Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is mainly limited by long scanning time and vulnerable to human tissue motion artifacts, in 3D clinical scenarios. Thus, k-space undersampling is used to accelerate the acquisition of MRI while leading to visually poor MR images. Recently, some studies 1) use effective undersampling patterns, or 2) design deep neural networks to improve the quality of resulting images. However, they are considered as two separate optimization strategies. In this paper, we propose a cross-domain network for MR image reconstruction, in a retrospective data-driven manner, under limited sampling rates. Our method can simultaneously obtain the optimal undersampling pattern (in k-space) and the reconstruction model, which are customized to the type of training data, by using an end-to-end learning strategy. We propose a 1D probabilistic undersampling layer, to obtain the optimal undersampling pattern and its probability distribution in a differentiable way. We propose a 1D inverse Fourier transform layer, which connects the Fourier domain and the image domain during the forward pass and the backpropagation. In addition, by training 3D fully-sampled k-space data and MR images with the traditional Euclidean loss, we discover the universal relationship between the probability distribution of the optimal undersampling pattern and its corresponding sampling rate. Experiments show that the quantitative and qualitative results of recovered MR images by our 1D probabilistic undersampling pattern obviously outperform those of several existing sampling strategies.
There is much recent interest in techniques to accelerate the data acquisition process in MRI by acquiring limited measurements. Often sophisticated reconstruction algorithms are deployed to maintain high image quality in such settings. In this work, we propose a data-driven sampler using a convolutional neural network, MNet, to provide object-specific sampling patterns adaptive to each scanned object. The network observes very limited low-frequency k-space data for each object and rapidly predicts the desired undersampling pattern in one go that achieves high image reconstruction quality. We …
Parallel imaging with linear predictability takes advantage of information present in multiple receive coils to accurately reconstruct the image with fewer samples. Commonly used algorithms based on linear predictability include GRAPPA and SPIRiT. We present a sufficient condition for reconstruction based on the direction of undersampling and the arrangement of the sensing coils. This condition is justified theoretically and examples are shown using real data. We also propose a metric based on the fully-sampled auto-calibration region which can show which direction(s) of undersampling will all…

The inherent slow imaging speed of Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) has spurred the development of various acceleration methods, typically through heuristically undersampling the MRI measurement domain known as k-space. Recently, deep neural networks have been applied to reconstruct undersampled k-space data and have shown improved reconstruction performance. While most of these methods focus on designing novel reconstruction networks or new training strategies for a given undersampling pattern, e.g., Cartesian undersampling or Non-Cartesian sampling, to date, there is limited research aiming to…

Deep learning holds great promise in the reconstruction of undersampled Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data, providing new opportunities to escalate the performance of rapid MRI. In existing deep learning-based reconstruction methods, supervised training is performed using artifact-free reference images and their corresponding undersampled pairs. The undersampled images are generated by a fixed undersampling pattern in the training, and the trained network is then applied to reconstruct new images acquired with the same pattern in the inference. While such a training strategy can maintain a …
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered today the golden-standard modality for soft tissues. The long acquisition times, however, make it more prone to motion artifacts as well as contribute to the relatively high costs of this examination. Over the years, multiple studies concentrated on designing reduced measurement schemes and image reconstruction schemes for MRI, however, these problems have been so far addressed separately. On the other hand, recent works in optical computational imaging have demonstrated growing success of the simultaneous learning-based design of the acquisition …

Purpose: To propose a novel deep learning-based method called RG-Net (reconstruction and generation network) for highly accelerated MR parametric mapping by undersampling k-space and reducing the acquired contrast number simultaneously. Methods: The proposed framework consists of a reconstruction module and a generative module. The reconstruction module reconstructs MR images from the acquired few undersampled k-space data with the help of a data prior. The generative module then synthesizes the remaining multi-contrast images from the reconstructed images, where the exponential model is impli…

