直接从加速采集的k空间数据中高效估算心脏运动,提升动态MRI精度。

Highly efficient non-rigid registration in k-space with application to cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

  • 基于局部全通思想,用深度网络直接从k空间估计非刚性运动。
  • 在每帧仅2条线(笛卡尔)或3根径向线(非笛卡尔)时仍保持高精度。
  • 适用于实时动态MRI,尤其适合心脏等快速运动场景。

在磁共振成像(MRI)中,高时间分辨率运动信息对图像采集与重建、术中引导放疗、动态增强、血流与灌注成像,以及心血管、腹部、肠蠕动、胎儿和肌肉骨骼功能运动评估均具重要意义。传统上依赖图像级配准来估计运动,但复杂运动模式与高动态分辨率使其极具挑战性,且加速扫描引入的伪影会破坏运动估计。本文提出一种新型自监督深度学习框架——局部全通注意力网络(LAPANet),可直接从加速采集的傅里叶空间(k空间)进行非刚性运动估计。该方法将非刚性运动建模为局部平移位移的累积和,沿用局部全通(LAP)配准思想。LAPANet在不同采样轨迹与加速率下对心脏运动估计进行了评估,结果表明其精度显著优于现有传统与深度学习配准方法,即使在笛卡尔轨迹下每帧仅2条线、非笛卡尔轨迹下每帧仅3根径向线的情况下仍表现优异。实现低于5毫秒的时间分辨率,为动态与实时MRI中的运动检测、追踪与校正开辟了新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), high temporal-resolved motion can be useful for image acquisition and reconstruction, MR-guided radiotherapy, dynamic contrast-enhancement, flow and perfusion imaging, and functional assessment of motion patterns in cardiovascular, abdominal, peristaltic, fetal, or musculoskeletal imaging. Conventionally, these motion estimates are derived through image-based registration, a particularly challenging task for complex motion patterns and high dynamic resolution. The accelerated scans in such applications result in imaging artifacts that compromise the motion estimation. In this work, we propose a novel self-supervised deep learning-based framework, dubbed the Local-All Pass Attention Network (LAPANet), for non-rigid motion estimation directly from the acquired accelerated Fourier space, i.e. k-space. The proposed approach models non-rigid motion as the cumulative sum of local translational displacements, following the Local All-Pass (LAP) registration technique. LAPANet was evaluated on cardiac motion estimation across various sampling trajectories and acceleration rates. Our results demonstrate superior accuracy compared to prior conventional and deep learning-based registration methods, accommodating as few as 2 lines/frame in a Cartesian trajectory and 3 spokes/frame in a non-Cartesian trajectory. The achieved high temporal resolution (less than 5 ms) for non-rigid motion opens new avenues for motion detection, tracking and correction in dynamic and real-time MRI applications.
