    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biophysics
    • Neuroimaging

    Background:

    • Conventional gradient-echo myelin water imaging (GRE-MWI) relies on model-based fitting of multi-echo gradient recalled echo (mGRE) signals.
    • This model-based approach is susceptible to imaging artifacts and noise, leading to inaccurate myelin water fraction (MWF) parameter estimation.
    • Deviations from pre-assumed numerical models in mGRE signal complicate precise MWF quantification.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a blind source separation (BSS) technique as an alternative to model-based GRE-MWI for improved mGRE signal analysis.
    • To develop a robust method for separating multi-exponential signal components and artifacts from mGRE data.
    • To enhance the accuracy and reliability of myelin water fraction (MWF) mapping in MRI.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified robust principal component analysis (rPCA) was employed as a BSS technique to separate signal sources.
    • Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and hankelization were used to enforce low rankness of exponential decay, reflecting T2∗ relaxation.
    • The method separates fast-decaying, slow-decaying exponential components, and artifact components from mGRE images.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed BSS method successfully separated signal components and artifacts from mGRE data.
    • Myelin water fraction (MWF) maps were reconstructed by calculating the ratio of the fast-decaying component to total decaying components.
    • The method demonstrated robust MWF estimation in the presence of statistical noise and imaging artifacts, validated through simulations and in vivo scans.

    Conclusions:

    • Blind source separation offers a promising alternative to conventional model-based methods for GRE-MWI.
    • The developed rPCA-based technique effectively isolates myelin water signals, improving MWF quantification accuracy.
    • This approach enhances the robustness of MWF estimation, particularly in challenging imaging conditions with artifacts and noise.
