  • Publication number: 20230380714
    Abstract: Blurring and noise artifacts in magnetic resonance (MR) images caused by off-resonant image components may be corrected with convolutional neural networks, particularly feed forward networks with skip connections. Demodulating complex blurred images with off-resonant artifacts at a selected number of frequencies forms a respective real component frame of the MR data and a respective imaginary component frame for each image. A convolutional neural network is used to de-blur the images. The network has a plurality of residual blocks with multiple convolution calculations paired with respective skip connections. The method outputs, from the convolutional neural network, a de-blurred real image frame and a de-blurred imaginary image frame of the MR data for each complex blurred image.

  • Publication number: 20230342886
    Abstract: MR image data can be improved by using a complex de-noising convolutional neural network such as a non-blind C-DnCNN, a network for MRI denoising that leverages complex-valued data with phase information and noise level information to improve denoising performance in various settings. The proposed method achieved superior performance on both simulated and in vivo testing data compared to other algorithms. The utilization of complex-valued operations allows the network to better exploit the complex-valued MRI data and preserve the phase information. The MR image data is subject to complex de-noising operations directly and simultaneously on both real and imaginary parts of the image data. Complex and real values are also utilized for block normalization and rectified linear units applied to the noisy image data. A residual image is predicted by the C-DnCNN and a clean MR image is available for extraction.
