Compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging (CS-MRI) is a theoretical framework that can accurately reconstruct images from undersampled k-space data with a much lower sampling rate than the one set by the classical Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem. Therefore, CS-MRI can efficiently accelerate acquisition time and relieve the psychological burden on patients while maintaining high imaging quality. The problems with traditional CS-MRI reconstruction are solved by iterative numerical solvers, which usually suffer from expensive computational cost and the lack of accurate handcrafted priori. In this paper, inspired by deep learnings (DLs) fast inference and excellent end-to-end performance, we propose a novel cascaded convolutional neural network called MD-Recon-Net to facilitate fast and accurate MRI reconstruction. Especially, different from existing DL-based methods, which operate on single domain data or both domains in a certain order, our proposed MD-Recon-Net contains two parallel and interactive branches that simultaneously perform on k-space and spatial-domain data, exploring the latent relationship between k-space and the spatial domain. The simulated experimental results show that the proposed method not only achieves competitive visual effects to several state-of-the-art methods, but also outperforms other DL-based methods in terms of model scale and computational cost.

In this work we introduce a new method that combines Parallel MRI and Compressed Sensing (CS) for accelerated image reconstruction from subsampled k-space data. The method first computes a convolved image, which gives the convolution between a user-d
efined kernel and the unknown MR image, and then reconstructs the image by CS-based image deblurring, in which CS is applied for removing the inherent blur stemming from the convolution process. This method is hence termed CORE-Deblur. Retrospective subsampling experiments with data from a numerical brain phantom and in-vivo 7T brain scans showed that CORE-Deblur produced high-quality reconstructions, comparable to those of a conventional CS method, while reducing the number of iterations by a factor of 10 or more. The average Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE) obtained by CORE-Deblur for the in-vivo datasets was 0.016. CORE-Deblur also exhibited robustness regarding the chosen kernel and compatibility with various k-space subsampling schemes, ranging from regular to random. In summary, CORE-Deblur enables high quality reconstructions and reduction of the CS iterations number by 10-fold.
To improve the compressive sensing MRI (CS-MRI) approaches in terms of fine structure loss under high acceleration factors, we have proposed an iterative feature refinement model (IFR-CS), equipped with fixed transforms, to restore the meaningful str
uctures and details. Nevertheless, the proposed IFR-CS still has some limitations, such as the selection of hyper-parameters, a lengthy reconstruction time, and the fixed sparsifying transform. To alleviate these issues, we unroll the iterative feature refinement procedures in IFR-CS to a supervised model-driven network, dubbed IFR-Net. Equipped with training data pairs, both regularization parameter and the utmost feature refinement operator in IFR-CS become trainable. Additionally, inspired by the powerful representation capability of convolutional neural network (CNN), CNN-based inversion blocks are explored in the sparsity-promoting denoising module to generalize the sparsity-enforcing operator. Extensive experiments on both simulated and in vivo MR datasets have shown that the proposed network possesses a strong capability to capture image details and preserve well the structural information with fast reconstruction speed.
Due to the presence of metallic implants, the imaging quality of computed tomography (CT) would be heavily degraded. With the rapid development of deep learning, several network models have been proposed for metal artifact reduction (MAR). Since the
dual-domain MAR methods can leverage the hybrid information from both sinogram and image domains, they have significantly improved the performance compared to single-domain methods. However,current dual-domain methods usually operate on both domains in a specific order, which implicitly imposes a certain priority prior into MAR and may ignore the latent information interaction between both domains. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel interactive dualdomain parallel network for CT MAR, dubbed as IDOLNet. Different from existing dual-domain methods, the proposed IDOL-Net is composed of two modules. The disentanglement module is utilized to generate high-quality prior sinogram and image as the complementary inputs. The follow-up refinement module consists of two parallel and interactive branches that simultaneously operate on image and sinogram domain, fully exploiting the latent information interaction between both domains. The simulated and clinical results demonstrate that the proposed IDOL-Net outperforms several state-of-the-art models in both qualitative and quantitative aspects.
Fluorine-19 (19F) MRI of injected perfluorocarbon emulsions (PFCs) allows for the non-invasive quantification of inflammation and cell tracking, but suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio and extended scan time. To address this limitation, we teste
d the hypothesis that a 19F MRI pulse sequence that combines a specific undersampling regime with signal averaging has increased sensitivity and robustness against motion artifacts compared to a non-averaged fully-sampled dataset, when both are reconstructed with compressed sensing. To this end, numerical simulations and phantom experiments were performed to characterize the point spread function (PSF) of undersampling patterns and the vulnerability to noise of acquisition-reconstruction strategies with paired numbers of x signal averages and acceleration factor x (NAx-AFx). At all investigated noise levels, the DSC of the acquisition-reconstruction strategies strongly depended on the regularization parameters and acceleration factor. In phantoms, motion robustness of an NA8-AF8 undersampling pattern versus NA1-AF1 was evaluated with simulated and real motions. Differences were assessed with Dice similarity coefficients (DSC), and were consistently higher for NA8-AF8 compared to NA1-AF1 strategy, for both simulated and real cyclic motions (P<0.001). Both acquisition-reconstruction strategies were validated in vivo in mice (n=2) injected with perfluoropolyether. These images displayed a sharper delineation of the liver with the NA8-AF8 strategy than with the NA1-AF1 strategy. In conclusion, we validated the hypothesis that in 19F MRI, the combination of undersampling and averaging improves both the sensitivity and the robustness against motion artifacts compared to a non-averaged fully-sampled dataset, when both are reconstructed with compressed sensing.
Compressed sensing for magnetic resonance imaging (CS-MRI) exploits image sparsity properties to reconstruct MRI from very few Fourier k-space measurements. The goal is to minimize any structural errors in the reconstruction that could have a negativ
e impact on its diagnostic quality. To this end, we propose a deep error correction network (DECN) for CS-MRI. The DECN model consists of three parts, which we refer to as modules: a guide, or template, module, an error correction module, and a data fidelity module. Existing CS-MRI algorithms can serve as the template module for guiding the reconstruction. Using this template as a guide, the error correction module learns a convolutional neural network (CNN) to map the k-space data in a way that adjusts for the reconstruction error of the template image. Our experimental results show the proposed DECN CS-MRI reconstruction framework can considerably improve upon existing inversion algorithms by supplementing with an error-correcting CNN.
