Description
技术领域Technical Field
本发明属于浓度分布图像重建技术领域,具体涉及一种基于最小二乘QR分解法-梯形公式法的饱和磁化状态下磁声磁粒子浓度图像重建方法。The present invention belongs to the technical field of concentration distribution image reconstruction, and in particular relates to a method for reconstructing magnetoacoustic magnetic particle concentration images under a saturated magnetization state based on a least squares QR decomposition method-trapezoidal formula method.
背景技术Background Art
磁性纳米粒子(MNPs)因其低毒性、良好的生物相容性、磁响应性以及在外加磁场作用下的可控性在生物医学领域得到广泛应用,包括:磁热疗、药物递送、靶向治疗、基因治疗等。磁粒子成像(Magnetic Particle Imaging,MPI)是最早将磁纳米粒子应用于医学诊断的成像方法,2005年,Gleich B等人首次在Nature上对MPI成像方法进行报道。但其空间分辨率受理论和设备因素的影响,目前在1-5mm,为进一步提高空间分辨率,2020年,史晓玉等人首次提出了感应式磁声磁粒子浓度成像(Magneto-Acoustic ConcentrationTomography with Magnetic Induction MACT-MI),该方法天然克服了驱动线圈和检测线圈之间的电磁干扰问题,融合了电磁技术、超声技术的优势,兼具无创、对比度好、灵敏度高以及空间分辨率高等优点。Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are widely used in the biomedical field due to their low toxicity, good biocompatibility, magnetic responsiveness, and controllability under an external magnetic field, including magnetic hyperthermia, drug delivery, targeted therapy, gene therapy, etc. Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is the earliest imaging method to apply magnetic nanoparticles to medical diagnosis. In 2005, Gleich B et al. first reported the MPI imaging method in Nature. However, its spatial resolution is affected by theoretical and equipment factors and is currently 1-5 mm. In order to further improve the spatial resolution, in 2020, Shi Xiaoyu et al. first proposed Magneto-Acoustic Concentration Tomography with Magnetic Induction MACT-MI. This method naturally overcomes the electromagnetic interference problem between the drive coil and the detection coil, combines the advantages of electromagnetic technology and ultrasonic technology, and has the advantages of non-invasiveness, good contrast, high sensitivity, and high spatial resolution.
对于MACT-MI逆问题的研究,2019年12月25日,许正阳等人申请的《一种磁声耦合的磁性纳米粒子浓度图像重建方法》(专利号:201911020966.0)公开了一种磁声耦合的磁性纳米粒子浓度图像重建方法,使用时间反演法进行声源重建,涉及声压求导过程,放大了数据噪声对重建结果的影响,算法稳定性较差,且重建结果存在边界奇异性。2021年,胡宇等人提出了基于TSVD(截断奇异值分解)的磁声磁粒子浓度成像方法,该方法在对于系数矩阵为小型稀疏矩阵时成像效果较好,但应对大型稀疏系数矩阵成像效果不理想,且其理论公式仅适用于求解浓度均匀分布的情况,适用范围较窄,所以MACT-MI的逆问题重建还需要进行进一步研究。Regarding the study of the inverse problem of MACT-MI, on December 25, 2019, Xu Zhengyang et al. applied for "A magnetoacoustic coupled magnetic nanoparticle concentration image reconstruction method" (patent number: 201911020966.0), which disclosed a magnetoacoustic coupled magnetic nanoparticle concentration image reconstruction method. The time inversion method is used for sound source reconstruction, which involves the sound pressure derivative process, amplifies the influence of data noise on the reconstruction result, and the algorithm stability is poor, and the reconstruction result has boundary singularities. In 2021, Hu Yu et al. proposed a magnetoacoustic magnetic particle concentration imaging method based on TSVD (truncated singular value decomposition). This method has a good imaging effect when the coefficient matrix is a small sparse matrix, but the imaging effect is not ideal for large sparse coefficient matrices, and its theoretical formula is only applicable to solving the case of uniform concentration distribution, and the scope of application is narrow, so the inverse problem reconstruction of MACT-MI needs further research.
