Analyzing Data Incompleteness for MRI Data for Quality Enhancement

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful medical imaging technique widely used for diagnosing various conditions because it provides detailed images of internal structures within the body. However, like any imaging modality, MRI images can be susceptible to artifacts that may arise from various sources, including hardware imperfections, patient motion, and image acquisition techniques. Detecting and mitigating these artifacts are crucial steps in ensuring MRI scans’ reliability and clinical utility. In this paper, we present algorithms specifically designed to address the challenges of undersampling and motion artifacts in MR images. Our approach involves leveraging advanced image processing techniques, including line detection algorithms for undersampling detection and blur parameter estimation for motion artifact analysis. By accurately identifying and quantifying these artifacts, our algorithms aim to improve MRI data’s overall quality and completeness, ultimately enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient care.
