Abstract

Spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging detects a variety of pathologic states with great sensitivity. A technique for producing multiple spin-echo images in multisection operation is presented. This method of intensity-image acquisition is compared with retrospective intensity-image synthesis from routine data sets. Both yield long echo time (TE) images with similar image contrast and comparable and often increased diagnostic utility. Technical and clinical considerations are addressed, including signal-to-noise levels, flow effects, and patient throughput.

A penalized likelihood approach to magnetic resonance image reconstruction.

Currently, images acquired via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology are reconstructed using the discrete inverse Fourier transform. While computationally convenient, this approach is not able to filter out noise. This is a serious limitation because the amount of noise in MRI and fMRI can be substantial. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to reconstruction, based on penalized likelihood methodology. In particular, we focus on non-linear shrinkage estimators and show that this approach achieves a great reduction in integrated mean squared error (IMSE) of the estimated image with respect to the currently used estimator. This approach is extremely fast and easy to implement computationally. In addition, it can be combined with various alternative approaches to MR image reconstruction and can be easily adapted to other, non-MRI contexts, in which the observed data and the quantities of interest are related via a linear transform.
