SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DOUBLE-PULSED DIFFUSIONAL KURTOSIS IMAGING

摘要

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system that can perform double pulsed diffusional kurtosis imaging (DP-DKI). Image data can be received. The image data can be acquired using a double pulsed field gradient (d-PFG) diffusion sequence. A six dimensional (6D) diffusional kurtosis for the image data can be determined. A magnitude of the image data can be determined in terms of the 6D diffusional kurtosis. DP-DKI can isolate the contributions to the d-PFG diffusion sequence, which can represent leading diffusion effects, that cannot be seen from single pulsed field gradient (s-PFG) diffusion sequences.

1. A system that performs double pulsed diffusional kurtosis imaging (DP-DKI), the system comprising:
a non-transitory memory storing computer-executable instructions; and a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions to at least: receive image data, wherein the image data was acquired using a double pulsed field gradient (d-PFG) diffusion sequence; determine a six dimensional (6D) diffusional kurtosis for the image data; and determine a magnitude of the image data based on the 6D diffusional kurtosis.