To accelerate MRI, the field of compressed sensing is traditionally concerned with optimizing the image quality after a partial undersampling of the measurable $\textit{k}$-space. In our work, we propose to change the focus from the quality of the reconstructed image to the quality of the downstream image analysis outcome. Specifically, we propose to optimize the patterns according to how well a sought-after pathology could be detected or localized in the reconstructed images. We find the optimal undersampling patterns in $\textit{k}$-space that maximize target value functions of interest in c…
This study aims to accelerate coronary MRI using a novel reconstruction algorithm, called self-consistent robust artificial-neural-networks for k-space interpolation (sRAKI). sRAKI performs iterative parallel imaging reconstruction by enforcing coil self-consistency using subject-specific neural networks. This approach extends the linear convolutions in SPIRiT to nonlinear interpolation using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These CNNs are trained individually for each scan using the scan-specific autocalibrating signal (ACS) data. Reconstruction is performed by imposing the learned self-…
Purpose: 3D Time-of-flight (TOF) MR Angiography (MRA) can accurately visualize the intracranial vasculature, but is limited by long acquisition times. Compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction can be used to substantially accelerate acquisitions. The quality of those reconstructions depends on the undersampling patterns used in the acquisitions. In this work, optimized sets of undersampling parameters using various acceleration factors for Cartesian 3D TOF-MRA are established. Methods: Fully-sampled datasets acquired at 7T were retrospectively undersampled using variable-density Poisson-disk samp…
Multi-contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) acquisitions from a single scan have tremendous potential to streamline exams and reduce imaging time. However, maintaining clinically feasible scan time necessitates significant undersampling, pushing the limits on compressed sensing and other low-dimensional techniques. During MRI scanning, one of the possible solutions is by using undersampling designs which can effectively improve the acquisition and achieve higher reconstruction accuracy. However, existing undersampling optimization methods are time-consuming and the limited performance prev…

Convolutional Neural network-based MR reconstruction methods have shown to provide fast and high quality reconstructions. A primary drawback with a CNN-based model is that it lacks flexibility and can effectively operate only for a specific acquisition context limiting practical applicability. By acquisition context, we mean a specific combination of three input settings considered namely, the anatomy under study, undersampling mask pattern and acceleration factor for undersampling. The model could be trained jointly on images combining multiple contexts. However the model does not meet the pe…

Novel Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging modalities can quantify hemodynamics but require long acquisition times, precluding its widespread use for early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. To reduce the acquisition times, reconstruction methods from undersampled measurements are routinely used, that leverage representations designed to increase image compressibility. Reconstructed anatomical and hemodynamic images may present visual artifacts. Although some of these artifact are essentially reconstruction errors, and thus a consequence of undersampling, others may be due to measurement noise or…
Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) poses unique challenges related to the speed of data acquisition and to the degree of undersampling necessary to achieve this speed. This Master's thesis introduces and evaluates two pre-processing approaches for these problems: Coil compression to reduce the data volume and a channel selection algorithm to reduce streak artifacts which arise as a consequence of undersampling. Both approaches are tested on real data covering anatomical imaging of the head and of the heart.
Purpose: Undersampling is used to reduce the scan time for high-resolution 3D magnetic resonance imaging. In order to achieve better image quality and avoid manual parameter tuning, we propose a probabilistic Bayesian approach to recover $R_2^*$ map and phase images for quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), while allowing automatic parameter estimation from undersampled data. Theory: Sparse prior on the wavelet coefficients of images is interpreted from a Bayesian perspective as sparsity-promoting distribution. A novel nonlinear approximate message passing (AMP) framework that incorporate…

Recent research has explored using neural networks to reconstruct undersampled magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Because of the complexity of the artifacts in the reconstructed images, there is a need to develop task-based approaches of image quality. Common metrics for evaluating image quality like the normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) and structural similarity (SSIM) are global metrics which average out impact of subtle features in the images. Using measures of image quality which incorporate a subtle signal for a specific task allow for image quality assessment which locally e…

In this work we reduce undersampling artefacts in two-dimensional ($2D$) golden-angle radial cine cardiac MRI by applying a modified version of the U-net. We train the network on $2D$ spatio-temporal slices which are previously extracted from the image sequences. We compare our approach to two $2D$ and a $3D$ Deep Learning-based post processing methods and to three iterative reconstruction methods for dynamic cardiac MRI. Our method outperforms the $2D$ spatially trained U-net and the $2D$ spatio-temporal U-net. Compared to the $3D$ spatio-temporal U-net, our method delivers comparable results…

Undersampling the k-space data is widely adopted for acceleration of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Current deep learning based approaches for supervised learning of MRI image reconstruction employ real-valued operations and representations by treating complex valued k-space/spatial-space as real values. In this paper, we propose complex dense fully convolutional neural network ($\mathbb{C}$DFNet) for learning to de-alias the reconstruction artifacts within undersampled MRI images. We fashioned a densely-connected fully convolutional block tailored for complex-valued inputs by introducing d…

