Correcting Motion Artifacts in Magnetic Resonance Images

نویسنده

چکیده

Motion of the patient during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) introduces artifacts that can severely degrade the images. A method is proposed to correct for artifacts caused by translational motion, using only information contained in the MRI data. Initial simulation results show the algorithm to be effective in the presence of realistic noise levels. The method is suitable for routine clinical use and could also be applied to MRI diffusion imaging.

Artifacts of Titanium, Zirconium, and Binary Titanium-Zirconium Abutments in Compute Tomography, Cone Beam Computed Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate imaging artifacts induced by Titanium, Zirconium, Titanium-Zirconium abutments in CT, MRI and CBCT imaging modalities.Methods: A 4×8mm titanium fixture was inserted in a dry human mandible. Titanium, Zirconium and Titanium–Zirconium abutments measuring 10.5 mm in height are located on the fixture, one by one. Each abutment was scan...

The B-matrix must be rotated when correcting for subject motion in DTI data.

To estimate diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) measures, such as fractional anisotropy and fiber orientation, reliably, a large number of diffusion-encoded images is needed, preferably cardiac gated to reduce pulsation artifacts. However, the concomitant longer acquisition times increase the chances of subject motion adversely affecting the estimation of these measures. While correcting for motion arti...

Nonlinear phase correction for navigated diffusion imaging.

Motion during diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) introduces phase errors that can cause significant artifacts in brain images. One method of correcting these errors uses additional navigator data to measure the phase corruptions. Standard navigator methods correct for rigid-body motion but cannot correct for nonrigid deformations of the brain related to the cardiac cycle. This work derives a gene...

Accelerating Magnetic Resonance Imaging through Compressed Sensing Theory in the Direction space-k

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging method widely used in medical diagnosis. Data in MRI are obtained line-by-line within the K-space, where there are usually a great number of such lines. For this reason, magnetic resonance imaging is slow. MRI can be accelerated through several methods such as parallel imaging and compressed sensing, where a fraction of the K-space lines...

Using Active Contours and Fourier Descriptors for Motion Tracking with Applications in MRI

To estimate motion, the edges of a moving object can be detected using Active Contours. After detecting the edges throughout the duration of the motion, the contours are registered together in order to obtain the motion model parameters. This idea can be applied to motion artifacts in Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) which are caused by patient motion during the acquisition of an MRI. Thus, if t...
