Patent ID: 11105876

Abstract:
A system and method generate a synthetic image with switchable image contrast components for a biological object. The method includes: a) using first and second quantitative MRI acquisition techniques for measuring a value of first or second quantitative parameters Q1, Q2 for the biological object and generating first and second quantitative maps, the first and second quantitative MRI acquisition techniques generate first and second contrast-weighted images; b) using the first and second quantitative maps, and the first and second contrast weighted images as inputs in a model configured for generating a synthetic image M with arbitrary sequence parameters P1, P2, P3, according to: M=|Cif(Q1,Q2,P1,P2,P3)| wherein Ci with i=1, 2, are contrast components for the generation of the synthetic image M coming from respectively the first (i=1) and second (i=2) contrast-weighted images (i=1) and f is a function of Q1, Q2, P1, P2 and P3; and c) displaying the synthetic image M.
