A learning-based posterior distribution estimation method, Probabilistic Dipole Inversion (PDI), is proposed to solve the quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) inverse problem in MRI with uncertainty estimation. In PDI, a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to represent the multivariate Gaussian distribution as the approximate posterior distribution of susceptibility given the input measured field. Such CNN is first trained on healthy subjects via posterior density estimation, where the training dataset contains samples from the true posterior distribution. Domain adaptations are then deployed on patient datasets with new pathologies not included in pre-training, where PDI updates the pre-trained CNNs weights in an unsupervised fashion by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the approximate posterior distribution represented by CNN and the true posterior distribution from the likelihood distribution of a known physical model and pre-defined prior distribution. Based on our experiments, PDI provides additional uncertainty estimation compared to the conventional MAP approach, while addressing the potential issue of the pre-trained CNN when test data deviates from training.

NN) is used to represent the multivariate Gaussian distribution as the approximated posterior distribution of susceptibility given the input measured field. In PDI, such CNN is firstly trained on healthy subjects dataset with labels by maximizing the posterior Gaussian distribution loss function as used in Bayesian deep learning. When tested on new dataset without any label, PDI updates the pre-trained network in an unsupervised fashion by minimizing the KL divergence between the approximated posterior distribution represented by CNN and the true posterior distribution given the likelihood distribution from known physical model and prior distribution. Based on our experiments, PDI provides additional uncertainty estimation compared to the conventional MAP approach, meanwhile addressing the potential discrepancy issue of CNN when test data deviates from training dataset.
Magnetic resonance $T_2^*$ mapping and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) provide direct and precise mappings of tissue contrasts. They are widely used to study iron deposition, hemorrhage and calcification in various clinical applications. In
practice, the measurements can be undersampled in the $k$-space to reduce the scan time needed for high-resolution 3D maps, and sparse prior on the wavelet coefficients of images can be used to fill in the missing information via compressive sensing. To avoid the extensive parameter tuning process of conventional regularization methods, we adopt a Bayesian approach to perform $T_2^*$ mapping and QSM using approximate message passing (AMP): the sparse prior is enforced through probability distributions, and the distribution parameters can be automatically and adaptively estimated. In this paper we propose a new nonlinear AMP framework that incorporates the mono-exponential decay model, and use it to recover the proton density, the $T_2^*$ map and complex multi-echo images. The QSM can be computed from the multi-echo images subsequently. Experimental results show that the proposed approach successfully recovers $T_2^*$ map and QSM across various sampling rates, and performs much better than the state-of-the-art $l_1$-norm regularization approach.
Deep neural networks have demonstrated promising potential for the field of medical image reconstruction. In this work, an MRI reconstruction algorithm, which is referred to as quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), has been developed using a dee
p neural network in order to perform dipole deconvolution, which restores magnetic susceptibility source from an MRI field map. Previous approaches of QSM require multiple orientation data (e.g. Calculation of Susceptibility through Multiple Orientation Sampling or COSMOS) or regularization terms (e.g. Truncated K-space Division or TKD; Morphology Enabled Dipole Inversion or MEDI) to solve the ill-conditioned deconvolution problem. Unfortunately, they either require long multiple orientation scans or suffer from artifacts. To overcome these shortcomings, a deep neural network, QSMnet, is constructed to generate a high quality susceptibility map from single orientation data. The network has a modified U-net structure and is trained using gold-standard COSMOS QSM maps. 25 datasets from 5 subjects (5 orientation each) were applied for patch-wise training after doubling the data using augmentation. Two additional datasets of 5 orientation data were used for validation and test (one dataset each). The QSMnet maps of the test dataset were compared with those from TKD and MEDI for image quality and consistency in multiple head orientations. Quantitative and qualitative image quality comparisons demonstrate that the QSMnet results have superior image quality to those of TKD or MEDI and have comparable image quality to those of COSMOS. Additionally, QSMnet maps reveal substantially better consistency across the multiple orientations than those from TKD or MEDI. As a preliminary application, the network was tested for two patients. The QSMnet maps showed similar lesion contrasts with those from MEDI, demonstrating potential for future applications.
Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has gained broad interests in the field by extracting biological tissue properties, predominantly myelin, iron and calcium from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phase measurements in vivo. Thereby, QSM can re
veal pathological changes of these key components in a variety of diseases. QSM requires multiple processing steps such as phase unwrapping, background field removal and field-to-source-inversion. Current state of the art techniques utilize iterative optimization procedures to solve the inversion and background field correction, which are computationally expensive and require a careful choice of regularization parameters. With the recent success of deep learning using convolutional neural networks for solving ill-posed reconstruction problems, the QSM community also adapted these techniques and demonstrated that the QSM processing steps can be solved by efficient feed forward multiplications not requiring iterative optimization nor the choice of regularization parameters. Here, we review the current status of deep learning based approaches for processing QSM, highlighting limitations and potential pitfalls, and discuss the future directions the field may take to exploit the latest advances in deep learning for QSM.
Deep learning based Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) has shown great potential in recent years, outperforming traditional non-learning approaches in speed and accuracy. However, many of the current deep learning approaches are not data consi
stent, require in vivo training data or do not solve all steps of the QSM processing pipeline. Here we aim to overcome these limitations and developed a framework to solve the QSM processing steps jointly. We developed a new hybrid training data generation method that enables the end-to-end training for solving background field correction and dipole inversion in a data-consistent fashion using a variational network that combines the QSM model term and a learned regularizer. We demonstrate that NeXtQSM overcomes the limitations of previous model-agnostic deep learning methods and show that NeXtQSM offers a complete deep learning based pipeline for computing robust, fast and accurate quantitative susceptibility maps.
