This study was carried out to explore the diagnostic effect of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on the low-rank matrix (LRM) denoising algorithm under gradient sparse prior for the tibial plateau fracture (TPF) combined with meniscus injury (TPF + MI). In this study, the prior information of the noise-free MRI image block was combined with the self-phase prior, the gradient prior of MRI was introduced to eliminate the ringing effect, and a new MRI image denoising algorithm was constructed, which was compared with the anisotropic diffusion fusion (ADF) algorithm. After that, the LRM denoising algorithm based on gradient sparse prior was applied to the diagnosis of 112 patients with TPF + MI admitted to hospital, and the results were compared with those of the undenoised MRI image. Then, the incidence of patients with all kinds of different meniscus injury parting was observed. A total of 66 cases (58.93%) of meniscus tears (MT) were found, including 56 cases (50.00%) of lateral meniscus (LM), 10 cases (8.93%) of medial meniscus (MM), 16 cases (14.29%) of meniscus contusion (MC), and 18 cases (16.07%) of meniscus degenerative injury (MDI). The incidences of MI in Schatzker subtypes were 0%, 53.33% (24/45), 41.67% (5/12), 76.47% (13/17), 78.94% (15/19), and 23.53% (4/17), showing no statistically significant difference ( P > 0.05 ), but the incidence of MT was 54.46% (61/112), which was greatly higher than that of MC (15.18% (17/112)), and the difference was statistically obvious ( P < 0.05 ). The diagnostic specificity (93.83%) and accuracy (95.33%) of denoised MRI images were dramatically higher than those of undenoised MRI images, which were 78.34% and 71.23%, respectively, showing statistically observable differences ( P < 0.05 ). In short, the algorithm in this study showed better denoising performance with the most retained image information. In addition, denoising MRI images based on the algorithm constructed in this study can improve the diagnostic accuracy of MI.

Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a complication of long bone fractures that often occurs within 72 hours of injury. Early-onset isolated cerebral fat embolism is catastrophic and rarely reported. We herein present a rare case of delayed-onset isolated cerebral FES that developed 10 days after definite fixation of a left tibial plateau fracture. A 70-year-old woman was injured in a traffic accident and diagnosed with a left tibial plateau fracture. However, she developed sudden loss of consciousness (E4V1M1) and quadriplegia 10 days after fracture fixation. Her vital signs showed no respiratory distress. Diagnosis of isolated cerebral FES was made based on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, the findings of which were compatible with the clinical neurological findings. After supportive care and rehabilitation, her consciousness became clear on the second day of admission, and her consciousness changed to E4V5M6. She gradually regained strength in her right limbs but had residual left limb paraplegia. Isolated cerebral FES should always be considered for patients who develop a change in consciousness, even beyond 72 hours after injury. Imaging may not initially show definitive abnormalities. Repeated magnetic resonance imaging should be considered if the initial clinical presentation does not fully meet Gurd’s criteria.

The low-rank matrix recovery (LMR) arises in many fields such as signal and image processing, quantum state tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, system identification and control, and it is generally NP-hard. Recently, Majumdar and Ward [Majumdar, A and RK Ward (2011). An algorithm for sparse MRI reconstruction by Schatten p-norm minimization. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 29, 408–417]. had successfully applied nonconvex Schatten p-minimization relaxation of LMR in magnetic resonance imaging. In this paper, our main aim is to establish RIP theoretical result for exact LMR via nonconvex Schatten p-minimization. Carefully speaking, letting [Formula: see text] be a linear transformation from ℝm×n into ℝs and r be the rank of recovered matrix X ∈ ℝm×n, and if [Formula: see text] satisfies the RIP condition [Formula: see text] for a given positive integer k ∈ {1, 2, …, m – r}, then r-rank matrix can be exactly recovered. In particular, we obtain a uniform bound on restricted isometry constant [Formula: see text] for any p ∈ (0, 1] for LMR via Schatten p-minimization.

This study was to analyze the diagnostic effects of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) based on low-rank matrix denoising (LRMD) algorithm. The LRMD algorithm was adopted for MRI diagnosis and CT diagnosis for comparative analysis. 129 CVD patients were selected as the research objects, 43 cases were diagnosed by CT, 43 cases were diagnosed by MRI under LRMD, and the other 43 cases were diagnosed by CT + MRI. The results showed that the diagnostic compliance rates (DCRs) of CT group in the cerebral hemorrhage (CH), cerebral infarction (CI), and cerebral aneurysm (CA) were 95.1%, 94.7%, and 70%, respectively, while those in the MRI group were 99.01%, 97.71%, and 100%, respectively. Thus, it was obtained that MRI diagnosis was much better than CT diagnosis, and CT + MRI showed the best diagnosis efficacy, showing statistical differences ( P < 0.05 ). The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of MRI diagnosis under the LRMD algorithm were 96.28%, 88.76%, and 90.62%, respectively, which were superior to those of CT diagnosis (92.71%, 84.94%, and 80.71%, respectively). The diagnosis cost per case (DC/C) (799.73 ± 100.02 yuan) and the total diagnosis cost (TDC) (58,521.67 ± 301.62 yuan) in the MRI group were higher than those in the CT group (601.42 ± 83.61 yuan and 39,819.2 ± 198.72, respectively) ( P < 0.05 ). In conclusion, CT + MRI under the LRMD algorithm showed good potential in diagnosis of CVD; MRI based on the LRMD algorithm showed a higher positive rate in the diagnosis of CA and was better than CT diagnosis, and CT + MRI showed the best diagnosis effect and could improve the clinical diagnosis rate.

This study was to explore the effect of a low-rank matrix denoising (LRMD) algorithm based on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of patients with cerebral aneurysm and to evaluate the practical value of the LRMD algorithm in the clinical diagnosis of cerebral aneurysm. In this study, the intracranial MRI data of 40 patients with cerebral aneurysm were selected to study the denoising effect of the low-rank matrix denoising algorithm based on the Gaussian mixture model on MRI images of cerebral aneurysm under the influence of Rice noise, to evaluate the PSNR value, SSIM value, and clarity of MRI images before and after denoising. The diagnostic accuracy of MRI images of cerebral aneurysms before and after denoising was compared. The results showed that after the low-rank matrix denoising algorithm based on the Gaussian mixture model, the PSNR, SSIM, and sharpness values of intracranial MRI images of 10 patients were significantly improved ( P < 0.05 ), and the diagnostic accuracy of MRI images of cerebral aneurysm increased from 76.2 ± 5.6 % to 93.1 ± 7.9 % , which could diagnose cerebral aneurysm more accurately and quickly. In conclusion, the MRI images processed based on the low-rank matrix denoising algorithm under the Gaussian mixture model can effectively remove the interference of noise, improve the quality of MRI images, optimize the accuracy of MRI image diagnosis of patients with cerebral aneurysm, and shorten the average diagnosis time, which is worth promoting in the clinical diagnosis of patients with cerebral aneurysm.
