In dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, low-rank plus sparse (L+S) decomposition, or robust principal component analysis (PCA), has achieved stunning performance. However, the selection of the parameters of L+S is empirical, and the acceleration rate is limited, which are common failings of iterative compressed sensing MR imaging (CS-MRI) reconstruction methods. Many deep learning approaches have been proposed to address these issues, but few of them use a low-rank prior. In this paper, a model-based low-rank plus sparse network, dubbed L+S-Net, is proposed for dynamic MR reconstruction. In particular, we use an alternating linearized minimization method to solve the optimization problem with low-rank and sparse regularization. Learned soft singular value thresholding is introduced to ensure the clear separation of the L component and S component. Then, the iterative steps are unrolled into a network in which the regularization parameters are learnable. We prove that the proposed L+S-Net achieves global convergence under two standard assumptions. Experiments on retrospective and prospective cardiac cine datasets show that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art CS and existing deep learning methods and has great potential for extremely high acceleration factors (up to 24x).

The deep learning methods have achieved attractive performance in dynamic MR cine imaging. However, all of these methods are only driven by the sparse prior of MR images, while the important low-rank (LR) prior of dynamic MR cine images is not explored, which limits the further improvements on dynamic MR reconstruction. In this paper, a learned singular value thresholding (Learned-SVT) operation is proposed to explore deep low-rank prior in dynamic MR imaging for obtaining improved reconstruction results. In particular, we come up with two novel and distinct schemes to introduce the learnable low-rank prior into deep network architectures in an unrolling manner and a plug-and-play manner respectively. In the unrolling manner, we put forward a model-based unrolling sparse and low-rank network for dynamic MR imaging, dubbed SLR-Net. The SLR-Net is defined over a deep network flow graph, which is unrolled from the iterative procedures in the Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm (ISTA) for optimizing a sparse and low-rank based dynamic MRI model. In the plug-and-play manner, we present a plug-and-play LR network module that can be easily embedded into any other dynamic MR neural networks without changing the network paradigm. Experimental results show that both schemes can further improve the state-of-the-art CS methods, such as k-t SLR, and sparsity-driven deep learning-based methods, such as DC-CNN and CRNN, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Purpose: To develop a deep learning method on a nonlinear manifold to explore the temporal redundancy of dynamic signals to reconstruct cardiac MRI data from highly undersampled measurements. Methods: Cardiac MR image reconstruction is modeled as general compressed sensing (CS) based optimization on a low-rank tensor manifold. The nonlinear manifold is designed to characterize the temporal correlation of dynamic signals. Iterative procedures can be obtained by solving the optimization model on the manifold, including gradient calculation, projection of the gradient to tangent space, and retraction of the tangent space to the manifold. The iterative procedures on the manifold are unrolled to a neural network, dubbed as Manifold-Net. The Manifold-Net is trained using in vivo data with a retrospective electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated segmented bSSFP sequence. Results: Experimental results at high accelerations demonstrate that the proposed method can obtain improved reconstruction compared with a compressed sensing (CS) method k-t SLR and two state-of-the-art deep learning-based methods, DC-CNN and CRNN. Conclusion: This work represents the first study unrolling the optimization on manifolds into neural networks. Specifically, the designed low-rank manifold provides a new technical route for applying low-rank priors in dynamic MR imaging.
Accurately estimating and correcting the motion artifacts are crucial for 3D image reconstruction of the abdominal and in-utero magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The state-of-art methods are based on slice-to-volume registration (SVR) where multiple 2D image stacks are acquired in three orthogonal orientations. In this work, we present a novel reconstruction pipeline that only needs one orientation of 2D MRI scans and can reconstruct the full high-resolution image without masking or registration steps. The framework consists of two main stages: the respiratory motion estimation using a self-supervised recurrent neural network, which learns the respiratory signals that are naturally embedded in the asymmetry relationship of the neighborhood slices and cluster them according to a respiratory state. Then, we train a 3D deconvolutional network for super-resolution (SR) reconstruction of the sparsely selected 2D images using integrated reconstruction and total variation loss. We evaluate the classification accuracy on 5 simulated images and compare our results with the SVR method in adult abdominal and in-utero MRI scans. The results show that the proposed pipeline can accurately estimate the respiratory state and reconstruct 4D SR volumes with better or similar performance to the 3D SVR pipeline with less than 20% sparsely selected slices. The method has great potential to transform the 4D abdominal and in-utero MRI in clinical practice.
We present a deep network interpolation strategy for accelerated parallel MR image reconstruction. In particular, we examine the network interpolation in parameter space between a source model that is formulated in an unrolled scheme with L1 and SSIM losses and its counterpart that is trained with an adversarial loss. We show that by interpolating between the two different models of the same network structure, the new interpolated network can model a trade-off between perceptual quality and fidelity.
Compressed sensing (CS) has been introduced to accelerate data acquisition in MR Imaging. However, CS-MRI methods suffer from detail loss with large acceleration and complicated parameter selection. To address the limitations of existing CS-MRI methods, a model-driven MR reconstruction is proposed that trains a deep network, named CP-net, which is derived from the Chambolle-Pock algorithm to reconstruct the in vivo MR images of human brains from highly undersampled complex k-space data acquired on different types of MR scanners. The proposed deep network can learn the proximal operator and parameters among the Chambolle-Pock algorithm. All of the experiments show that the proposed CP-net achieves more accurate MR reconstruction results, outperforming state-of-the-art methods across various quantitative metrics.
