磁共振成像(MRI)重建本质上是线性逆问题,可通过显式伪逆编码矩阵求解得到图像,称为Pinv-Recon。尽管早期研究已认可其优势,但因计算效率问题,领域长期偏向快速傅里叶变换(FFT)和迭代方法。本文在现代软硬件条件下重新评估Pinv-Recon,比较不同矩阵求逆策略,分析正则化影响,并将先进编码物理统一整合至重建框架中。硬件进步已显著降低计算耗时,本研究进一步表明,采用乔列斯基分解相比基于奇异值分解(SVD)的旧实现,计算效率提升两个数量级。同时,在涵盖低到中等分辨率功能与代谢成像,以及高分辨率病例的多种真实人体数据集上,验证了Pinv-Recon的通用性与鲁棒性。结果确立了Pinv-Recon作为开放、可复现的现代重建框架的可行性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Image reconstruction in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is fundamentally a linear inverse problem, such that the image can be recovered via explicit pseudoinversion of the encoding matrix by solving $\textbf{data} = \textbf{Encode} \times \textbf{image}$ - a method referred to here as Pinv-Recon. While the benefits of this approach were acknowledged in early studies, the field has historically favored fast Fourier transforms (FFT) and iterative techniques due to perceived computational limitations of the pseudoinversion approach. This work revisits Pinv-Recon in the context of modern hardware, software, and optimized linear algebra routines. We compare various matrix inversion strategies, assess regularization effects, and demonstrate incorporation of advanced encoding physics into a unified reconstruction framework. While hardware advances have already significantly reduced computation time compared to earlier studies, our work further demonstrates that leveraging Cholesky decomposition leads to a two-order-of-magnitude improvement in computational efficiency over previous Singular Value Decomposition-based implementations. Moreover, we demonstrate the versatility of Pinv-Recon on diverse $\textit{in vivo}$ datasets encompassing a range of encoding schemes, starting with low- to medium-resolution functional and metabolic imaging and extending to high-resolution cases. Our findings establish Pinv-Recon as a versatile and robust reconstruction framework that aligns with the increasing emphasis on open-source and reproducible MRI research.
