Low-rank plus sparse compressed sensing for accelerated proton resonance frequency shift MR temperature imaging.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To improve multichannel compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction for MR proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift thermography, with application to MRI-induced RF heating evaluation and MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) temperature monitoring. METHODS:A new compressed sensing reconstruction is proposed that enforces joint low rank and sparsity of complex difference domain PRF data between post heating and baseline images. Validations were performed on 4 retrospectively undersampled dynamic data sets in PRF applications, by comparing the proposed method to a previously described L1 and total variation- (TV-) based CS approach that also operates on complex difference domain data, and to a conventional low rank plus sparse (L+S) separation-based CS reconstruction applied to the original domain data. RESULTS:In all 4 retrospective validations, the proposed reconstruction method outperformed the conventional L+S and L1 +TV CS reconstruction methods with a 3.6× acceleration ratio in terms of temperature accuracy with respect to fully sampled data. For RF heating evaluation, the proposed method achieved RMS error of 12%, compared to 19% for the L+S method and 17% for the L1 +TV method. For in vivo MRgFUS thalamotomy, the peak temperature reconstruction errors were 19%, 31%, and 35%, respectively. CONCLUSION:The complex difference-based low rank and sparse model enhances compressibility for dynamic PRF temperature imaging applications. The proposed multichannel CS reconstruction method enables high acceleration factors for PRF applications including RF heating evaluation and MRgFUS sonication.

Project description:PurposeTo develop a method that combines parallel imaging and compressed sensing to enable faster and/or higher spatial resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and show its feasibility in a pediatric clinical setting.Materials and methodsInstitutional review board approval was obtained for this HIPAA-compliant study, and informed consent or assent was given by subjects. A pseudorandom k-space undersampling pattern was incorporated into a three-dimensional (3D) gradient-echo sequence; aliasing then has an incoherent noiselike pattern rather than the usual coherent fold-over wrapping pattern. This k-space-sampling pattern was combined with a compressed sensing nonlinear reconstruction method that exploits the assumption of sparsity of medical images to permit reconstruction from undersampled k-space data and remove the noiselike aliasing. Thirty-four patients (15 female and 19 male patients; mean age, 8.1 years; range, 0-17 years) referred for cardiovascular, abdominal, and knee MR imaging were scanned with this 3D gradient-echo sequence at high acceleration factors. Obtained k-space data were reconstructed with both a traditional parallel imaging algorithm and the nonlinear method. Both sets of images were rated for image quality, radiologist preference, and delineation of specific structures by two radiologists. Wilcoxon and symmetry tests were performed to test the hypothesis that there was no significant difference in ratings for image quality, preference, and delineation of specific structures.ResultsCompressed sensing images were preferred more often, had significantly higher image quality ratings, and greater delineation of anatomic structures (P < .001) than did images obtained with the traditional parallel reconstruction method.ConclusionA combination of parallel imaging and compressed sensing is feasible in a clinical setting and may provide higher resolution and/or faster imaging, addressing the challenge of delineating anatomic structures in pediatric MR imaging.

Project description:To evaluate the use of low-dimensional-structure self-learning and thresholding (LOST) compressed sensing acquisition and reconstruction in the assessment of left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) scar by using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with isotropic spatial resolution.The study was approved by the local institutional review board and was compliant with HIPAA. All subjects provided written informed consent. Twenty-eight patients (eight women; mean age, 58.0 years ± 10.1) with a history of atrial fibrillation were recruited for the LA LGE study, and 14 patients (five women; mean age, 54.2 years ± 18.6) were recruited for assessment of LV myocardial infarction. With use of a pseudorandom k-space undersampling pattern, threefold accelerated three-dimensional (3D) LGE data were acquired with isotropic spatial resolution and reconstructed off-line by using LOST. For comparison, subjects were also imaged by using standard 3D LGE protocols with nonisotropic spatial resolution. Images were compared qualitatively by three cardiologists with regard to diagnostic value, presence of enhancement, and image quality. The signed rank test and Wilcoxon unpaired two-sample test were used to test the hypothesis that there would be no significant difference in image quality ratings with different resolutions.Interpretable images were obtained in 26 of the 28 patients (93%) in the LA LGE study. LGE was seen in 17 of 30 cases (57%) with nonisotropic resolution and in 18 cases (60%) with isotropic resolution. Diagnostic quality scores of isotropic images were significantly higher than those of nonisotropic images with coronal views (median, 3 vs 2, respectively [25th and 75th percentiles: 3, 3 vs 2, 3]; P < .001) and sagittal views (median, 3 vs 2 [25th and 75th percentiles: 3, 4 vs 2, 3]; P < .001) but lower with axial views (median, 4 vs 3 [25th and 75th percentiles: 3, 4 vs 3, 3]; P < .001). For the LV LGE study, all patients had interpretable images. LGE was seen in six of 14 patients (43%), with 100% agreement between both data sets. Diagnostic quality scores of high-isotropic-resolution LV images were higher than those of nonisotropic images with short-axis views (median, 4 vs 3 [25th and 75th percentiles: 3, 4 vs 2, 3]; P = .014) and two-chamber views (median, 4 vs 3 [25th and 75th percentiles: 3, 4 vs 2, 3]; P = .001).An accelerated LGE acquisition with LOST enables imaging with high isotropic spatial resolution for improved assessment of LV, LA, and pulmonary vein scar.

Project description:PurposeTo develop a highly accelerated phase-contrast cardiac-gated volume flow measurement (four-dimensional [4D] flow) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technique based on spiral sampling and dynamic compressed sensing and to compare this technique with established phase-contrast imaging techniques for the quantification of blood flow in abdominal vessels.Materials and methodsThis single-center prospective study was compliant with HIPAA and approved by the institutional review board. Ten subjects (nine men, one woman; mean age, 51 years; age range, 30-70 years) were enrolled. Seven patients had liver disease. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Two 4D flow acquisitions were performed in each subject, one with use of Cartesian sampling with respiratory tracking and the other with use of spiral sampling and a breath hold. Cartesian two-dimensional (2D) cine phase-contrast images were also acquired in the portal vein. Two observers independently assessed vessel conspicuity on phase-contrast three-dimensional angiograms. Quantitative flow parameters were measured by two independent observers in major abdominal vessels. Intertechnique concordance was quantified by using Bland-Altman and logistic regression analyses.ResultsThere was moderate to substantial agreement in vessel conspicuity between 4D flow acquisitions in arteries and veins (κ = 0.71 and 0.61, respectively, for observer 1; κ = 0.71 and 0.44 for observer 2), whereas more artifacts were observed with spiral 4D flow (κ = 0.30 and 0.20). Quantitative measurements in abdominal vessels showed good equivalence between spiral and Cartesian 4D flow techniques (lower bound of the 95% confidence interval: 63%, 77%, 60%, and 64% for flow, area, average velocity, and peak velocity, respectively). For portal venous flow, spiral 4D flow was in better agreement with 2D cine phase-contrast flow (95% limits of agreement: -8.8 and 9.3 mL/sec, respectively) than was Cartesian 4D flow (95% limits of agreement: -10.6 and 14.6 mL/sec).ConclusionThe combination of highly efficient spiral sampling with dynamic compressed sensing results in major acceleration for 4D flow MR imaging, which allows comprehensive assessment of abdominal vessel hemodynamics in a single breath hold.
