  • FPGA边缘设备上用8位复数量化+去冗余FFT,提升硬件效率
  • 重建质量媲美传统方法,计算速度显著提升
  • 适合资源受限的临床设备部署,推动高分辨率MRI实用化

物理驱动的人工智能(PD-AI)重建方法已成为加速MRI扫描的前沿技术,可实现更高的空间和时间分辨率。然而,高分辨率扫描产生海量数据,带来传输、存储和实时处理挑战,尤其在功能MRI中,数百次体积分层进一步加剧负担。基于FPGA的边缘计算为在MRI传感器附近实现PD-AI重建提供了可能,能有效缓解数据传输与存储瓶颈。但需对PD-AI模型进行硬件优化,包括量化和避免传统FFT计算带来的开销。本文提出一种面向FPGA边缘计算设备的新型PD-AI MRI重建方法,采用8位复数数据量化并消除冗余的FFT/IFFT操作。实验表明,该策略在保持重建质量与传统PD-AI相当的同时,显著提升计算效率,并优于标准临床方法。本方法为资源受限设备上的高分辨率MRI重建提供了可行性,具备实际部署潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Physics-driven artificial intelligence (PD-AI) reconstruction methods have emerged as the state-of-the-art for accelerating MRI scans, enabling higher spatial and temporal resolutions. However, the high resolution of these scans generates massive data volumes, leading to challenges in transmission, storage, and real-time processing. This is particularly pronounced in functional MRI, where hundreds of volumetric acquisitions further exacerbate these demands. Edge computing with FPGAs presents a promising solution for enabling PD-AI reconstruction near the MRI sensors, reducing data transfer and storage bottlenecks. However, this requires optimization of PD-AI models for hardware efficiency through quantization and bypassing traditional FFT-based approaches, which can be a limitation due to their computational demands. In this work, we propose a novel PD-AI computational MRI approach optimized for FPGA-based edge computing devices, leveraging 8-bit complex data quantization and eliminating redundant FFT/IFFT operations. Our results show that this strategy improves computational efficiency while maintaining reconstruction quality comparable to conventional PD-AI methods, and outperforms standard clinical methods. Our approach presents an opportunity for high-resolution MRI reconstruction on resource-constrained devices, highlighting its potential for real-world deployment.
