用自监督学习从未充分采样的心脏MRI中提取通用特征,提升重建质量。
Self-supervised feature learning for cardiac Cine MR image reconstruction
- 在未充分采样图像上训练自监督特征提取器,学习对采样方式不敏感的特征。
- 在16倍回溯加速下性能媲美甚至超过有监督方法,有效去除伪影。
- 适合临床真实场景中难以获取全采样数据的研究者和医生使用。
我们提出一种自监督特征学习辅助重建(SSFL-Recon)框架,以解决现有监督学习方法在磁共振成像(MRI)重建中的局限性。尽管基于深度学习的方法表现优异,但多数需要全采样图像进行训练,而实际中因呼吸或器官运动导致采集时间过长,难以实现。此外,几乎所有全采样数据均来自轻微加速数据的常规重建,可能限制性能上限。临床中大量不同加速比的未充分采样数据因而被闲置。为此,我们首先在未充分采样图像上训练自监督特征提取器,学习采样无关特征;随后将预训练特征嵌入自监督重建网络,辅助去伪影。回顾性实验在自建2D心脏动态MRI数据集上进行,涵盖91名心血管患者和38名健康受试者。结果表明,所提框架优于现有自监督重建方法,在高达16倍回溯加速下表现与监督学习相当甚至更优。特征学习策略能有效提取全局表征,有助于去伪影并增强重建泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We propose a self-supervised feature learning assisted reconstruction (SSFL-Recon) framework for MRI reconstruction to address the limitation of existing supervised learning methods. Although recent deep learning-based methods have shown promising performance in MRI reconstruction, most require fully-sampled images for supervised learning, which is challenging in practice considering long acquisition times under respiratory or organ motion. Moreover, nearly all fully-sampled datasets are obtained from conventional reconstruction of mildly accelerated datasets, thus potentially biasing the achievable performance. The numerous undersampled datasets with different accelerations in clinical practice, hence, remain underutilized. To address these issues, we first train a self-supervised feature extractor on undersampled images to learn sampling-insensitive features. The pre-learned features are subsequently embedded in the self-supervised reconstruction network to assist in removing artifacts. Experiments were conducted retrospectively on an in-house 2D cardiac Cine dataset, including 91 cardiovascular patients and 38 healthy subjects. The results demonstrate that the proposed SSFL-Recon framework outperforms existing self-supervised MRI reconstruction methods and even exhibits comparable or better performance to supervised learning up to $16\times$ retrospective undersampling. The feature learning strategy can effectively extract global representations, which have proven beneficial in removing artifacts and increasing generalization ability during reconstruction.
