Abstract

The author proposes an automatic estimation method for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the metabolites in the living body by magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) without human intervention or complicated calculations. In the method, the problem of NMR spectrum estimation is transformed into the estimation of the parameters of a mathematical model of the NMR signal. To estimate these parameters, Morita designed a complex- valued Hopfield neural network, noting that NMR signals are essentially complex-valued. In addition, we devised a technique called sequential extension of section (SES) that takes into account the decay state of the NMR signal. Morita evaluated the performance of his method using simulations and shows that the estimation precision on the spectrum improves when SES is used in combination the neural network, and that SES has an ability to avoid the local minimum solution on Hopfield neural networks.
