Synopsis

Keywords: Image Reconstruction, Image Reconstruction, water-fat imagingWater-Fat Imaging with only a single acquisition is desirable for its pulse sequence simplicity and scan time efficiency. However, robust reconstruction is more challenging due to limited available information. In this work, it is discovered that some previously unused information can be found by statistical analysis, leading to effective reconstruction of water and fat images. In particular, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) was used to determine the phase error. Well separated water and fat images were subsequently obtained after phase correction.