Computed tomography is widely used to examine internal structures in a non-destructive manner. To obtain high-quality reconstructions, one typically has to acquire a densely sampled trajectory to avoid angular undersampling. However, many scenarios require a sparse-view measurement leading to streak-artifacts if unaccounted for. Current methods do not make full use of the domain-specific information, and hence fail to provide reliable reconstructions for highly undersampled data. We present a novel framework for sparse-view tomography by decoupling the reconstruction into two steps: First, we …

We propose a novel and unified method, measurement-conditioned denoising diffusion probabilistic model (MC-DDPM), for under-sampled medical image reconstruction based on DDPM. Different from previous works, MC-DDPM is defined in measurement domain (e.g. k-space in MRI reconstruction) and conditioned on under-sampling mask. We apply this method to accelerate MRI reconstruction and the experimental results show excellent performance, outperforming full supervision baseline and the state-of-the-art score-based reconstruction method. Due to its generative nature, MC-DDPM can also quantify the unce…
Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) is widely used to assess various cardiac conditions such as cardiac motion and blood flow. To accelerate MR acquisition, techniques such as undersampling and Simultaneous Multi-Slice (SMS) are often used. Special reconstruction algorithms are needed to reconstruct multiple SMS image slices from the entangled information. Deep learning (DL)-based methods have shown promising results for single-slice MR reconstruction, but the addition of SMS acceleration raises unique challenges due to the composite k-space signals and the resulting images with strong i…
Low Dose Computed Tomography suffers from a high amount of noise and/or undersampling artefacts in the reconstructed image. In the current article, a Deep Learning technique is exploited as a regularization term for the iterative reconstruction method SIRT. While SIRT minimizes the error in the sinogram space, the proposed regularization model additionally steers intermediate SIRT reconstructions towards the desired output. Extensive evaluations demonstrate the superior outcomes of the proposed method compared to the state of the art techniques. Comparing the forward projection of the reconstr…
The main focus of this work is a novel framework for the joint reconstruction and segmentation of parallel MRI (PMRI) brain data. We introduce an image domain deep network for calibrationless recovery of undersampled PMRI data. The proposed approach is the deep-learning (DL) based generalization of local low-rank based approaches for uncalibrated PMRI recovery including CLEAR [6]. Since the image domain approach exploits additional annihilation relations compared to k-space based approaches, we expect it to offer improved performance. To minimize segmentation errors resulting from undersamplin…

k-space undersampling is a standard technique to accelerate MR image acquisitions. Reconstruction techniques including GeneRalized Autocalibrating Partial Parallel Acquisition(GRAPPA) and its variants are utilized extensively in clinical and research settings. A reconstruction model combining GRAPPA with a conditional generative adversarial network (GAN) was developed and tested on multi-coil human brain images from the fastMRI dataset. For various acceleration rates, GAN and GRAPPA reconstructions were compared in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM). Fo…
A model-based reconstruction framework is proposed for MOtion-Corrected and High-resolution anatomically-Assisted (MOCHA) reconstruction of ASL data. In this framework, all low-resolution ASL control-label pairs are used to reconstruct a single high-resolution cerebral blood flow (CBF) map, corrected for rigid motion, point-spread-function (PSF) blurring and partial-volume effect (PVE).Six volunteers were recruited for CBF imaging using PCASL labelling, 2-shot 3D-GRASE sequences and high-resolution T1-weighted MRI. For two volunteers, high-resolution scans with double and triple resolution in …
We propose a new plug-and-play priors (PnP) based MR image reconstruction method that systematically enforces data consistency while also exploiting deep-learning priors. Our prior is specified through a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained without any artifact-free ground truth to remove undersampling artifacts from MR images. The results on reconstructing free-breathing MRI data into ten respiratory phases show that the method can form high-quality 4D images from severely undersampled measurements corresponding to acquisitions of about 1 and 2 minutes in length. The results also highli…

Purpose: To propose an alternating learning approach to learn the sampling pattern (SP) and the parameters of variational networks (VN) in accelerated parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: The approach alternates between improving the SP, using bias-accelerated subset selection, and improving parameters of the VN, using ADAM with monotonicity verification. The algorithm learns an effective pair: an SP that captures fewer k-space samples generating undersampling artifacts that are removed by the VN reconstruction. The proposed approach was tested for stability and convergence, con…

