利用重复扫描数据实现低场MRI自监督去噪,无需真实图像参考。

Self-Supervised Noise Adaptive MRI Denoising via Repetition to Repetition (Rep2Rep) Learning

  • 用两次重复扫描数据作为输入和目标,训练网络去噪。
  • 在合成脑影像和0.55T前列腺影像上表现优于现有方法。
  • 可适应不同噪声水平,适合临床低场MRI快速成像场景。

本研究提出一种新型自监督噪声自适应磁共振成像(MRI)去噪框架——重复到重复(Rep2Rep)学习,适用于低场(<1T)MRI应用。Rep2Rep学习扩展了Noise2Noise框架,通过两个重复的MRI扫描数据进行训练:一个作为输入,另一个作为目标,无需依赖真实图像作为参考。该方法引入噪声自适应训练机制,使去噪模型能在不同噪声水平间泛化,并支持任意数量重复扫描的灵活推理。在合成脑部MRI和0.55T前列腺MRI数据集上进行了评估,与监督学习及蒙特卡洛斯蒂恩无偏风险估计(MC-SURE)方法对比。结果显示,Rep2Rep在合成数据和0.55T MRI数据上均优于MC-SURE;在合成脑影像中,其去噪效果接近监督学习,尤其在保留结构细节和减少残余噪声方面更优;在0.55T前列腺影像中,放射科医生阅读研究显示,对2次平均后的去噪图像偏好度高于8次平均的原始噪声图像。此外,该方法对训练与推理阶段噪声水平差异具有鲁棒性,具备实际应用潜力。结论表明,Rep2Rep学习通过利用常规采集的多重复扫描数据,实现了低场MRI的有效自监督去噪,其噪声自适应能力使模型可在不同信噪比(SNR)环境下泛化,且无需干净参考图像,是提升低场MRI图像质量与扫描效率的有力工具。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Purpose: This work proposes a novel self-supervised noise-adaptive image denoising framework, called Repetition to Repetition (Rep2Rep) learning, for low-field (<1T) MRI applications. Methods: Rep2Rep learning extends the Noise2Noise framework by training a neural network on two repeated MRI acquisitions, using one repetition as input and another as target, without requiring ground-truth data. It incorporates noise-adaptive training, enabling denoising generalization across varying noise levels and flexible inference with any number of repetitions. Performance was evaluated on both synthetic noisy brain MRI and 0.55T prostate MRI data, and compared against supervised learning and Monte Carlo Stein's Unbiased Risk Estimator (MC-SURE). Results: Rep2Rep learning outperforms MC-SURE on both synthetic and 0.55T MRI datasets. On synthetic brain data, it achieved denoising quality comparable to supervised learning and surpassed MC-SURE, particularly in preserving structural details and reducing residual noise. On the 0.55T prostate MRI dataset, a reader study showed radiologists preferred Rep2Rep-denoised 2-average images over 8-average noisy images. Rep2Rep demonstrated robustness to noise-level discrepancies between training and inference, supporting its practical implementation. Conclusion: Rep2Rep learning offers an effective self-supervised denoising for low-field MRI by leveraging routinely acquired multi-repetition data. Its noise-adaptivity enables generalization to different SNR regimes without clean reference images. This makes Rep2Rep learning a promising tool for improving image quality and scan efficiency in low-field MRI.
