Development of Protocols and Methods for Image Processing and Enhancement of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Data.

April 4, 2022 updated by: Medic Vision Imaging Solutions Ltd

The purpose of the study is to develop new methods for image processing and enhancement of MRI data. Different setting of acquisition parameters used in conventional clinical MRI protocols will be defined, to create "New Protocols".

The specific aim of this study is to assess and to improve the performance of our image processing methods, by comparing diagnostic qualities of images obtained by conventional MRI protocols with those obtained by corresponding New Protocols' and processed by our image enhancement method.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Image Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Comparing the SNR of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent).
Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Image Resolution
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Comparing the resolution of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent).
Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
MRI contrast
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Comparing MR contrast of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent).
Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Artifacts
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Comparing artifacts of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent).
Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Diagnostic quality
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
Comparing diagnostic quality of images obtained by conventional protocols with the corresponding New Protocols' processed images. The comparison will be performed by neuroradiologists, using a 7-point Likert-scale. Where higher the score, better the outcome (1 means unacceptable and 7 means excellent).
Through study completion, an average of 2 months.
