  • Publication number: 20240095889
    Abstract: Systems and methods for improving magnetic resonance imaging relate to reconstructing multi-slice images based on sharing the strong structural similarities between adjacent image slices. In addition, a joint denoising method exploits these structural similarities. In part the reconstruction is based on use of a residual neural networks and denoising is achieved with a deep learning based strategy. The system and method have proved useful in both simulation and in vivo brain experiments, demonstrating significant noise reduction in all images and revealing more microstructural details in quantitative diffusion maps.

  • Publication number: 20230055826
    Abstract: Disclosed are deep learning based methods for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image reconstruction from partial Fourier-space (i.e., k-space) data, involving: obtaining high-quality complex MRI image data or fully-sampled k-space data as training data; training reconstruction models to predict high-quality complex MRI image data or complete k-space data from incomplete or partial k-space data; and applying trained models to reconstruct high-quality complex MRI image data or complete k-space data from partial k-space data.
