PISCO: Self-Supervised k-Space Regularization for Improved Neural Implicit k-Space Representations of Dynamic MRI

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Neural implicit k-space representations (NIK) have shown promising results for dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at high temporal resolutions. Yet, reducing acquisition time, and thereby available training data, results in severe performance drops due to overfitting. To address this, we introduce a novel self-supervised k-space loss function $\mathcal{L}_\mathrm{PISCO}$, applicable for regularization of NIK-based reconstructions. The proposed loss function is based on the concept of parallel imaging-inspired self-consistency (PISCO), enforcing a consistent global k-space neighborhood relationship without requiring additional data. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations on static and dynamic MR reconstructions show that integrating PISCO significantly improves NIK representations. Particularly for high acceleration factors (R$\geq$54), NIK with PISCO achieves superior spatio-temporal reconstruction quality compared to state-of-the-art methods. Furthermore, an extensive analysis of the loss assumptions and stability shows PISCO's potential as versatile self-supervised k-space loss function for further applications and architectures.

Multi-Linear Kernel Regression and Imputation in Data Manifolds

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

YNAMIC magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a popular non-invasive imaging modality for observing regularizers which are widely used in manifoldlearning body organ movement, with rich potential in cardiac and approaches [16]-[18]. MultiL-KRIM adopts instead a neurological diagnosis [1]. DMRI stands out as an application "collaborative-filtering" modeling approach to identify "optimal" domain where regression grapples with all of the and manifold-cognizant combinations of the observed archetypal data-analytic bottlenecks: large dimensionality due data features for regression and imputation. MultiL-KRIM to the image data, dynamic data patterns due to dMRI's time needs no training data to operate, builds a nonparametric component, missing data due to under-sampling, and strong regression estimate to reduce the dependence of its modeling but unknown spatio-temporal correlations since, often, dMRI assumptions on the probability distribution of the data [37], monitors structured movement; e.g., a beating heart [2].


Multi PILOT: Learned Feasible Multiple Acquisition Trajectories for Dynamic MRI

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is known to be a powerful and reliable technique for the dynamic imaging of internal organs and tissues, making it a leading diagnostic tool. A major difficulty in using MRI in this setting is the relatively long acquisition time (and, hence, increased cost) required for imaging in high spatio-temporal resolution, leading to the appearance of related motion artifacts and decrease in resolution. Compressed Sensing (CS) techniques have become a common tool to reduce MRI acquisition time by subsampling images in the k-space according to some acquisition trajectory. Several studies have particularly focused on applying deep learning techniques to learn these acquisition trajectories in order to attain better image reconstruction, rather than using some predefined set of trajectories. To the best of our knowledge, learning acquisition trajectories has been only explored in the context of static MRI. In this study, we consider acquisition trajectory learning in the dynamic imaging setting. We design an end-to-end pipeline for the joint optimization of multiple per-frame acquisition trajectories along with a reconstruction neural network, and demonstrate improved image reconstruction quality in shorter acquisition times.


Dynamic MRI using Learned Transform-based Tensor Low-Rank Network (LT$^2$LR-Net)

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

While low-rank matrix prior has been exploited in dynamic MR image reconstruction and has obtained satisfying performance, tensor low-rank models have recently emerged as powerful alternative representations for three-dimensional dynamic MR datasets. In this paper, we introduce a novel deep unrolling network for dynamic MRI, namely the learned transform-based tensor low-rank network (LT$^2$LR-Net). First, we generalize the tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD) into an arbitrary unitary transform-based version and subsequently propose the novel transformed tensor nuclear norm (TTNN). Then, we design a novel TTNN-based iterative optimization algorithm based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to exploit the tensor low-rank prior in the transformed domain. The corresponding iterative steps are unrolled into the proposed LT$^2$LR-Net, where the convolutional neural network (CNN) is incorporated to adaptively learn the transformation from the dynamic MR dataset for more robust and accurate tensor low-rank representations. Experimental results on the cardiac cine MR dataset demonstrate that the proposed framework can provide improved recovery results compared with the state-of-the-art methods.
