Multi-dynamic deep image prior for cardiac MRI
- 用动态字典和时变形变场联合建模心跳与呼吸运动。
- 在仿真与临床数据上均优于现有方法,尤其在电影成像和延迟增强中表现突出。
- 适合无监督场景,适用于多种动态心脏成像任务。
心血管磁共振成像是评估心脏结构与功能的强大工具,但传统屏气扫描对心律不齐或屏气能力受限患者存在挑战。本文提出多动态深度图像先验(M-DIP),一种新型无监督重建框架,可实现加速的实时心脏MRI自由呼吸成像。M-DIP首先利用空间字典生成时变中间图像以捕捉对比度或内容变化,再通过时变形变场建模心脏与呼吸运动。与以往基于DIP的方法不同,M-DIP能同时捕捉生理运动与帧间内容变化,适用于多种动态应用。我们在模拟的MRXCAT电影幻影数据及真实患者的自由呼吸实时电影、单次激发延迟钆增强(LGE)和首过灌注数据上验证了M-DIP。与先进监督与无监督方法对比显示,其在幻影数据上获得更优图像质量指标,在体内电影与LGE数据上评分更高,灌注数据表现与另一DIP方法相当。M-DIP可在无需外部训练数据情况下实现高质量实时自由呼吸心脏MRI重建,其对生理运动与内容变化的建模能力使其在多种动态成像应用中极具潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool for assessing cardiac structure and function. However, traditional breath-held imaging protocols pose challenges for patients with arrhythmias or limited breath-holding capacity. This work aims to overcome these limitations by developing a reconstruction framework that enables high-quality imaging in free-breathing conditions for various dynamic cardiac MRI protocols. Multi-Dynamic Deep Image Prior (M-DIP), a novel unsupervised reconstruction framework for accelerated real-time cardiac MRI, is introduced. To capture contrast or content variation, M-DIP first employs a spatial dictionary to synthesize a time-dependent intermediate image. Then, this intermediate image is further refined using time-dependent deformation fields that model cardiac and respiratory motion. Unlike prior DIP-based methods, M-DIP simultaneously captures physiological motion and frame-to-frame content variations, making it applicable to a wide range of dynamic applications. We validate M-DIP using simulated MRXCAT cine phantom data as well as free-breathing real-time cine, single-shot late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and first-pass perfusion data from clinical patients. Comparative analyses against state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised approaches demonstrate M-DIP's performance and versatility. M-DIP achieved better image quality metrics on phantom data, higher reader scores on in-vivo cine and LGE data, and comparable scores on in-vivo perfusion data relative to another DIP-based approach. M-DIP enables high-quality reconstructions of real-time free-breathing cardiac MRI without requiring external training data. Its ability to model physiological motion and content variations makes it a promising approach for various dynamic imaging applications.
