Although deep learning (DL) has received much attention in accelerated MRI, recent studies suggest small perturbations may lead to instabilities in DL-based reconstructions, leading to concern for their clinical application. However, these works focus on single-coil acquisitions, which is not practical. We investigate instabilities caused by small adversarial attacks for multi-coil acquisitions. Our results suggest that, parallel imaging and multi-coil CS exhibit considerable instabilities against small adversarial perturbations.

We propose a novel deep neural network architecture by mapping the robust proximal gradient scheme for fast image reconstruction in parallel MRI (pMRI) with regularization function trained from data. The proposed network learns to adaptively combine
the multi-coil images from incomplete pMRI data into a single image with homogeneous contrast, which is then passed to a nonlinear encoder to efficiently extract sparse features of the image. Unlike most of existing deep image reconstruction networks, our network does not require knowledge of sensitivity maps, which can be difficult to estimate accurately, and have been a major bottleneck of image reconstruction in real-world pMRI applications. The experimental results demonstrate the promising performance of our method on a variety of pMRI imaging data sets.
Improving speed and image quality of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) via novel reconstruction approaches remains one of the highest impact applications for deep learning in medical imaging. The fastMRI dataset, unique in that it contains large volum
es of raw MRI data, has enabled significant advances in accelerating MRI using deep learning-based reconstruction methods. While the impact of the fastMRI dataset on the field of medical imaging is unquestioned, the dataset currently lacks clinical expert pathology annotations, critical to addressing clinically relevant reconstruction frameworks and exploring important questions regarding rendering of specific pathology using such novel approaches. This work introduces fastMRI+, which consists of 16154 subspecialist expert bounding box annotations and 13 study-level labels for 22 different pathology categories on the fastMRI knee dataset, and 7570 subspecialist expert bounding box annotations and 643 study-level labels for 30 different pathology categories for the fastMRI brain dataset. The fastMRI+ dataset is open access and aims to support further research and advancement of medical imaging in MRI reconstruction and beyond.
Deep learning has achieved good success in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction, in which convolutional neural networks (CNNs) learn a mapping from the undersampled k-space to the fully sampled images. Although these deep learning
methods can improve the reconstruction quality compared with iterative methods without requiring complex parameter selection or lengthy reconstruction time, the following issues still need to be addressed: 1) all these methods are based on big data and require a large amount of fully sampled MRI data, which is always difficult to obtain for cardiac MRI; 2) the effect of coil correlation on reconstruction in deep learning methods for dynamic MR imaging has never been studied. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised deep learning method for multi-coil cine MRI via a time-interleaved sampling strategy. Specifically, a time-interleaved acquisition scheme is utilized to build a set of fully encoded reference data by directly merging the k-space data of adjacent time frames. Then these fully encoded data can be used to train a parallel network for reconstructing images of each coil separately. Finally, the images from each coil are combined via a CNN to implicitly explore the correlations between coils. The comparisons with classic k-t FOCUSS, k-t SLR, L+S and KLR methods on in vivo datasets show that our method can achieve improved reconstruction results in an extremely short amount of time.
Deep learning based generative adversarial networks (GAN) can effectively perform image reconstruction with under-sampled MR data. In general, a large number of training samples are required to improve the reconstruction performance of a certain mode
l. However, in real clinical applications, it is difficult to obtain tens of thousands of raw patient data to train the model since saving k-space data is not in the routine clinical flow. Therefore, enhancing the generalizability of a network based on small samples is urgently needed. In this study, three novel applications were explored based on parallel imaging combined with the GAN model (PI-GAN) and transfer learning. The model was pre-trained with public Calgary brain images and then fine-tuned for use in (1) patients with tumors in our center; (2) different anatomies, including knee and liver; (3) different k-space sampling masks with acceleration factors (AFs) of 2 and 6. As for the brain tumor dataset, the transfer learning results could remove the artifacts found in PI-GAN and yield smoother brain edges. The transfer learning results for the knee and liver were superior to those of the PI-GAN model trained with its own dataset using a smaller number of training cases. However, the learning procedure converged more slowly in the knee datasets compared to the learning in the brain tumor datasets. The reconstruction performance was improved by transfer learning both in the models with AFs of 2 and 6. Of these two models, the one with AF=2 showed better results. The results also showed that transfer learning with the pre-trained model could solve the problem of inconsistency between the training and test datasets and facilitate generalization to unseen data.
In clinical practice, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with multiple contrasts is usually acquired in a single study to assess different properties of the same region of interest in human body. The whole acquisition process can be accelerated by havi
ng one or more modalities under-sampled in the $k$-space. Recent researches demonstrate that, considering the redundancy between different contrasts or modalities, a target MRI modality under-sampled in the $k$-space can be more efficiently reconstructed with a fully-sampled MRI contrast as the reference modality. However, we find that the performance of the above multi-modal reconstruction can be negatively affected by subtle spatial misalignment between different contrasts, which is actually common in clinical practice. In this paper, to compensate for such spatial misalignment, we integrate the spatial alignment network with multi-modal reconstruction towards better reconstruction quality of the target modality. First, the spatial alignment network estimates the spatial misalignment between the fully-sampled reference and the under-sampled target images, and warps the reference image accordingly. Then, the aligned fully-sampled reference image joins the multi-modal reconstruction of the under-sampled target image. Also, considering the contrast difference between the target and the reference images, we particularly design the cross-modality-synthesis-based registration loss, in combination with the reconstruction loss, to jointly train the spatial alignment network and the reconstruction network. Experiments on both clinical MRI and multi-coil $k$-space raw data demonstrate the superiority and robustness of multi-modal MRI reconstruction empowered with our spatial alignment network.
