- 适合医学成像、快速重建场景的科研与工程人员参考
过去几十年,基于模型的傅里叶成像重建方法因能轻松融入物理约束及先进正则化/机器学习先验而广受欢迎。主流方法是将连续图像表示为平移后的‘体素’基函数线性组合。尽管研究深入且广泛应用,该体素模型仍存在计算成本高、收敛慢及易产生伪影等长期问题。本文从新视角重新审视该模型,发现此前被忽视的新问题(如不理想逼近、环绕效应和零空间特性)。这些洞察促使我们提出一种更抗上述局限(旧有与新现)的新模型:基于频域基函数展开,而非标准的图像域体素方法。在非笛卡尔MRI重建场景中的演示结果表明,新模型可显著提升图像质量(减少伪影)并降低计算复杂度(加速运算、改善收敛)。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
For the past several decades, it has been popular to reconstruct Fourier imaging data using model-based approaches that can easily incorporate physical constraints and advanced regularization/machine learning priors. The most common modeling approach is to represent the continuous image as a linear combination of shifted "voxel" basis functions. Although well-studied and widely-deployed, this voxel-based model is associated with longstanding limitations, including high computational costs, slow convergence, and a propensity for artifacts. In this work, we reexamine this model from a fresh perspective, identifying new issues that may have been previously overlooked (including undesirable approximation, wrap-around, and nullspace characteristics). Our insights motivate us to propose a new model that is more resilient to the limitations (old and new) of the previous approach. Specifically, the new model is based on a Fourier-domain basis expansion rather than the standard image-domain voxel-based approach. Illustrative results, which are presented in the context of non-Cartesian MRI reconstruction, demonstrate that the new model enables improved image quality (reduced artifacts) and/or reduced computational complexity (faster computations and improved convergence).
