We introduce a novel bandlimited manifold framework and an algorithm to recover freebreathing and ungated cardiac MR images from highly undersampled measurements. The image frames in the free breathing and ungated dataset are assumed to be points on a bandlimited manifold. We introduce a novel kernel low-rank algorithm to estimate the manifold structure (Laplacian) from a navigator-based acquisition scheme. The structure of the manifold is then used to recover the images from highly undersampled measurements. A computationally efficient algorithm, which relies on the bandlimited approximation of the Laplacian matrix, is used to recover the images. The proposed scheme is demonstrated on several patients with different breathing patterns and cardiac rates, without requiring the need for manually tuning the reconstruction parameters in each case. The proposed scheme enabled the recovery of free-breathing and ungated data, providing reconstructions that are qualitatively similar to breath-held scans performed on the same patients. This shows the potential of the technique as a clinical protocol for free-breathing cardiac scans.
We introduce a model-based reconstruction framework with deep learned (DL) and smoothness regularization on manifolds (STORM) priors to recover free breathing and ungated (FBU) cardiac MRI from highly undersampled measurements. The DL priors enable us to exploit the local correlations, while the STORM prior enables us to make use of the extensive non-local similarities that are subject dependent. We introduce a novel model-based formulation that allows the seamless integration of deep learning methods with available prior information, which current deep learning algorithms are not capable of. …

To develop an efficient motion-compensated reconstruction technique for free-breathing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that allows high-quality images to be reconstructed from multiple undersampled single-shot acquisitions. The proposed method is a joint image reconstruction and motion correction method consisting of several steps, including a non-rigid motion extraction and a motion-compensated reconstruction. The reconstruction includes a denoising with the Beltrami regularization, which offers an ideal compromise between feature preservation and staircasing reduction. Results were …
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a noninvasive imaging modality that provides a comprehensive evaluation of the cardiovascular system. The clinical utility of CMR is hampered by long acquisition times, however. In this work, we propose and validate a plug-and-play (PnP) method for CMR reconstruction from undersampled multi-coil data. To fully exploit the rich image structure inherent in CMR, we pair the PnP framework with a deep learning (DL)-based denoiser that is trained using spatiotemporal patches from high-quality, breath-held cardiac cine images. The resulting "PnP-DL" method …

Temporal patterns of cardiac motion provide important information for cardiac disease diagnosis. This pattern could be obtained by three-directional CINE multi-slice left ventricular myocardial velocity mapping (3Dir MVM), which is a cardiac MR technique providing magnitude and phase information of the myocardial motion simultaneously. However, long acquisition time limits the usage of this technique by causing breathing artifacts, while shortening the time causes low temporal resolution and may provide an inaccurate assessment of cardiac motion. In this study, we proposed a frame synthesis al…

Free-breathing cardiac MRI schemes are emerging as competitive alternatives to breath-held cine MRI protocols, enabling applicability to pediatric and other population groups that cannot hold their breath. Because the data from the slices are acquired sequentially, the cardiac/respiratory motion patterns may be different for each slice; current free-breathing approaches perform independent recovery of each slice. In addition to not being able to exploit the inter-slice redundancies, manual intervention or sophisticated post-processing methods are needed to align the images post-recovery for qu…

We propose a novel deformation corrected compressed sensing (DC-CS) framework to recover dynamic magnetic resonance images from undersampled measurements. We introduce a generalized formulation that is capable of handling a wide class of sparsity/compactness priors on the deformation corrected dynamic signal. In this work, we consider example compactness priors such as sparsity in temporal Fourier domain, sparsity in temporal finite difference domain, and nuclear norm penalty to exploit low rank structure. Using variable splitting, we decouple the complex optimization problem to simpler and we…
Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides time-resolved quantification of blood flow dynamics that can aid clinical diagnosis. Long in vivo scan times due to repeated three-dimensional (3D) volume sampling over cardiac phases and breathing cycles necessitate accelerated imaging techniques that leverage data correlations. Standard compressed sensing reconstruction methods require tuning of hyperparameters and are computationally expensive, which diminishes the potential reduction of examination times. We propose an efficient model-based deep neural reconstruction network and eval…

We introduce a framework for the recovery of points on a smooth surface in high-dimensional space, with application to dynamic imaging. We assume the surface to be the zero-level set of a bandlimited function. We show that the exponential maps of the points on the surface satisfy annihilation relations, implying that they lie in a finite dimensional subspace. We rely on nuclear norm minimization of the maps to recover the points from noisy and undersampled measurements. Since this direct approach suffers from the curse of dimensionality, we introduce an iterative reweighted algorithm that uses…

Our aim was to enhance visual quality and quantitative accuracy of dynamic positron emission tomography (PET)uptake images by improved image reconstruction, using sophisticated sparse penalty models that incorporate both 2D spatial+1D temporal (3DT) information. We developed two new 3DT PET reconstruction algorithms, incorporating different temporal and spatial penalties based on discrete cosine transform (DCT)w/ patches, and tensor nuclear norm (TNN) w/ patches, and compared to frame-by-frame methods; conventional 2D ordered subsets expectation maximization (OSEM) w/ post-filtering and 2D-DCT…

In vivo diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising technique to investigate noninvasively the fiber structures of the in vivo human heart. However, signal loss due to motions remains a persistent problem in in vivo cardiac DTI. We propose a novel motion-compensation method for investigating in vivo myocardium structures in DTI with free-breathing acquisitions. The method is based on an invertible Wavelet Scattering achieved by means of Convolutional Neural Network (WSCNN). It consists of first extracting translation-invariant wavelet scattering features from DW images acquired at different …
