This study presents a novel numerical technique to correct geometric image distortion in MRI caused by gradient coil non-linearity. The method effectively restores precise geometric information, crucial for applications like cardiac analysis and device guidance.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Gradient coil non-linearity in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) causes geometric image distortion.
  • Precise geometric information is critical for applications like cardiac function analysis and interventional device tracking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a general, efficient numerical technique for parameterizing and correcting global image distortion in MRI.
  • To enable accurate image restoration as a post-imaging processing step.

Main Methods:

  • A global distortion coordinate mapping function was systematically defined from the 3D gradient field non-linearity of a bi-planar gradient coil.
  • Image correction involved mapping pixels to their distorted counterparts and using bi-linear interpolation for intensity values.

Main Results:

  • The developed method significantly reduced image geometric distortion, demonstrating robustness.
  • Magnetic field non-linearity and image distortion were adequately parameterized using Taylor series expansion based on design parameters.

Conclusions:

  • The numerical technique provides an efficient and effective solution for correcting MRI geometric distortion.
  • The method is practical for 3D correction across various image orientations due to a compact parameterized field expression.
