Problems solved by technology

[0006] In the above method, each breath-hold can only collect a single-layer image, and multiple breath-holds are required to collect multi-layer images. The number of breath-holds is large, the acquisition time is long, and the patient's comfort is low.

Abstract

The invention discloses a myocardium T1 quantifying method. The method includes the steps that after electrocardiograph gating trigger delay, non-layer-selection inversion pulses are applied; real-time interlaced collection of at least two layers of images is carried out with a fast spoiled gradient echo low-angle shot sequence of a radial sampling trajectory, and the inversion recovery process of signals is captured; a sampling line in diastole is selected to serve as a K space center line; with the selected sampling line as the center, the sampling line is symmetrically selected to carry out image reconstruction according to the size of a reconstruction window; a T1 quantifying graph is fitted with restructured images. The invention further discloses a device based on the method. By means of the method and the device, multiple layers of T1 quantifying images can be collected in one time of breathholding, the whole heart can be covered in two or three times of breathholding, and thus time waste and patient discomfort caused by breathholding are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of cardiovascular imaging, and specifically relates to a method and device for quantifying myocardial T1. Background technique [0002] Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a non-invasive imaging technique that can evaluate the function, shape and structure of the cardiovascular system. The quantification of myocardial T1 value can be used in the diagnosis of various diseases such as myocardial infarction and myocardial fibrosis. In vivo T1 quantification of myocardium remains challenging due to acquisition time constraints imposed by heart beating and respiratory motion. [0003] The commonly used methods for measuring myocardial T1 value are as follows: [0004] (1) MOLLI (ModifiedLook-Lockerinversionrecovery): after the inversion pulse (IR), use bssfp (balancesteadystatefreeprecession) sequence imaging at different delay (TI) times, and combine the data collected multiple times into one gr...
