A Novel Method for Magnetic Resonance Ocular Imaging Using Super-Resolution Reconstruction

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive intraocular tumor detection method without ionizing radiation. However, resolution limitation and motion artifacts are difficult to overcome in the imaging process. Conventional scanning methods inevitably introduce motion artifacts, or require the s...

description Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive intraocular tumor detection method without ionizing radiation. However, resolution limitation and motion artifacts are difficult to overcome in the imaging process. Conventional scanning methods inevitably introduce motion artifacts, or require the subjects to cooperate for accurate eye fixation, increasing the difficulty of imaging and giving the subject uncomfortable experiences. In this work, a new MRI method based on super-resolution theory is proposed, which uses a specialized orbit coil to scan a series of dynamic images of the eyeball, such that the acquisition resolution in different directions is complementary. High-resolution eyeball images with minimal motion artifacts could then be obtained after pre-processing, registration, super-resolution reconstruction and other operations. The study showed that the method proposed can be used to obtain clear eyeball images without the requirement of eye fixation.
