Abstract:
PURPOSE: A system and a method thereof are provided to accurately measure a cerebral blood flow and a brain oxygen metabolic rate without hypercapnia by using optimized model parameters. CONSTITUTION: A signal input part(101) simultaneously receives a BOLD(Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent) signal and a near infrared ray spectrum signal. A correlation coefficient calculation part(102) calculates a correlation coefficient between a cerebral blood flow and a brain oxygen metabolic rate by using the BOLD signal and the near infrared ray spectrum signal. A blood flow measuring part(104) measures the cerebral blood flow from the near infrared ray spectrum signal. A oxygen metabolic rate measuring part(105) measures the brain oxygen metabolic rate by using the correlation coefficient and the cerebral blood flow.
Abstract:
A method for restoring a high-resolution image is provided to perform a restoring process of the image while reducing the overload of a system, by applying an FOCUSS(Focal Underdetermined System Solver) algorithm to a down-sampled image having a low resolution. Data having a sparse characteristic are output(S10). The outputted data is down-sampled, and the down-sampled data are converted into a low-resolution image(S20). The converted image is restored to a high-resolution image by using an FOCUSS algorithm(S30). If the data are projection data obtained by magnetic resonance imaging and radial type data, the low-resolution image is converted through inverse radon transformation.
