A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11885862B2) discloses a method for accelerating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations using deep learning (DL) techniques. The method involves acquiring fully sampled reference k-space data of a subject, along with partial k-space data, and combining them to generate grafted k-space data for accelerated examination. By grafting the partial k-space data with the fully sampled reference k-space data before DL module-based reconstruction, structural information is provided to correct any grafting artifacts, enhancing the efficiency of the MRI process.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system that implements this method. The system includes a radiofrequency (RF) body coil for signal transmission and reception, a transceiver module for signal digitization, and a control system for processing the signals to generate k-space data. The system utilizes a computer processor to graft the partial k-space data with the fully sampled reference k-space data, facilitating accelerated examination. Additionally, a DL module, trained using the fully sampled reference k-space data and grafted k-space data, is employed to remove any artifacts. The system's smart loss function, comprising multiple regularization terms, dynamically adjusts the weights assigned to these terms based on their relevance during training, ensuring optimal performance in MRI image reconstruction.