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a widely used non-invasive biomedical imaging modality that can rapidly provide volumetric images of samples. Here, we present a deep learning-based image reconstruction framework that can generate swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) images using undersampled spectral data, without any spatial aliasing artifacts. This neural network-based image reconstruction does not require any hardware changes to the optical set-up and can be easily integrated with existing swept-source or spectral domain OCT systems to reduce the amount of raw spectral data to be acquired. To sh…

Cine cardiac MRI is routinely acquired for the assessment of cardiac health, but the imaging process is slow and typically requires several breath-holds to acquire sufficient k-space profiles to ensure good image quality. Several undersampling-based reconstruction techniques have been proposed during the last decades to speed up cine cardiac MRI acquisition. However, the undersampling factor is commonly fixed to conservative values before acquisition to ensure diagnostic image quality, potentially leading to unnecessarily long scan times. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end quality-aware c…

Compressed Sensing MRI (CS-MRI) aims at reconstructing de-aliased images from sub-Nyquist sampling k-space data to accelerate MR Imaging, thus presenting two basic issues, i.e., where to sample and how to reconstruct. To deal with both problems simultaneously, we propose a novel end-to-end Probabilistic Under-sampling and Explicable Reconstruction neTwork, dubbed PUERT, to jointly optimize the sampling pattern and the reconstruction network. Instead of learning a deterministic mask, the proposed sampling subnet explores an optimal probabilistic sub-sampling pattern, which describes independent…
Purpose: To develop a synergistic image reconstruction framework that exploits multicontrast (MC), multicoil, and compressed sensing (CS) redundancies in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Approach: CS, MC acquisition, and parallel imaging (PI) have been individually well developed, but the combination of the three has not been equally well studied, much less the potential benefits of isotropy within such a setting. Inspired by total variation theory, we introduce an isotropic MC image regularizer and attain its full potential by integrating it into compressed MC multicoil MRI. A convex optimiz…

We propose an auto-encoding network architecture for point clouds (PC) capable of extracting shape signatures without supervision. Building on this, we (i) design a loss function capable of modelling data variance on PCs which are unstructured, and (ii) regularise the latent space as in a variational auto-encoder, both of which increase the auto-encoders' descriptive capacity while making them probabilistic. Evaluating the reconstruction quality of our architectures, we employ them for detecting vertebral fractures without any supervision. By learning to efficiently reconstruct only healthy ve…

Improving the image resolution and acquisition speed of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a challenging problem. There are mainly two strategies dealing with the speed-resolution trade-off: (1) $k$-space undersampling with high-resolution acquisition, and (2) a pipeline of lower resolution image reconstruction and image super-resolution. However, these approaches either have limited performance at certain high acceleration factor or suffer from the error accumulation of two-step structure. In this paper, we combine the idea of MR reconstruction and image super-resolution, and work on recover…

MRI is an inherently slow process, which leads to long scan time for high-resolution imaging. The speed of acquisition can be increased by ignoring parts of the data (undersampling). Consequently, this leads to the degradation of image quality, such as loss of resolution or introduction of image artefacts. This work aims to reconstruct highly undersampled Cartesian or radial MR acquisitions, with better resolution and with less to no artefact compared to conventional techniques like compressed sensing. In recent times, deep learning has emerged as a very important area of research and has show…
Compressed sensing based magnetic resonance imaging (CS-MRI) provides an efficient way to reduce scanning time of MRI. Recently deep learning has been introduced into CS-MRI to further improve the image quality and shorten reconstruction time. In this paper, we propose an efficient structurally strengthened Generative Adversarial Network, termed ESSGAN, for reconstructing MR images from highly under-sampled k-space data. ESSGAN consists of a structurally strengthened generator (SG) and a discriminator. In SG, we introduce strengthened connections (SCs) to improve the utilization of the feature…

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the noninvasive imaging modalities that can produce high-quality images. However, the scan procedure is relatively slow, which causes patient discomfort and motion artifacts in images. Accelerating MRI hardware is constrained by physical and physiological limitations. A popular alternative approach to accelerated MRI is to undersample the k-space data. While undersampling speeds up the scan procedure, it generates artifacts in the images, and advanced reconstruction algorithms are needed to produce artifact-free images. Recently deep learning has emer…
