    摘要: For medical imaging such as MRI, machine training is used to train a network for segmentation using both the imaging data and protocol data (e.g., meta-data). The network is trained to segment based, in part, on the configuration and/or scanner, not just the imaging data, allowing the trained network to adapt to the way each image is acquired. In one embodiment, the network architecture includes one or more blocks that receive both types of data as input and output both types of data, preserving relevant features for adaptation through at least part of the trained network.

    摘要: A correspondence between a source image and a reference image is determined. A generative model corresponds to a prior probability distribution of deformation fields, each deformation field corresponding to a respective co-ordinate transformation. A conditional model generates a style transfer probability distribution of reference images, given a source image and a deformation field. The first image data is the source image, and the second image data is the reference image. An initial first deformation field is determined. An update process is iteratively performed until convergence to update the first deformation field, to generate a converged deformation field representing the correspondence between the source image and the reference image. The update process includes: determining a change in one or more characteristics of the first deformation field to increase a posterior probability density associated with the first deformation field, given the source image and reference image; and changing the one or more characteristics in accordance with the determined change.

    摘要: A method for performing Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction includes acquiring a sparse measurement matrix using a CT scanner and applying a reconstruction process over a number of iterations to reconstruct image data from the sparse measurement matrix. The reconstruction process performed during each respective iteration includes generating a random view subset and determining a portion of the sparse measurement matrix corresponding to the random view subset. The reconstruction process further includes performing a stochastic gradient descent on the portion of the sparse measurement matrix to yield an image, applying a proximal total variation regularization to the image, and adjusting a step size associated with the stochastic gradient descent.

    摘要: Deep reinforcement machine learning is used to control denoising (e.g., image regularizer) in iterative reconstruction for MRI compressed sensing. Rather than requiring different machine-learnt networks for different scan settings (e.g., acceleration of the MR compressed sensing), reinforcement learning creates a policy of actions to provide denoising and data fitting through iterations of the reconstruction given a range of different scan settings. This allows a user to scan as appropriate for the patient, the MR system, the application, and/or preferences while still providing an optimized reconstruction under sampling resulting from the MR compressed sensing.
