Background
Magnetic resonance imaging has long been used clinically very widely as a non-invasive early diagnostic modality. In the magnetic resonance image obtained by the magnetic resonance imaging, the strong signal of fat often interferes with the diagnosis and application in treatment of the lesion, and the contrast of the lesion needs to be increased by inhibiting the signal of fat, namely, the magnetic resonance image is subjected to tissue classification. Commonly used tissue classification methods generally use water-fat separation techniques.
The basic principle of the water-fat separation technology is that Larmor frequency difference of water protons and fat protons is utilized, two times of acquisition are carried out by adjusting echo Time (TE), the transverse magnetization vectors of the two components are in the same phase by the first acquisition, and the sum image of water and fat is obtained; the second acquisition reverses their phase to obtain a difference image.

In the embodiment, a method for classifying tissues of a magnetic resonance image is also provided. The following describes the present embodiment by taking a magnetic resonance imaging system as an example. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for tissue classification of a magnetic resonance image according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the flowchart includes the following steps:
step S201, the magnetic resonance imaging system applies presaturation pulses with different preset frequency values for multiple times in an imaging field of view, acquires magnetic resonance data under the condition that the presaturation pulses with the preset frequency values are applied every time, and reconstructs the magnetic resonance data to obtain a plurality of magnetic resonance amplitude images.
In the above steps, the magnetic resonance imaging system applies a presaturation pulse with a preset frequency value in an imaging field of view before the conventional 2D magnetic resonance imaging or the conventional 3D magnetic resonance imaging, acquires magnetic resonance data under the condition of the presaturation pulse with the preset frequency value, and reconstructs a magnetic resonance amplitude image according to the acquired magnetic resonance data. Then, the magnetic resonance imaging system changes the frequency value of the pre-saturation pulse applied in the imaging field to another preset frequency value, acquires the magnetic resonance data under the condition of the pre-saturation pulse with the another preset frequency value, and reconstructs the magnetic resonance data according to the acquired magnetic resonance data to obtain another magnetic resonance amplitude image. And analogizing until the magnetic resonance imaging system obtains magnetic resonance amplitude images under the condition of all pre-saturation pulses with preset frequency values, or the obtained magnetic resonance amplitude images reach the set number and the selected preset frequency values cover the preset range, and then executing the next step.
The Imaging sequence employed for the magnetic resonance Imaging in step S201 may be any Imaging sequence, including, but not limited to, Fast Spin Echo (FSE), Gradient Echo (GRE), Echo Planar Imaging (EPI), and any Non-Cartesian coordinate system (Non-Cartesian) acquisition. Furthermore, magnetic resonance imaging also allows the use of down-sampling techniques, i.e. the reconstruction of a magnetic resonance image based on partial K-space data without acquiring complete K-space data, resulting in the magnetic resonance amplitude image described above.
In this embodiment the magnetic resonance imaging system applies a pre-saturation pulse prior to the magnetic resonance data acquisition, which is aimed at saturating the magnetic resonance signals in whole or in part over a relatively narrow frequency range. The pre-saturation pulse may be composed of one or more Frequency selective Radio Frequency (RF) pulses, and may further include one or more saturation gradients between or after the RF pulses. The pulse energy of the pre-saturation pulse should not be too high to minimize magnetization transfer effects.
In some of these embodiments, the frequency values of the pre-saturation pulses applied by the magnetic resonance imaging system at different preset frequency values in step S201 cover the resonance frequency and the off-resonance frequency within a preset range around the resonance frequency, for example-5 ppm to +5ppm, or-3.5 ppm to +3.5 ppm. Where ppm denotes a frequency of a few parts per million of a frequency value of a center frequency point (a resonance frequency in the present embodiment), for example, -5ppm to +5ppm denotes that a preset range covered by the preset frequency value is in a range of 0.9995% to 1.0005% of the resonance frequency value.
The magnetic resonance image reconstruction method employed by the magnetic resonance imaging system in step S201 may employ any magnetic resonance image reconstruction technique, including but not limited to one of the following:
(1) conventional method, parallel imaging method. For example, generalized auto-calibration partial Parallel acquisition (GRAPPA), etc., the data obtained at each off-resonance frequency (i.e., the frequency of the pre-saturation pulse) in step S201 is respectively subjected to imaging reconstruction.
(2) A high-level method. Such as key-hold, compressed sensing, etc. The data of all the partial resonance frequencies can be reconstructed together by adopting a high-level method, the data of different partial resonance frequencies can obviously or implicitly borrow the data of other partial resonance frequencies during reconstruction, and finally, a series of 2D or 3D magnetic resonance amplitude images under different partial resonance frequencies are reconstructed.
