用深度学习加速脑代谢成像重建,600倍提速且更准。

Deep-ER: Deep Learning ECCENTRIC Reconstruction for fast high-resolution neurometabolic imaging

  • 用循环交错卷积网络实现跨空间频域联合特征建模
  • 重建速度提升600倍,信噪比高12%-45%,参数误差低8%-50%
  • 适合临床高通量脑代谢成像,尤其肿瘤异质性研究

神经代谢异常是多种神经疾病及脑癌的重要机制,可通过磁共振波谱成像(MRSI)无创检测。采用非笛卡尔压缩感知采集的先进MRSI可实现快速高分辨率代谢成像,但重建耗时长、依赖专家干预。本文提出一种基于深度神经网络的高效重建方法(Deep-ER),利用重复交错卷积层与联合双空间特征表示,在7T MRI上以3.4 mm³各向同性分辨率完成全脑代谢成像,采集时间4:11–9:21分钟。数据来自高分辨率幻影和27名受试者(22名健康人,5名胶质瘤患者)。21人用于训练,6人用于测试。结果表明,Deep-ER相比传统总广义变分迭代法,重建速度提升600倍,空间-谱学质量更优,信噪比提高12%-45%(P<0.05),Cramer-Rao下界降低8%-50%(P<0.05)。代谢图像可清晰呈现胶质瘤内部异质性与边界。Deep-ER为稀疏采样MRSI提供高效稳健的重建方案,支持高通量成像流程,有望推动基础与临床应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Introduction: Altered neurometabolism is an important pathological mechanism in many neurological diseases and brain cancer, which can be mapped non-invasively by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI). Advanced MRSI using non-cartesian compressed-sense acquisition enables fast high-resolution metabolic imaging but has lengthy reconstruction times that limits throughput and needs expert user interaction. Here, we present a robust and efficient Deep Learning reconstruction to obtain high-quality metabolic maps. Methods: Fast high-resolution whole-brain metabolic imaging was performed at 3.4 mm$^3$ isotropic resolution with acquisition times between 4:11-9:21 min:s using ECCENTRIC pulse sequence on a 7T MRI scanner. Data were acquired in a high-resolution phantom and 27 human participants, including 22 healthy volunteers and 5 glioma patients. A deep neural network using recurring interlaced convolutional layers with joint dual-space feature representation was developed for deep learning ECCENTRIC reconstruction (Deep-ER). 21 subjects were used for training and 6 subjects for testing. Deep-ER performance was compared to conventional iterative Total Generalized Variation reconstruction using image and spectral quality metrics. Results: Deep-ER demonstrated 600-fold faster reconstruction than conventional methods, providing improved spatial-spectral quality and metabolite quantification with 12%-45% (P<0.05) higher signal-to-noise and 8%-50% (P<0.05) smaller Cramer-Rao lower bounds. Metabolic images clearly visualize glioma tumor heterogeneity and boundary. Conclusion: Deep-ER provides efficient and robust reconstruction for sparse-sampled MRSI. The accelerated acquisition-reconstruction MRSI is compatible with high-throughput imaging workflow. It is expected that such improved performance will facilitate basic and clinical MRSI applications.
