Problems solved by technology

Second, while MR images can be aligned to a normalized space, paired MR images are difficult to achieve voxel-to-voxel registration
Therefore, the reconstruction of thin-section MRI images will include complex processes of image registration and image reconstruction

Abstract

The invention discloses a thin layer magnetic resonance image reconstruction method based on deep learning. The method comprises the specific steps that 1) thick layer magnetic resonance images are collected on the axial and sagittal planes of a brain; 2) the thick layer magnetic resonance images are registered and normalized; 3) the paired and registered thick layer magnetic resonance images areused to train an image fusion network based on 3D U-net to generate a preliminary reconstruction result of a thin layer magnetic resonance image; and 4) the preliminary reconstruction result of the thin layer magnetic resonance image and a corresponding sagittal thick layer magnetic resonance image are used to train details to reconstruct the network and acquire a final reconstruction result. In the data set of magnetic resonance images of adolescent brains, the method provided by the invention can provide a better thin layer magnetic resonance image reconstruction result, and the reconstructed magnetic resonance image can better show the structure and detail of a brain. The estimation accuracy of gray matters, white matters and total brain volume in the magnetic resonance image can be greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computer medical image processing, and in particular relates to a method for reconstructing thin-slice magnetic resonance images based on deep learning. Background technique [0002] Medical imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography (Computed Tomography, CT) can produce tomographic images of human body cross sections. The resulting imaging signal reconstructs a 3D volumetric image of the body part. The interval between slices is a key imaging parameter of magnetic resonance imaging. For example, thick-slice magnetic resonance images, also known as conventional magnetic resonance images, usually use a slice thickness of 5 mm to 8 mm. Thick-slice magnetic resonance images are often used for disease screening and initial diagnosis, but cannot be used to accurately describe brain structure and brain function, or for surgical planning and guidance, because many clinic...
