. Imaging of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles based on their non-linear response to alternating magnetic fields shows promise for imaging cells and vasculature in healthy and diseased tissue. Such imaging can be achieved through x-space reconstruction typically along a unidirectional Cartesian trajectory, which rapidly convolutes the particle distribution with a 'anisotropic blurring' point spread function (PSF), leading to images with anisotropic resolution.. Here we propose combining the time domine-system matrix and x-space reconstruction methods into a forward model, where the output of the forward model is the PSF-blurred x-space reconstructed image. We then treat the blur as an inverse problem solved by Kaczmarz iteration.. After we have proposed the method optimization, the normal resolution of simulation and device images has been increased from 3.5 mm and 5.25 mm to 1.5 mm and 3.25 mm, which has reached the level in the tangential resolution. Quantitative indicators of image quality such as PSNR and SSIM have also been greatly improved.. Simulation and imaging of real phantoms indicate that our approach provides better isotropic resolution and image quality than the x-space method alone or other methods for removing PSF blur. Using our proposed method to optimize the image quality of x-space reconstructed images using unidirectional Cartesian trajectories, it will promote the clinical application of MPI in the future.
. 基于超顺磁氧化铁纳米颗粒对交变磁场的非线性响应的成像技术有望用于对健康组织和病变组织中的细胞和脉管成像。这种成像可以通过 x 空间重建来实现,通常沿着单向笛卡尔轨迹进行,该轨迹会迅速将粒子分布与具有“各向异性模糊”点扩散函数 (PSF) 的卷积,导致图像具有各向异性分辨率。. 在这里,我们建议将时间 domine 系统矩阵和 x 空间重建方法结合到正向模型中,其中正向模型的输出是 PSF 模糊的 x 空间重建图像。然后,我们将模糊视为通过 Kaczmarz 迭代解决的逆问题。. 在提出方法优化后,模拟和设备图像的常规分辨率已从 3.5 毫米和 5.25 毫米提高到 1.5 毫米和 3.25 毫米,已达到切向分辨率水平。图像质量的定量指标,如 PSNR 和 SSIM,也得到了极大的提高。. 真实幻影的仿真和成像表明,与单独的 x 空间方法或其他用于去除 PSF 模糊的方法相比,我们的方法提供了更好的各向同性分辨率和图像质量。使用我们提出的方法来优化使用单向笛卡尔轨迹的 x 空间重建图像的质量,将有助于促进 MPI 在未来的临床应用。