Step S202, the magnetic resonance imaging system determines a variation curve of the amplitude and a preset frequency value of the image unit at the same position in the plurality of magnetic resonance amplitude images according to the plurality of reconstructed magnetic resonance amplitude images.
The series of magnetic resonance amplitude images obtained in step S201 may be 2D magnetic resonance amplitude images or 3D magnetic resonance amplitude images according to different magnetic resonance imaging modes. In step S202, the magnetic resonance imaging system calculates a variation curve of the amplitudes of the image units at the same positions in the magnetic resonance amplitude images along with the preset frequency value of the presaturation pulse according to the plurality of reconstructed magnetic resonance amplitude images, so as to obtain a response result of each image unit in the magnetic resonance amplitude images to the off-resonance frequency. The image unit refers to a component unit of a magnetic resonance amplitude image, the image unit is a pixel in a 2D magnetic resonance amplitude image, and the image unit is a voxel in a 3D magnetic resonance amplitude image.
Step S203, the magnetic resonance imaging system classifies the tissue types corresponding to the image units according to the variation curve.
The amplitude of an image unit in the magnetic resonance amplitude image is mainly formed by overlapping the amplitude of a water signal and the amplitude of a fat signal; while different types of tissue have different water signal intensity (or proportion of water to tissue) and fat signal intensity (or proportion of fat to tissue, also known as fat fraction). Therefore, according to the change curve of the amplitude of the image unit along with the preset frequency value of the pre-saturation pulse, the characteristics of the water signal and the fat signal of the tissue where the image unit is located are obtained, and the tissue type can be classified according to the characteristics. Compared with the tissue classification method in which the water-fat separation technology in the related art can only distinguish water and fat components, by adopting the steps S201 to S203 in the embodiment of the present application, more precise tissue classification can be realized according to the ratio of water and fat in different types of tissues (e.g., lung tissue and brain tissue), or the characteristics of the water signal and the fat signal, or the characteristics of the superimposed signal of the water signal and the fat signal. Moreover, the steps S201 to S203 in the embodiment of the present application do not depend on a specific magnetic resonance data acquisition method and a specific magnetic resonance image reconstruction method, so that a suitable magnetic resonance data acquisition method and a suitable magnetic resonance image reconstruction method can be selected according to an application scene and a scanning part, and adverse effects caused by nonuniformity of a main magnetic field are reduced, thereby realizing adaptation to various application scenes and reducing requirements of a tissue classification method on main magnetic field uniformity.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a method for tissue classification of a magnetic resonance image according to a preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, wherein in some embodiments the flow of the method for tissue classification of a magnetic resonance image comprises the following steps:
step S301, the magnetic resonance imaging system applies presaturation pulses with different preset frequency values for multiple times in an imaging field of view, acquires magnetic resonance data under the condition that the presaturation pulses with the preset frequency values are applied every time, and reconstructs the magnetic resonance data to obtain a plurality of magnetic resonance amplitude images.
Step S302, the magnetic resonance imaging system determines a variation curve of the amplitude value and a preset frequency value of the image unit at the same position in the plurality of magnetic resonance amplitude images according to the plurality of reconstructed magnetic resonance amplitude images.
Step S303, the magnetic resonance imaging system uses a preset function to fit a signal peak in the variation curve, where the signal peak includes: water peak and/or fat peak.
The amplitude of the image unit in the magnetic resonance amplitude image is mainly formed by the superposition of the water signal amplitude and the fat signal amplitude. Through experimental statistics, the amplitude of an image unit in a magnetic resonance amplitude image is related to magnetic resonance imaging parameters such as partial resonance frequency and the like. Therefore, the signal peak in step S302 is fitted with a preset function that can characterize the amplitude, off-resonance frequency and other magnetic resonance imaging parameter interrelations of the image elements in the magnetic resonance amplitude image.
The preset function in this embodiment is typically obtained by the monte carlo method. The magnetic resonance imaging parameters in this embodiment include, but are not limited to, at least one of: longitudinal relaxation time, transverse relaxation time, longitudinal magnetization vector recovery rate, transverse magnetization vector recovery rate, partial resonance frequency. Wherein the longitudinal relaxation time and the longitudinal magnetization vector recovery rate are reciprocal to each other, and the transverse relaxation time and the transverse magnetization vector recovery rate are reciprocal to each other.
