Deep J-Sense: Accelerated MRI Reconstruction via Unrolled Alternating Optimization.

ABSTRACT: Accelerated multi-coil magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction has seen a substantial recent improvement combining compressed sensing with deep learning. However, most of these methods rely on estimates of the coil sensitivity profiles, or on calibration data for estimating model parameters. Prior work has shown that these methods degrade in performance when the quality of these estimators are poor or when the scan parameters differ from the training conditions. Here we introduce Deep J-Sense as a deep learning approach that builds on unrolled alternating minimization and increases robustness: our algorithm refines both the magnetization (image) kernel and the coil sensitivity maps. Experimental results on a subset of the knee fastMRI dataset show that this increases reconstruction performance and provides a significant degree of robustness to varying acceleration factors and calibration region sizes.

Project description:ObjectiveTo compare compressed sensing (CS) and the Cascades of Independently Recurrent Inference Machines (CIRIM) with respect to image quality and reconstruction times when 12-fold accelerated scans of patients with neurological deficits are reconstructed.Materials and methodsTwelve-fold accelerated 3D T2-FLAIR images were obtained from a cohort of 62 patients with neurological deficits on 3 T MRI. Images were reconstructed offline via CS and the CIRIM. Image quality was assessed in a blinded and randomized manner by two experienced interventional neuroradiologists and one experienced pediatric neuroradiologist on imaging artifacts, perceived spatial resolution (sharpness), anatomic conspicuity, diagnostic confidence, and contrast. The methods were also compared in terms of self-referenced quality metrics, image resolution, patient groups and reconstruction time. In ten scans, the contrast ratio (CR) was determined between lesions and white matter. The effect of acceleration factor was assessed in a publicly available fully sampled dataset, since ground truth data are not available in prospectively accelerated clinical scans. Specifically, 451 FLAIR scans, including scans with white matter lesions, were adopted from the FastMRI database to evaluate structural similarity (SSIM) and the CR of lesions and white matter on ranging acceleration factors from four-fold up to 12-fold.ResultsInterventional neuroradiologists significantly preferred the CIRIM for imaging artifacts, anatomic conspicuity, and contrast. One rater significantly preferred the CIRIM in terms of sharpness and diagnostic confidence. The pediatric neuroradiologist preferred CS for imaging artifacts and sharpness. Compared to CS, the CIRIM reconstructions significantly improved in terms of imaging artifacts and anatomic conspicuity (p < 0.01) for higher resolution scans while yielding a 28% higher SNR (p = 0.001) and a 5.8% lower CR (p = 0.04). There were no differences between patient groups. Additionally, CIRIM was five times faster than CS was. An increasing acceleration factor did not lead to changes in CR (p = 0.92), but led to lower SSIM (p = 0.002).DiscussionPatients with neurological deficits can undergo MRI at a range of moderate to high acceleration. DL reconstruction outperforms CS in terms of image resolution, efficient denoising with a modest reduction in contrast and reduced reconstruction times.
