    Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging method includes generating spatially resolved fiber orientation distributions (FODs) from magnetic resonance signals acquired from a patient tissue using a plurality of diffusion encodings, each acquired magnetic resonance signal corresponding to one of the diffusion encodings and being representative of a three-dimensional distribution of displacement of magnetic spins of gyromagnetic nuclei present in each imaging voxel. Generating the spatially resolved FODs includes performing generalized spherical deconvolution using the acquired magnetic resonance signals and a modeled tissue response matrix (TRM) to reconstruct the spatially resolved FODs. The method also includes using the spatially resolved FODs to generate a representation of fibrous tissue within the patient tissue.

    Abstract: A magnetic resonance (MR) imaging method includes acquiring MR signals having phase and magnitude at q-space locations using a diffusion sensitizing pulse sequence performed on a tissue of interest, wherein the acquired signals each include a set of complex Fourier encodings representing a three-dimensional displacement distribution of the spins in a q-space location. The signals each include information relating to coherent motion and incoherent motion in the q-space location. The method also includes determining a contribution by coherent motion to the phase of the acquired MR signals; removing the phase contribution attributable to coherent motion from the acquired MR signals to produce a complex data set for each q-space location and an image of velocity components for each q-space location; and producing a three-dimensional velocity image from the image of the velocity components.

    Abstract: The subject matter discussed herein relates to a fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method to suppress fine-line artifact in Fast-Spin-Echo (FSE) images reconstructed with a deep-learning network. The network is trained using fully sampled NEX=2 (Number of Excitations equals to 2) data. In each case, the two excitations are combined to generate fully sampled ground-truth images with no fine-line artifact, which are used for comparison with the network generated image in the loss function. However, only one of the excitations is retrospectively undersampled and inputted into the network during training. In this way, the network learns to remove both undersampling and fine-line artifacts. At inferencing, only NEX=1 undersampled data are acquired and reconstructed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a magnetic resonance (MR) image of a tissue are provided. A method includes acquiring MR raw data. The MR raw data corresponds to MR signals obtained at undersampled q-space locations for a plurality of q-space locations that is less than an entirety of the q-space locations and the MR signals at the q-space locations represent the three dimensional displacement distribution of the spins in the imaging voxel. The method also includes performing a joint image reconstruction technique on the MR raw data to exploit structural correlations in the MR signals to obtain a series of accelerated MR images and performing, for each image pixel in each accelerated MR image of the series of accelerated MR images, a compressed sensing reconstruction technique to exploit q-space signal sparsity to identify a plurality of diffusion maps.

    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for tracking a moving object using magnetic resonance imaging. The technique includes acquiring a scout image scan having a number of image frames and extracting non-linear motion parameters from the number of image frames of the scout image scan. The technique includes prospectively shifting slice location using the non-linear motion parameters between slice locations while acquiring a series of MR images. The system and method are particularly useful in tracking coronary artery movement during the cardiac cycle to acquire the non-linear components of coronary artery movement during a diastolic portion of the R-R interval.
