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 having 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.

Fast data acquisition in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is vastly in demand and scan time directly depends on the number of acquired k-space samples. The data-driven methods based on deep neural networks have resulted in promising improvements, com
pared to the conventional methods, in image reconstruction algorithms. The connection between deep neural network and Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) has been observed and studied recently. The studies show that different residual networks can be interpreted as Euler discretization of an ODE. In this paper, we propose an ODE-based deep network for MRI reconstruction to enable the rapid acquisition of MR images with improved image quality. Our results with undersampled data demonstrate that our method can deliver higher quality images in comparison to the reconstruction methods based on the standard UNet network and Residual network.
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.
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.
The core problem of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the trade off between acceleration and image quality. Image reconstruction and super-resolution are two crucial techniques in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Current methods are designed to pe
rform these tasks separately, ignoring the correlations between them. In this work, we propose an end-to-end task transformer network (T$^2$Net) for joint MRI reconstruction and super-resolution, which allows representations and feature transmission to be shared between multiple task to achieve higher-quality, super-resolved and motion-artifacts-free images from highly undersampled and degenerated MRI data. Our framework combines both reconstruction and super-resolution, divided into two sub-branches, whose features are expressed as queries and keys. Specifically, we encourage joint feature learning between the two tasks, thereby transferring accurate task information. We first use two separate CNN branches to extract task-specific features. Then, a task transformer module is designed to embed and synthesize the relevance between the two tasks. Experimental results show that our multi-task model significantly outperforms advanced sequential methods, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Learning-based light field reconstruction methods demand in constructing a large receptive field by deepening the network to capture correspondences between input views. In this paper, we propose a spatial-angular attention network to perceive corres
pondences in the light field non-locally, and reconstruction high angular resolution light field in an end-to-end manner. Motivated by the non-local attention mechanism, a spatial-angular attention module specifically for the high-dimensional light field data is introduced to compute the responses from all the positions in the epipolar plane for each pixel in the light field, and generate an attention map that captures correspondences along the angular dimension. We then propose a multi-scale reconstruction structure to efficiently implement the non-local attention in the low spatial scale, while also preserving the high frequency components in the high spatial scales. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed spatial-angular attention network for reconstructing sparsely-sampled light fields with non-Lambertian effects.
