Using an MRI distortion transfer function to characterize the ghosts in motion-corrupted images
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Motion artefact suppression remains an active topic in MRI. In this paper, we suggest that certain nonrigid, or spatially variant, characteristics of motion of an object can be represented by extending the work of Mitsa et al. This empirical extension uses a ghost distortion transfer function (GTDF) applied to the k-space (frequency domain) data. We demonstrate the variety of ghost characteristics that can be generated from various two-dimensional (2-D) GTDF's. The distortion transfer function for periodic motion along the Z-axis can be determined from the nonoverlapped portions of the ghost and central image. It required a GDTF with the shape of a belt bandpass filter to produce an image corresponding to the ghosts of a volunteer's abdomen image corrupted by unknown respiratory motion artefacts. The preliminary results of a composite method of motion artefact suppression are presented. The artefact suppression was successful for ghost images described by a GDTF have a low-pass nature, but less successful with ghosts have a GDTF of a bandpass nature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
