用神经隐式表示加速脑部高分辨MRI,17分钟完成180微米分辨率成像。

Rapid Whole Brain Motion-robust Mesoscale In-vivo MR Imaging using Multi-scale Implicit Neural Representation

  • 基于多尺度神经隐式表示,从多视角厚层扫描中重建细节。
  • 在7T扫描仪上仅17分钟实现180微米各向同性分辨率,误差降低22.4%。
  • 适合需要快速、抗运动干扰的活体脑成像研究者。

高分辨率全脑活体磁共振成像在介观尺度仍面临扫描时间长、运动伪影和信噪比低的挑战。本文提出无需监督的旋转视图超分辨率(ROVER-MRI)框架,基于多尺度隐式神经表示(INR),可从多视角厚层采集中高效恢复精细解剖结构。该方法利用基于坐标的神经网络,在多个空间尺度上隐式连续编码图像结构,同时通过集成配准机制建模解剖连续性并校正视间运动。在离体猴脑数据和多个活体人脑数据集上的验证表明,相比双三次插值和最先进的正则化最小二乘超分辨率重建(LS-SRR),ROVER-MRI性能显著提升,扫描时间减少2倍。特别地,ROVER-MRI在7T扫描仪上仅用17分钟即实现全脑活体T2加权成像,分辨率180微米各向同性,相对误差比LS-SRR降低22.4%。此外,与时间匹配的3D GRE采集相比,其信噪比也得到改善。多个数据集的定量结果表明,不同超分辨率因子(5至11)下,重建图像清晰度更优。这些结果凸显了ROVER-MRI作为快速、精确、抗运动干扰的介观成像解决方案的巨大潜力,为神经影像研究带来显著优势。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

High-resolution whole-brain in vivo MR imaging at mesoscale resolutions remains challenging due to long scan durations, motion artifacts, and limited signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This study proposes Rotating-view super-resolution (ROVER)-MRI, an unsupervised framework based on multi-scale implicit neural representations (INR), enabling efficient recovery of fine anatomical details from multi-view thick-slice acquisitions. ROVER-MRI employs coordinate-based neural networks to implicitly and continuously encode image structures at multiple spatial scales, simultaneously modeling anatomical continuity and correcting inter-view motion through an integrated registration mechanism. Validation on ex-vivo monkey brain data and multiple in-vivo human datasets demonstrates substantially improved reconstruction performance compared to bicubic interpolation and state-of-the-art regularized least-squares super-resolution reconstruction (LS-SRR) with 2-fold reduction in scan time. Notably, ROVER-MRI achieves an unprecedented whole-brain in-vivo T2-weighted imaging at 180 micron isotropic resolution in only 17 minutes of scan time on a 7T scanner with 22.4% lower relative error compared to LS-SRR. We also demonstrate improved SNR using ROVER-MRI compared to a time-matched 3D GRE acquisition. Quantitative results on several datasets demonstrate better sharpness of the reconstructed images with ROVER-MRI for different super-resolution factors (5 to 11). These findings highlight ROVER-MRI's potential as a rapid, accurate, and motion-resilient mesoscale imaging solution, promising substantial advantages for neuroimaging studies.
