Abstract
Methods, computing devices, and MRI systems that reduce artifacts produced by Maxwell gradient terms in TSE imaging using non-rectilinear trajectories are disclosed. With this technology, a RF excitation pulse is generated to produce transverse magnetization that generates a NMR signal and a series of RF refocusing pulses to produce a corresponding series of NMR spin-echo signals. An original encoding gradient waveform comprising a non-rectilinear trajectory is modified by adjusting a portion of the original encoding gradient waveform or introducing a zero zeroth-moment waveform segment at end(s) of the original encoding gradient waveform. During an interval adjacent to each of the series of RF refocusing pulses a first gradient pulse is generated. At least one of the first gradient pulses is generated according to the modified gradient waveform. An image is constructed from generated digitized samples of the NMR spin-echo signals obtained.

A machine-learning system, for instance neural network, is trained (12) to translate given specifications to a robotic configuration. The network may convert task-specific specifications into one or more configurations of robot modules into a robotic system. The user may enter (67) changes to performance in order for the network to estimate (62) appropriate configurations. The configurations may be converted (64) to estimated performance by another machine-learning system, for instance neural network, allowing modeling (65) of operation relative to the anatomy, such as anatomy based on medical imaging. The configuration satisfying the constraints from the modeling (65) may be assembled (69) and used.

COMPENSATION OF ORGAN DEFORMATION FOR MEDICAL IMAGE REGISTRATION
Systems and methods for medical image registration are provided. A first input medical image and a second input medical image of one or more anatomical objects are received. For each respective anatomical object of the one or more anatomical objects, a region of interest comprising the respective anatomical object is detected in one of the first input medical image or the second input medical image, the region of interest is extracted from the first input medical image and from the second input medical image, and a motion distribution of the respective anatomical object is determined from one of the region of interest extracted from the first input medical image or the region of interest extracted from the second input medical image using a motion model specific to the respective anatomical object. The first input medical image and the second input medical image are registered based on the motion distribution of each respective anatomical object of the one or more anatomical objects to generate a fused image.
The invention relates to an ensemble of at least two X-ray contrast agents (I, K2). The ensemble comprises a first X-ray contrast agent (I) and a second X-ray contrast agent (K2). The second X-ray contrast agent (K2) has an X-ray absorption whose change between at least two different X-ray photon energies (E(1) E(2)) differs significantly from the change of the X-ray absorption of the first X-ray contrast agent (I) between the at least two different X-ray photon energies (E(1), E(2)). The invention also relates to an X-ray imaging method. In addition, the invention relates to an image reconstruction device (40). Furthermore, an X-ray imaging system (50) is disclosed.
The invention relates to an X-ray contrast agent. The X-ray contrast agent (K) has an X-ray absorption the change of which between at least two different X-ray photon energy levels (E(1), E(2)) differs significantly from the change in X-ray absorption of calcium between the at least two different X-ray photon energy levels (E(1), E(2)). The invention also relates to an X-ray imaging method. The invention additionally relates to an image reconstruction device (50). The invention further relates to an X-ray imaging system (60).
