Abstract
A method for acquiring (1) experimental measures with interferences of a physical phenomenon, and for reconstructing (2) a point-by-point signal (3) representative of the phenomenon according to at least one dimension that can vary during the experimental measure acquisition, using at least one simulation model (4) of at least one acquisition chain of the experimental measures including at least one interference, and at least one model (8) of each interference in each acquisition chain, each interference model being determined at least from the measures themselves, wherein the simulation and interference models include adjustable parameters (6, 10) depending on experimental conditions, wherein at least one adjustable parameter of one of the models is coupled to at least one adjustable parameter of the other model, and in that the adjustable parameters are optimized in a coupled manner. A device for MRI imaging, NMR, or medical imaging using such a method is described.

42. Method for acquiring (1) experimental measurements distorted by a physical phenomenon and for reconstructing (2) a signal (3) representing this physical phenomenon, implementing:
-
at least one acquisition chain of said experimental measurements, called measurements of primary interest, said acquisition chain comprising at least one distortion, at least one model (4) simulating said acquisition chain, said simulation model (4) receiving a reconstructed signal (6) as input and providing simulated experimental data (7) as output, and at least one distortion model (8) of said distortion of said acquisition chain, said distortion model (8) being determined at least from the experimental measurements themselves, wherein; said simulation (4) and distortion (8) models comprise adjustable parameters (6,10) dependent on the experimental measurements, said simulation (4) and distortion (8) models are coupled in the sense that the simulation model (4) depends (5) on at least one adjustable parameter (10) of the distortion model (8), and said adjustable parameters (6,10) are optimized (2) jointly, said optimization providing the signal (3) and the parameters (15) of the distortion model as output. - View Dependent Claims (43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76)
