Multi-contrast MRI images provide complementary contrast information about the characteristics of anatomical structures and are commonly used in clinical practice. Recently, a multi-flip-angle (FA) and multi-echo GRE method (MULTIPLEX MRI) has been developed to simultaneously acquire multiple parametric images with just one single scan. However, it poses two challenges for MULTIPLEX to be used in the 3D high-resolution setting: a relatively long scan time and the huge amount of 3D multi-contrast data for reconstruction. Currently, no DL based method has been proposed for 3D MULTIPLEX data reconstruction. We propose a deep learning framework for undersampled 3D MRI data reconstruction and apply it to MULTIPLEX MRI. The proposed deep learning method shows good performance in image quality and reconstruction time.

Retrospectively gated cine (retro-cine) MRI is the clinical standard for cardiac functional analysis. Deep learning (DL) based methods have been proposed for the reconstruction of highly undersampled MRI data and show superior image quality and magni tude faster reconstruction time than CS-based methods. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether DL reconstruction is suitable for cardiac function analysis. To address this question, in this study we evaluate and compare the cardiac functional values (EDV, ESV and EF for LV and RV, respectively) obtained from highly accelerated MRI acquisition using DL based reconstruction algorithm (DL-cine) with values from CS-cine and conventional retro-cine. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to evaluate the cine MRI with deep learning reconstruction for cardiac function analysis and compare it with other conventional methods. The cardiac functional values obtained from cine MRI with deep learning reconstruction are consistent with values from clinical standard retro-cine MRI.
In spite of its extensive adaptation in almost every medical diagnostic and examinatorial application, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is still a slow imaging modality which limits its use for dynamic imaging. In recent years, Parallel Imaging (PI) and Compressed Sensing (CS) have been utilised to accelerate the MRI acquisition. In clinical settings, subsampling the k-space measurements during scanning time using Cartesian trajectories, such as rectilinear sampling, is currently the most conventional CS approach applied which, however, is prone to producing aliased reconstructions. With the advent of the involvement of Deep Learning (DL) in accelerating the MRI, reconstructing faithful images from subsampled data became increasingly promising. Retrospectively applying a subsampling mask onto the k-space data is a way of simulating the accelerated acquisition of k-space data in real clinical setting. In this paper we compare and provide a review for the effect of applying either rectilinear or radial retrospective subsampling on the quality of the reconstructions outputted by trained deep neural networks. With the same choice of hyper-parameters, we train and evaluate two distinct Recurrent Inference Machines (RIMs), one for each type of subsampling. The qualitative and quantitative results of our experiments indicate that the model trained on data with radial subsampling attains higher performance and learns to estimate reconstructions with higher fidelity paving the way for other DL approaches to involve radial subsampling.
Deep Learning (DL) has shown potential in accelerating Magnetic Resonance Image acquisition and reconstruction. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of tailored methods to guarantee that the reconstruction of small features is achieved with high fidelity. In this work, we employ adversarial attacks to generate small synthetic perturbations, which are difficult to reconstruct for a trained DL reconstruction network. Then, we use robust training to increase the networks sensitivity to these small features and encourage their reconstruction. Next, we investigate the generalization of said approach to real world features. For this, a musculoskeletal radiologist annotated a set of cartilage and meniscal lesions from the knee Fast-MRI dataset, and a classification network was devised to assess the reconstruction of the features. Experimental results show that by introducing robust training to a reconstruction network, the rate of false negative features (4.8%) in image reconstruction can be reduced. These results are encouraging, and highlight the necessity for attention to this problem by the image reconstruction community, as a milestone for the introduction of DL reconstruction in clinical practice. To support further research, we make our annotations and code publicly available at https://github.com/fcaliva/fastMRI_BB_abnormalities_annotation.
Deep learning-based image reconstruction methods have achieved promising results across multiple MRI applications. However, most approaches require large-scale fully-sampled ground truth data for supervised training. Acquiring fully-sampled data is o ften either difficult or impossible, particularly for dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE), 3D cardiac cine, and 4D flow. We present a deep learning framework for MRI reconstruction without any fully-sampled data using generative adversarial networks. We test the proposed method in two scenarios: retrospectively undersampled fast spin echo knee exams and prospectively undersampled abdominal DCE. The method recovers more anatomical structure compared to conventional methods.
Deep learning has significantly improved 2D image recognition. Extending into 3D may advance many new applications including autonomous vehicles, virtual and augmented reality, authoring 3D content, and even improving 2D recognition. However despite growing interest, 3D deep learning remains relatively underexplored. We believe that some of this disparity is due to the engineering challenges involved in 3D deep learning, such as efficiently processing heterogeneous data and reframing graphics operations to be differentiable. We address these challenges by introducing PyTorch3D, a library of modular, efficient, and differentiable operators for 3D deep learning. It includes a fast, modular differentiable renderer for meshes and point clouds, enabling analysis-by-synthesis approaches. Compared with other differentiable renderers, PyTorch3D is more modular and efficient, allowing users to more easily extend it while also gracefully scaling to large meshes and images. We compare the PyTorch3D operators and renderer with other implementations and demonstrate significant speed and memory improvements. We also use PyTorch3D to improve the state-of-the-art for unsupervised 3D mesh and point cloud prediction from 2D images on ShapeNet. PyTorch3D is open-source and we hope it will help accelerate research in 3D deep learning.
