用自监督+监督学习联合重建和去噪低场MRI,提升图像质量。
Hybrid Learning: A Novel Combination of Self-Supervised and Supervised Learning for Joint MRI Reconstruction and Denoising in Low-Field MRI
- 先用自监督生成伪参考图,再用伪图指导监督训练。
- 在不同加速率、噪声水平下均优于纯自监督或含噪监督方法。
- 适合低场MRI且支持任意采样方式,临床应用潜力大。
深度学习在MRI重建中展现出巨大潜力,但传统监督学习需高质量高信噪比参考图像,这在低场MRI中难以获得。自监督学习虽无需真实参考图,但在低信噪比下重建性能下降。为此,我们提出混合学习框架,分两阶段实现联合重建与去噪:第一阶段对全采样低信噪比数据使用自监督学习生成更高质量的伪参考图;第二阶段以这些伪参考图为目标,对欠采样噪声数据进行监督训练。该方法在肺部和脑部不同场强的模拟与真实低场MRI实验中验证,无论在不同加速度、噪声水平或采集方式(笛卡尔与非笛卡尔)下,均显著优于标准自监督及含噪监督学习,实现更高的结构相似性(SSIM)与更低的归一化均方误差(NMSE)。该方法为缺乏高信噪比参考图像时的深度重建模型训练提供有效方案,有助于推动深度学习重建在低场MRI中的临床应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep learning has demonstrated strong potential for MRI reconstruction. However, conventional supervised learning requires high-quality, high-SNR references for network training, which are often difficult or impossible to obtain in different scenarios, particularly in low-field MRI. Self-supervised learning provides an alternative by removing the need for training references, but its reconstruction performance can degrade when the baseline SNR is low. To address these limitations, we propose hybrid learning, a two-stage training framework that integrates self-supervised and supervised learning for joint MRI reconstruction and denoising when only low-SNR training references are available. Hybrid learning is implemented in two sequential stages. In the first stage, self-supervised learning is applied to fully sampled low-SNR data to generate higher-quality pseudo-references. In the second stage, these pseudo-references are used as targets for supervised learning to reconstruct and denoise undersampled noisy data. The proposed technique was evaluated in multiple experiments involving simulated and real low-field MRI in the lung and brain at different field strengths. Hybrid learning consistently improved image quality over both standard self-supervised learning and supervised learning with noisy training references at different acceleration rates, noise levels, and field strengths, achieving higher SSIM and lower NMSE. The hybrid learning approach is effective for both Cartesian and non-Cartesian acquisitions. Hybrid learning provides an effective solution for training deep MRI reconstruction models in the absence of high-SNR references. By improving image quality in low-SNR settings, particularly for low-field MRI, it holds promise for broader clinical adoption of deep learning-based reconstruction methods.
