according to Trust- Region algorithm) acquire PF and Dfast.Alternatively, as Fig. 3 is shown, the D of acquisitionslowLater according to calculate DslowStraight line reversely prolong Length intersects with starting point ordinate, SI3The distance of signal and crosspoint is PF.
Further, can also will feel on the corresponding IVIM Diffusion Imaging image of each b value in this present embodiment Region of interest carries out three exponential decay model fittings, formula are as follows:
SI (b)=SIlowestb×[F’slow×exp(-b×D’slow)+F’fast×exp(-b×D’fast)+F’Vfast× exp(-b×D’Vfast)],
Wherein, SIlowestbFor the minimum corresponding image intensity signal of non-zero b value, SI (b) is the figure that some b value obtains As signal strength, the D 'slowReflect the speed of hydrone disperse displacement, (D 'Vfast, F 'Vfast) it is the hemoperfusion phase being exceedingly fast The hydrone of pass shifts, (D 'fast, F 'fast) it is the relevant hydrone displacement of faster hemoperfusion.
Other than piecewise fitting presented above, either double exponential decay models or three exponential decay models, IVIM parameter can be calculated with full fitting (full fitting).
It is worth noting that in the application primarily directed to traditional calculating IVIM parameter when, using b=0s/mm2Figure As image when with b not thereafter being 0 improves to carry out the mode of attenuation model fitting, propose a kind of to use b value to be non-zero Approximating method guarantees the stability of calculated result to calculate more precisely IVIM parameter, and is conducive to clinical medical Using.
For example, Fig. 6 shows the IVIM with a collection of 4 Healthy Peoples and 3 hepatic fibrosis-renal tubular ectasia syndrome patients in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 Data DslowWith the result of PF.Healthy People and hepatic fibrosis-renal tubular ectasia syndrome patient are by D when calculating when with b=0slowOr PF cannot area Point, and do not have to Healthy People and hepatic fibrosis-renal tubular ectasia syndrome patient when b=0 and press DslowOr PF can be distinguished.Again as shown in Figure 7, Fig. 7 In A figure illustrate using in the present embodiment in voxel irrelevant movement imaging the hepatic fibrosis that is obtained of signal processing method The differentiation effect of change, the B chart in Fig. 7 show the hepatic fibrosis-renal tubular ectasia syndrome obtained using traditional IVIM calculation method of parameters Distinguish effect.A and B is with a batch IVIM scan data.When calculating IVIM parameter, b=0 is not included in the Fitting Calculation in A figure, can To show hepatic fibrosis-renal tubular ectasia syndrome patient (substantive bead) PF, D compared with Healthy People (hollow beads)slowAnd DfastDecline, therefore Hepatic fibrosis-renal tubular ectasia syndrome and normal sampler can obviously be distinguished.And when calculating IVIM parameter, b=0 is included in fitting meter in B figure It calculates, calculated result is unstable, therefore hepatic fibrosis-renal tubular ectasia syndrome (substantive bead) and normal sampler (hollow beads) cannot be distinguished.It can See, by not using the image the Fitting Calculation of b=0 in method of the invention so that IVIM parameter calculate it is more stable with it is accurate, Be conducive to the extensive use on clinical medicine.
