Iterative self-consistent parallel imaging reconstruction (SPIRiT) is an effective self-calibrated reconstruction model for parallel magnetic resonance imaging (PMRI). The joint L1 norm of wavelet coefficients and joint total variation (TV) regularization terms are incorporated into the SPIRiT model to improve the reconstruction performance. The simultaneous two-directional low-rankness (STDLR) in k-space data is incorporated into SPIRiT to realize improved reconstruction. Recent methods have exploited the nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) of images by imposing nonlocal low-rankness of similar patches to achieve a superior performance. To fully utilize both the NSS in Magnetic resonance (MR) images and calibration consistency in the k-space domain, we propose a nonlocal low-rank (NLR)-SPIRiT model by incorporating NLR regularization into the SPIRiT model. We apply the weighted nuclear norm (WNN) as a surrogate of the rank and employ the Nash equilibrium (NE) formulation and alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to efficiently solve the NLR-SPIRiT model. The experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of NLR-SPIRiT over the state-of-the-art methods via three objective metrics and visual comparison.

The combination of the sparse sampling and the low-rank structured matrix reconstruction has shown promising performance, enabling a significant reduction of the magnetic resonance imaging data acquisition time. However, the low-rank structured appro
aches demand considerable memory consumption and are time-consuming due to a noticeable number of matrix operations performed on the huge-size block Hankel-like matrix. In this work, we proposed a novel framework to utilize the low-rank property but meanwhile to achieve faster reconstructions and promising results. The framework allows us to enforce the low-rankness of Hankel matrices constructing from 1D vectors instead of 2D matrices from 1D vectors and thus avoid the construction of huge block Hankel matrix for 2D k-space matrices. Moreover, under this framework, we can easily incorporate other information, such as the smooth phase of the image and the low-rankness in the parameter dimension, to further improve the image quality. We built and validated two models for parallel and parameter magnetic resonance imaging experiments, respectively. Our retrospective in-vivo results indicate that the proposed approaches enable faster reconstructions than the state-of-the-art approaches, e.g., about 8x faster than STDLRSPIRiT, and faithful removal of undersampling artifacts.
Classical model-based imaging methods for ultrasound elasticity inverse problem require prior constraints about the underlying elasticity patterns, while finding the appropriate hand-crafted prior for each tissue type is a challenge. In contrast, sta
ndard data-driven methods count solely on supervised learning on the training data pairs leading to massive network parameters for unnecessary physical model relearning which might not be consistent with the governing physical models of the imaging system. Fusing the physical forward model and noise statistics with data-adaptive priors leads to a united reconstruction framework that guarantees the learned reconstruction agrees with the physical models while coping with the limited training data. In this paper, we propose a new methodology for estimating the elasticity image by solving a regularized optimization problem which benefits from the physics-based modeling via a data-fidelity term and adversarially learned priors via a regularization term. In this method, the regularizer is trained based on the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network (WGAN) objective function which tries to distinguish the distribution of clean and noisy images. Leveraging such an adversarial regularizer for parameterizing the distribution of latent images and using gradient descent (GD) for solving the corresponding regularized optimization task leads to stability and convergence of the reconstruction compared to pixel-wise supervised learning schemes. Our simulation results verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methodology with limited training datasets.
Medical imaging is playing a more and more important role in clinics. However, there are several issues in different imaging modalities such as slow imaging speed in MRI, radiation injury in CT and PET. Therefore, accelerating MRI, reducing radiation
dose in CT and PET have been ongoing research topics since their invention. Usually, acquiring less data is a direct but important strategy to address these issues. However, less acquisition usually results in aliasing artifacts in reconstructions. Recently, deep learning (DL) has been introduced in medical image reconstruction and shown potential on significantly speeding up MR reconstruction and reducing radiation dose. In this paper, we propose a general framework on combining the reconstruction model with deep learning to maximize the potential of deep learning and model-based reconstruction, and give the examples to demonstrate the performance and requirements of unrolling different algorithms using deep learning.
In this paper, SAR image reconstruction with joint phase error estimation (autofocusing) is formulated as an inverse problem. An optimization model utilising a sparsity-enforcing Cauchy regularizer is proposed, and an alternating minimization framewo
rk is used to solve it, in which the desired image and the phase errors are optimized alternatively. For the image reconstruction sub-problem (f-sub-problem), two methods are presented capable of handling the problems complex nature, and we thus present two variants of our SAR image autofocusing algorithm. Firstly, we design a complex version of the forward-backward splitting algorithm (CFBA) to solve the f-sub-problem iteratively. For the second variant, the Wirtinger alternating minimization autofocusing (WAMA) method is presented, in which techniques of Wirtinger calculus are utilized to minimize the complex-valued cost function in the f-sub-problem in a direct fashion. For both methods, the phase error estimation sub-problem is solved by simply expanding and observing its cost function. Moreover, the convergence of both algorithms is discussed in detail. By conducting experiments on both simulated scenes and real SAR images, the proposed method is demonstrated to give impressive autofocusing results compared to other state of the art methods.
We explore an ensembled $Sigma$-net for fast parallel MR imaging, including parallel coil networks, which perform implicit coil weighting, and sensitivity networks, involving explicit sensitivity maps. The networks in $Sigma$-net are trained in a sup
ervised way, including content and GAN losses, and with various ways of data consistency, i.e., proximal mappings, gradient descent and variable splitting. A semi-supervised finetuning scheme allows us to adapt to the k-space data at test time, which, however, decreases the quantitative metrics, although generating the visually most textured and sharp images. For this challenge, we focused on robust and high SSIM scores, which we achieved by ensembling all models to a $Sigma$-net.
