磁共振成像（MRI）常受低信噪比（SNR）和有限空间分辨率的困扰，这损害了临床精度。本研究旨在通过开发物理引导退化模型（PGDM）和一种新颖的深度学习框架——磁共振超分辨率生成对抗成像（MRSRGAN），来解决这些挑战，以改进MRI图像的超分辨率重建。所提出的方法包括两个阶段：（1）物理引导退化模型，通过引入模糊、B0不均匀性、化学位移效应、降采样和噪声等伪影来模拟低场MRI条件，以生成配对的低分辨率（LR）和高分辨率（HR）训练数据集；（2）基于MRSRGAN的重建网络，利用混合损失函数，包括改进的光谱角映射器（MSAM）和基于切片轮廓核反卷积的锐化真实图像，以恢复高信噪比和高分辨率图像。实验验证表明，所提出的方法在空间分辨率、信噪比增强、峰值信噪比（PSNR）、结构相似性指数（SSIM）、降低MSAM误差以及更好的无参考图像质量评估（NIQE）指标方面均取得了优越性能。此外，它有效减少了伪影，并在真实MRI数据集上表现出鲁棒性。在物理信息退化模型引导下的MRSRGAN框架，显著提升了MRI图像质量，增强了空间分辨率和诊断准确性。其在真实MRI数据集上展示的鲁棒性和有效性，凸显了其在精确诊断成像中分辨率增强的潜力。
英文摘要
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) often suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and limited spatial resolution, which compromise clinical precision. This study aims to address these challenges by developing a physics-guided degradation model (PGDM) and a novel deep learning framework, Magnetic Resonance Super-Resolution GAN Imaging (MRSRGAN), for improved super-resolution reconstruction of MRI images. The proposed approach consists of two stages: (1) a physics-guided degradation model that simulates low-field MRI conditions by incorporating artifacts such as blur, B0 inhomogeneity, chemical shift effects, down-sampling, and noise to generate paired low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) training datasets; and (2) an MRSRGAN-based reconstruction network utilizing a hybrid loss function, including modified spectral angle mapper (MSAM) and sharpened ground truth images based on de-convolution of slice profile-based kernels to restore high-SNR and high-resolution images. Experimental validation demonstrates that the proposed method achieves superior spatial resolution, enhanced SNR, improved peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), higher structural similarity index (SSIM), reduced MSAM error, and better non-reference image quality evaluation (NIQE) metrics. Furthermore, it effectively reduces artifacts and demonstrates robustness on real MRI datasets. The MRSRGAN framework, guided by the physics-informed degradation model, provides a significant improvement in MRI image quality, enhancing spatial resolution and diagnostic accuracy. Its demonstrated robustness and effectiveness on real MRI datasets highlight its potential to resolution enhancement for precise diagnostic imaging.
