Algorithm 1: System execution procedure.
Result:
Spliced k-space data with enhanced SNR
Input:
Init: Start GRE sequence scanning and configure the RG parameters as τ, τ − 6, and τ − 12 dB;
Step 1:
Obtain 3 sets of k-space data:
Kτ obtained under RG = τ,
Kτ−6 obtained under RG = τ − 6,
Kτ−12 obtained under RG = τ − 12;
Step 2:
Correct the gain difference and phase difference for Kτ and Kτ−6,
Correct the gain difference and phase difference for Kτ−6 and Kτ−12,
Calculate the gain difference and phase difference for Kτ and Kτ−12;
Step 3:
Extract Kτ1, Kτ−62, and Kτ−123 from Kτ, Kτ−6, and Kτ−12, respectively to obtain a set of spliced k-space data.
Step 4:
Compensate for the gain difference between Kτ1, Kτ−62, and Kτ−123;
Step 5:
Obtain image data by Fourier transform of the spliced k-space data.
Output:
SNR of the image obtained by Fourier transform of the spliced k-space data
