Systems and methods for image processing
The present disclosure provides a system and method for image processing. The method may include obtaining multiple projection images of a subject acquired by an imaging device from multiple view angles; generating an initial slice image of the subject by image reconstruction based on the multiple projection images; determining, based on the multiple projection images, a target out-of-plane artifact of the initial slice image; and generating a corrected slice image by correcting the initial slice image with respect to the target out-of-plane artifact.

Autocalibrated multi-shot magnetic resonance image reconstruction with joint optimization of shot-dependent phase and parallel image reconstruction
Images are reconstructed from k-space acquired with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system using a multi-shot pulse sequence. In each iteration, a phase-aware image reconstruction, a data-consistency update across all shots or subsets of data, and a relative phase estimation across the reconstructed images for each shot are performed. In this way, the reconstruction framework recasts the problem as an iterative relative phase estimation problem, which allows for the use relative phase estimation techniques. Through an iterative search, an artifact-free combined image and the smooth relative phase between each shot in the multi-shot k-space data can be jointly estimated.
