PREDICTION, SCORING, AND CLASSIFICATION OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE CONTRAST USING CONTRAST SIGNAL SCORING EQUATION

摘要

A magnetic resonance imaging sequence is defined by an imaging protocol and parameter values for a set of parameters of the imaging protocol. A contrast signal score is computed for the magnetic resonance imaging sequence respective to a contrast type to be scored using a scoring equation. A contrast type is determined for the magnetic resonance imaging sequence based on the computed contrast signal score. In one approach, the computing is repeated for a plurality of different contrast types to be scored, and the determining is based on the computed contrast signal scores.
