본 논문에서는 무인항공기인 방송용 멀티콥터를 이용한 Full-HD급 이상 화질의 이미지를 효율적으로 전송하기 위해 이미지 압축 센싱 기법을 적용하고, Sparse 신호의 효율적 복원을 위해 Turbo 알고리즘과 Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) 알고리즘의 복원 성능을 모의실험을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 제안된 복원 기법은 압축 센싱에 기반하여 데이터 용량을 줄이고 빠르고 오류 없는 원신호 복원에 중점을 두었다. 다수의 이미지 파일로 모의실험을 진행한 결과 Loopy belief propagation(BP) 기반의 Turbo 복원 알고리즘이 Gibbs sampling기반 알고리즘을 수행하는 MCMC 알고리즘 보다 평균 복원 연산 시간, NMSE 값에서 우수하여 보다 효율적인 복원 방법으로 생각된다.

Purpose: To develop a 3D magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) method for application in high resolution knee cartilage PD, T₁, T₂ mapping. Materials and Methods: A novel 3D acquisition trajectory with golden-angle rotating radial in k_xy direction and interleaved echo planar imaging (EPI) acquisition in the k_z direction was implemented in the MRF framework. A centric order was applied to the interleaved EPI acquisition to reduce Nyquist ghosting artifact due to field inhomogeneity. For the reconstruction, singular value decomposition (SVD) compression method was used to accelerate reconstruction time and conjugate gradient sensitivity-encoding (CG-SENSE) was performed to overcome low SNR of the high resolution data. Phantom experiments were performed to verify the proposed method. In vivo experiments were performed on 6 healthy volunteers and 2 early osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Results: In the phantom experiments, the T₁ and T₂ values of the proposed method were in good agreement with the spin-echo references. The results from the in vivo scans showed high quality proton density (PD), T₁, T₂ map with EPI echo train length (N_ETL = 4), acceleration factor in through plane (R_z = 5), and number of radial spokes (N_spk = 4). In patients, high T₂ values (50-60 ms) were seen in all transverse, sagittal, and coronal views and the damaged cartilage regions were in agreement with the hyper-intensity regions shown on conventional turbo spin-echo (TSE) images. Conclusion: The proposed 3D MRF method can acquire high resolution (0.5 mm³) quantitative maps in practical scan time (~ 7 min and 10 sec) with full coverage of the knee (FOV: 160 × 160 × 120 mm³).
