Publication number: 20240037815Abstract: Systems and methods for recreating images from undersampled MRI image data includes capturing undersampled MRI data and enhancing it with multiple cascading stages, each including a data consistency block in parallel to a convolutional neural network (CNN). The data consistency block adjusts each input image by a sensitivity map and performs hard replacement of acquired lines in k-space into the image. The CNN estimates a regularizer term that attempts to minimize a difference between a true image and the output of the data consistency block. At each stage, the output of CNN and data consistency block are added to create a set of output images that feed into the next stage.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Vahid Ghodrati, Chang Gao, Peng Hu, Xiaodong Zhong, Jens Wetzl, Jianing Pang
