Abstract
Methods and systems are described herein for hemodynamic parameter estimation. In certain embodiments, a set of perfusion data is acquired for a region of interest using an imaging system. An artery signal is obtained from the set of perfusion data. A tissue signal is obtained from the set of perfusion data. The artery signal and the tissue signal are provided as inputs to one or more neural networks to determine one or more hemodynamic parameters for the region of interest. The one or more neural networks are trained using one or more synthetic data.

A method, comprising:
- acquiring a set of perfusion data for a region of interest using an imaging system;
- obtaining an artery signal from the set of perfusion data;
- obtaining a tissue signal from the set of perfusion data;
- and
- providing the artery signal and the tissue signal to serve as inputs to one or more neural networks to determine one or more hemodynamic parameters for the region of interest, wherein the one or more neural networks are trained using modified synthetic tissue data generated based on one or more synthetic data modified or combined with one or more clinical perfusion data, wherein training the one or more neural networks comprises:
- generating a set of synthetic residual impulse functions for the region of interest based on a defined ground truth model;
- obtaining a training artery signal from a training set of perfusion data;
- generating a modified synthetic tissue signal based on the set of synthetic residual impulse functions and the training artery signal;
- and
- training the one or more neural networks using a signal generated using the modified synthetic tissue signal and the training artery signal, wherein a loss is used as a bias for training the one or more neural networks, and wherein the loss is determined based on a comparison of an estimated residual impulse function output from the one or more neural networks and a first set of parameters derived from the estimated residual impulse function with the set of synthetic residual impulse functions and a second set of parameters derived from the set of synthetic residual impulse functions.
