Abstract:
An MRI image processing and analysis system may identify instances of structure in MRI flow data, e.g., coherency, derive contours and/or clinical markers based on the identified structures. The system may be remotely located from one or more MRI acquisition systems, and perform: perform error detection and/or correction on MRI data sets (e.g., phase error correction, phase aliasing, signal unwrapping, and/or on other artifacts); segmentation; visualization of flow (e.g., velocity, arterial versus venous flow, shunts) superimposed on anatomical structure, quantification; verification; and/or generation of patient specific 4-D flow protocols. An asynchronous command and imaging pipeline allows remote image processing and analysis in a timely and secure manner even with complicated or large 4-D flow MRI data sets.

Claim (Index 19):
A processor-based device, comprising:\n at least one nontransitory processor-readable storage medium storing at least one of instructions or data; and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one nontransitory processor-readable storage medium, in operation, the at least one processor:\n for a plurality of voxels of an MRI image data set, groups the voxels into a number of bins; \n reduces the number of bins; \n for a first and a second one of the bins, determines which of the first or the second ones of the bins includes voxels representative of arterial blood flow and which of the first or second one of the bins includes voxels representative of venous blood flow; and \n assigns a first set of colors to the voxels representative of arterial blood flow and assigning a second set of colors to the voxels representative of venous blood flow, the second set of colors different than the first set of colors.