In the present embodiment, a preset function is provided to obtain the off-resonance frequency, the transverse relaxation time (or transverse magnetization vector recovery rate), and the longitudinal relaxation time (or longitudinal magnetization vector recovery rate) of the corresponding image unit. The preset function is expressed as follows:
Figure BDA0002333860370000141
where f (ω) is the signal intensity shown by the curve, a0For parameters representing the amplitude of the signal, R2Representing the transverse magnetization vector recovery rate, ω representing the frequency of the pre-saturation pulse, ω0Represents the off-resonance frequency, b1Representing the amplitude, R, of the pre-saturation pulse1Representing the longitudinal magnetization vector recovery rate.
In the above formula, f, b1ω is a known quantity, and R can be obtained by curve fitting2、R1、ω0The numerical value of (c).
Moreover, when the magnetic resonance imaging system performs curve fitting, only a water peak consisting of water signals can be generally fitted; it is also possible to fit both a water peak consisting of a water signal and a fat peak consisting of a fat signal. However, considering the efficiency of curve fitting and reducing the computer resources occupied by curve fitting, the signal peak corresponding to the signal with stronger signal intensity can be selected for curve fitting according to the intensity of the water signal and the fat signal.
Step S304, the magnetic resonance imaging system classifies the tissue types corresponding to the image unit according to the characteristics of the signal peak, and the characteristics of the signal peak comprise: the amplitude and/or full width at half maximum of the signal peak.
In step S303, after the magnetic resonance imaging parameters are obtained by curve fitting, the variation curve of the water signal and/or the fat signal can be separated from the variation curve of the superimposed signal, so that the tissue types corresponding to the image unit can be classified according to the features of the water peak and/or the fat peak.
Fig. 4 is a graph showing the variation of signal amplitude with offset resonance frequency in a magnetic resonance image for four different types of tissues according to the preferred embodiment of the present application. In these change curves, the horizontal axis corresponding to the position of the vertical dotted line represents the resonance frequency, the horizontal axis represents the unit ppm, and the vertical axis represents the signal amplitude intensity. Wherein, in the b) diagram of fig. 4, the fat signal is negligible, i.e. the b) diagram of fig. 4 can be basically considered as the variation curve (i.e. water peak) of the water signal. Then in the b) diagram of fig. 4, the amplitude and/or full width at half maximum of the water peak can be used as its characteristic and the tissue type can be determined from the characteristic.
In some embodiments, the features and the tissue types corresponding to the features may be obtained in advance through a statistical method, or the features of different types of tissues may be learned through a machine learning method and automatic classification may be implemented. For example, in some embodiments, the classification of the tissue type corresponding to the image unit according to the feature of the signal peak may be performed by inputting the feature of the signal peak into a machine learning model with complete training to obtain a classification result, where the classification result is used to represent the tissue type corresponding to the image unit corresponding to the feature of the signal peak; and determining the tissue type corresponding to the image unit according to the classification result.
The machine learning model used in the method can be a machine learning model based on a deep learning algorithm, such as various artificial neural network models, or a machine learning model based on a shallow learning algorithm, such as a support vector machine model and a decision tree model. Moreover, in the case where the features used for classification are known in the above embodiment, the use of a machine learning model based on a shallow learning algorithm can reduce the model training overhead.
It should be noted that, the machine learning model and the training method thereof employed in the present embodiment may employ known techniques.
In some of the embodiments, after the signal peaks in the variation curve are fitted using the preset function, in case that the signal peaks include a water peak and a fat peak, the fat fraction of the image unit may be further determined according to the amplitudes of the water peak and the fat peak of the image unit. The fat score may also serve as a basis for classification or one of the classifications of tissue types.
After the tissue type corresponding to each image unit according to the above-described embodiment, a magnetic resonance image classified by tissue type can be obtained. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the tissue classification result of the magnetic resonance image according to the preferred embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5, which sequentially shows a) a water image, b) a fat image and c) a fat fraction image from left to right. The image in fig. 5 shows dark to light that the proportion of the corresponding component is 0% to 100%, respectively.
In some embodiments, after obtaining the variation curves of the amplitudes of the image units at the same positions in the plurality of magnetic resonance amplitude images and the preset frequency values in step S202 or step S302, the magnetic resonance imaging system may further input the variation curve of each image unit into a machine learning model which is trained completely, so as to obtain a classification result, where the classification result is used to represent a tissue type corresponding to the image unit corresponding to the feature of the signal peak; and then the magnetic resonance imaging system determines the tissue type corresponding to the image unit according to the classification result.
In the embodiment, the variation curve of the amplitude and the preset frequency value of the image unit at the same position in the magnetic resonance amplitude image is directly input into the machine learning model, especially an artificial neural network model with feature extraction capability is adopted, so that the feature extraction step of the variation curve is simplified.
