Abstract: Systems and methods for reconstruction for a medical imaging system. An adapter is used to adapt scan data so that different quantities of repetitions or directions may be used to train and implement a single multichannel backbone network.

Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, scanning is accelerated by under-sampling. In iterative reconstruction, the input to the regularizer is altered provide for correlation of non-local aliasing artifacts. Duplicates of the input image are shifted by different amounts based on the level of acceleration. The resulting shifted images are used to form the input to the regularizer. Providing an input based on shifts allows the regularization to suppress non-local as well as local aliasing artifacts.

Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, an iterative, hierarchal network for regularization may decrease computational complexity. To further maintain computational complexity while improving robustness, auxiliary information is used in the regularization and corresponding reconstruction. The auxiliary information is in put to the machine-learned network.

Abstract: For reconstruction, a machine-learned model is adapted to allow for reconstruction based on the repetitions available in some scanning. The reconstruction for one or more subsets is performed during the scanning. The machine-learned model is trained to reconstruction separately or independently for each repetition or to use information from previous repetitions without requiring waiting for completion of scanning. The reconstructed image may be displayed much more rapidly after completion of the acquisition since the reconstruction begins during the reconstruction.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes, based on an input dataset defining an input image, determining a reconstructed image using a reconstruction algorithm, and executing a data-consistency operation for enforcing consistency between the input image and the reconstructed image. The data-consistency operation determines, for multiple K-space positions at which the input dataset comprises respective source data, a contribution of respective K-space values associated with the input dataset to a K-space representation of the reconstructed image.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a deep learning reconstruction network with computationally light and efficient CNN architecture and a training strategy tailored to image reconstruction of dynamic multi-coil GRASP MRI. The configuration of the size of the network used in training time may be adjusted, which allows for higher accelerations and different hardware constraints.

Abstract: Systems and methods for image restoration of medical imaging data using an incremental process. The image restoration problem is decomposed into a sequence of intermediate steps that are easier to process than a single large step directly from the input to an output. Intermediate reconstructions are generated iteratively which provide for mapping a low-quality input to a high-quality reconstruction through a sequence of slightly less corrupted images.

Abstract: In reconstruction, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, sub-sampled measurements from the scan are used in each iteration. By masking parts of the sub-sampled measurements (i.e., sub-sampling the acquired sub-sampled data) used in one or more iterations of reconstruction, banding is reduced or eliminated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for AI-powered histological fingerprinting in magnetic resonance imaging. MR signal data of an object is acquired using a high sensitivity scanner. Ground truth tissue microstructure data is acquired for the object. A forward model is learned using machine learning. The forward model is used to generate a dictionary or to train a model to map the signals to the histological parameters including the tissue microstructure of a scanner object. A signal-to-signal translation model is also provided to provide signals with improved sensitivity.

Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging, user control of a characteristic (e.g., noise level) of the reconstructed image is provided. A machine-learned model alters the reconstructed image to enhance or reduce the characteristic. The user selected level of characteristic is then provided by combining the reconstructed image with the altered image based on the input level of the characteristic. Personalized or more controllable impression for medical imaging reconstruction is provided without requiring different reconstructions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reconstruction for a medical imaging system. Non-Cartesian k-space data is acquired using a dynamic MR sequence. A time compression network compresses the non-Cartesian data. The compressed data is used for reconstruction of an image. The time compression network is configured to reduce the (time and memory) complexity of the reconstruction process.

Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging, self-consistency using data augmentation is improved by including data consistency. Artificial intelligence is trained based on self-consistency and data consistency, allowing training without supervision. Fully sampled data and/or ground truth is not needed but may be used. The machine-trained model is less likely to reconstruct images with motion artifacts, and/or the training data may be more easily gathered by not requiring full sampling.

Abstract: For correction of an image from an imaging system, an inverse solution uses an imaging prior as a regularizer and a physics model of the imaging system. An invertible network is used as the deep-learnt generative model in the regularizer of the inverse solution with the physics model of the degradation behavior of the imaging system. The prior model based on the invertible network provides a closed-form expression of the prior probability, resulting in a more versatile or accurate probability prediction.

Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging using a scan protocol with repetition, a machine learning model is trained for reconstruction of an image for each repetition. Rather than using a loss for that repetition in training, the loss based on an aggregation of images reconstructed from multiple repetitions is used to train the machine learning model. This loss for reconstruction of one repetition based on aggregation of reconstructions for multiple repetitions is based on deep set-based deep learning. The resulting machine-learned model may better reconstruct an image from a given repetition and/or a combined image from multiple repetitions than a model learned from a loss per repetition.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes, based on scan data defining an input image, determining a reconstructed image using a reconstruction algorithm, and executing a data consistency operation for enforcing consistency between the input image and the reconstructed image. The data consistency operation includes using a norm ball projection that takes into account the available noise level information in order to automatically adjust the balance between the network prediction and the input measurements.

Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, an iterative, hierarchal network for regularization may decrease computational complexity. The machine-learned network of the regularizer is unrolled or made iterative. For each iteration, nested U-blocks form a hierarchy so that some of the down-sampling and up-sampling of some U-blocks begin and end with lower resolution data or features, reducing computational complexity.

Abstract: For reconstruction in sampling-based imaging, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, an iterative, multiple-mapping based hierarchal machine-learned network reconstruction may produce artifact corrected images based on under-sampled scans. Two or more mappings may be used to reduce the presence of artifacts, in some cases including localized low-noise-contribution artifacts, relative to reconstructions based on fully-sampled scans.
