    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a device for magnetic resonance chemical shift encoding imaging are provided. The method includes in a phasor-error spectrum established based on a simplified multi-point magnetic resonance signal model, determining a pixel point having a unique phase factor value and causing the phasor-error spectrum to reach a local minimum value as an initial seed point; estimating a phase factor value of a pixel point to be estimated according to the initial seed point to obtain a field map; mapping and merging the field maps at the highest resolution to obtain a reconstructed field map; determining a reconstructed seed point from the reconstructed field map, and estimating the reconstructed seed point to obtain a phase factor value of a reconstructed pixel point to be estimated.

    Abstract: Provided are a magnetic resonance chemical-shift-encoded imaging method, apparatus, and device, belonging to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging. The method comprises: in a phasor-error plot established on the basis of a two-point magnetic resonance signal model, determining to be an initial seed point a pixel having a unique phasor and causing said plot to reach a minimal local value; according to the initial seed point, estimating the phasor value of a to-be-estimated pixel to obtain a field map; mapping and merging the field map at the highest resolution to obtain a reconstructed field map; determining a reconstructed seed point from the reconstructed field map, and estimating the reconstructed seed point to obtain the phasor value of the reconstructed to-be-estimated pixel; according to the reconstructed seed point and the phasor value of the reconstructed to-be-estimated pixel, obtaining two separate images having predetermined components. In the method, a region simultaneously containing two components is identified as a seed point, eliminating the deviation caused by phasor-value jump at high resolution and ensuring the correctness of the seed point ultimately selected.

    Abstract: An eddy-current correction method and apparatus, a mobile terminal and a readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: step S1: reading gradient-recalled echo sequence by means of bipolarity, so as to acquire a multi-echo image; step S2: estimating a first-order term coefficient of an extra phase term introduced by an eddy-current in the acquired multi-echo image; step S3: removing the estimated first-order term coefficient, and estimating a zero-order term coefficient of the extra phase term introduced by the eddy-current in the collected multi-echo image; step S4: removing, according to the estimated first-order term coefficient and the zero-order term coefficient, an error of the extra phase term introduced by the eddy-current. The eddy-current correction method removes the phase error caused by the eddy-current in the acquired image, thereby ensuring the correctness of the subsequent water-fat separation algorithm result.

    Abstract: A temperature measuring method and apparatus based on creatine chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging. The method comprises the following steps: (1) performing creatine CEST imaging on a creatine phantom, and analyzing a chemical shift of creatine relative to water in the creatine phantom; (2) fitting a mathematical relation between the chemical shift of the creatine relative to water and the temperature; and (3) performing CEST imaging on creatine in a sample, and calculating the temperature according to the mathematical relation, fitted in step (2), between the chemical shift of the creatine relative to water and the temperature. In the temperature measuring method, the creatine is taken as an endogenous reference, and highly-spatial-resolution, highly-sensitive, and non-invasive absolute temperature measurement can be implemented by means of temperature dependence of a CEST effect of Cr and water.
