发明名称 Synthetic aperture MRI
摘要 The present invention relates to a method and system for enhancing resolution of a magnetic resonance image of an object. The method combines information from a plurality of low-resolution images with a Field Of View shifted by a distance less than a pixel width to create a synthesized image having substantially improved image quality. Information from the low-resolution images is merged and application of an aperture function enhances the SNR of the synthesized image resulting in synthesized images having a substantially higher spatial resolution as well as a substantially increased SNR. The method and system for enhancing resolution of a magnetic resonance image is highly beneficial for a MRI practitioner by substantially improving image quality, thus facilitating diagnostic methods such as texture analysis and disease specific tissue segmentation.
