无需原始数据,用常规影像训练高质量MRI加速重建模型
Fast MRI for All: Bridging Access Gaps by Training without Raw Data
- 利用压缩性评估与并行成像一致性约束,仅用临床重建图像训练
- 在零样本设置下实现与依赖原始数据方法相当的重建质量
- 适合资源匮乏地区,推动远程和农村人群的快速MRI普及
物理驱动深度学习(PD-DL)已广泛用于提升快速磁共振成像(MRI)的重建质量。尽管其加速能力优于现有临床技术,但应用受限于专业中心,主要因模型需原始k空间数据训练,而此类数据通常仅限研究机构获取。本研究提出CUPID方法,仅使用临床扫描仪导出的重建图像即可完成高质量PD-DL训练。该方法基于压缩性评估输出质量,并通过精心设计的扰动确保结果与临床并行成像重建一致。实验表明,CUPID在重建质量上媲美依赖原始数据的现有方法,且优于压缩感知(CS)与扩散生成模型。此外,在零样本训练设置下,对回顾性和前瞻性欠采样数据均表现优异,验证了其极低的训练成本。本方法突破传统路径,为偏远及资源不足地区提供高性价比快速MRI解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Physics-driven deep learning (PD-DL) approaches have become popular for improved reconstruction of fast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Though PD-DL offers higher acceleration rates than existing clinical fast MRI techniques, their use has been limited outside specialized MRI centers. A key challenge is generalization to rare pathologies or different populations, noted in multiple studies, with fine-tuning on target populations suggested for improvement. However, current approaches for PD-DL training require access to raw k-space measurements, which is typically only available at specialized MRI centers that have research agreements for such data access. This is especially an issue for rural and under-resourced areas, where commercial MRI scanners only provide access to a final reconstructed image. To tackle these challenges, we propose Compressibility-inspired Unsupervised Learning via Parallel Imaging Fidelity (CUPID) for high-quality PD-DL training using only routine clinical reconstructed images exported from an MRI scanner. CUPID evaluates output quality with a compressibility-based approach while ensuring that the output stays consistent with the clinical parallel imaging reconstruction through well-designed perturbations. Our results show CUPID achieves similar quality to established PD-DL training that requires k-space data while outperforming compressed sensing (CS) and diffusion-based generative methods. We further demonstrate its effectiveness in a zero-shot training setup for retrospectively and prospectively sub-sampled acquisitions, attesting to its minimal training burden. As an approach that radically deviates from existing strategies, CUPID presents an opportunity to provide broader access to fast MRI for remote and rural populations in an attempt to reduce the obstacles associated with this expensive imaging modality.
