用注意力机制重建胎儿心脏动态MRI,解决运动伪影和加速采样难题。
DCRA-Net: Attention-Enabled Reconstruction Model for Dynamic Fetal Cardiac MRI
- 融合时空注意力与频域表示,从加速采集数据中恢复心肌动态。
- 在8倍加速下,胎儿图像峰值信噪比达38,成人达35,优于对比方法。
- 适合胎儿心脏成像研究者,尤其关注高动态、低分辨率数据重建。
胎儿心脏磁共振成像因胎心率快且胎儿运动不可控而面临挑战,需在大视场范围内实现高时空分辨率。本文提出动态心脏重建注意力网络(DCRA-Net),通过空间与时间域注意力机制及数据的时频表示,从高度加速的自由运行(非门控)MRI中重建胎儿心脏动态。模型在42例胎儿和153例成人受试者的回顾性欠采样复数型心脏MRI上训练,并在14例胎儿和39例成人数据上评估,对比了L+S与k-GIN方法在8倍欠采样下的表现。无论规则网格还是中心加权随机欠采样,本方法均优于对比方法。欠采样导致的混叠信号被有效消除,心肌空间细节与时间动态均以高保真度恢复。使用网格欠采样、数据一致性与时频表示时性能最优,胎儿病例PSNR达38,成人病例为35。代码已公开于https://github.com/denproc/DCRA-Net。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dynamic fetal heart magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents unique challenges due to the fast heart rate of the fetus compared to adult subjects and uncontrolled fetal motion. This requires high temporal and spatial resolutions over a large field of view, in order to encompass surrounding maternal anatomy. In this work, we introduce Dynamic Cardiac Reconstruction Attention Network (DCRA-Net) - a novel deep learning model that employs attention mechanisms in spatial and temporal domains and temporal frequency representation of data to reconstruct the dynamics of the fetal heart from highly accelerated free-running (non-gated) MRI acquisitions. DCRA-Net was trained on retrospectively undersampled complex-valued cardiac MRIs from 42 fetal subjects and separately from 153 adult subjects, and evaluated on data from 14 fetal and 39 adult subjects respectively. Its performance was compared to L+S and k-GIN methods in both fetal and adult cases for an undersampling factor of 8x. The proposed network performed better than the comparators for both fetal and adult data, for both regular lattice and centrally weighted random undersampling. Aliased signals due to the undersampling were comprehensively resolved, and both the spatial details of the heart and its temporal dynamics were recovered with high fidelity. The highest performance was achieved when using lattice undersampling, data consistency and temporal frequency representation, yielding PSNR of 38 for fetal and 35 for adult cases. Our method is publicly available at https://github.com/denproc/DCRA-Net.
