  • 四倍加速下仍保持高精度,噪声更低且结构更清晰。
  • 仅需模拟数据训练,泛化性强,适合临床快速筛查。

3D快速静音多参数映射序列(MuPa-ZTE)是一种新型定量MRI(qMRI)采集方法,通过三维叶序采样实现近无声扫描,提升患者舒适度和运动鲁棒性,并基于采集的加权图像序列生成T1、T2和质子密度定量图。本文提出一种基于扩散模型的qMRI映射方法,融合深度生成模型与物理数据一致性约束,进一步提升映射性能,并支持额外的采集加速,可从四倍加速的MuPa-ZTE扫描(约1分钟)中获得高质量qMRI图。具体地,我们训练了去噪扩散概率模型(DDPM)将MuPa-ZTE图像序列映射为qMRI图,并在推理阶段引入MuPa-ZTE前向信号模型作为显式数据一致性(DC)约束。方法在合成数据、NISM/ISMRM幻影、健康志愿者及脑转移瘤患者中评估,结果表明该方法生成的3D qMRI图具有高精度、低噪声和良好结构保真度。值得注意的是,尽管仅在模拟数据上训练,其在真实扫描中也表现出良好泛化能力。将MuPa-ZTE采集与物理信息扩散模型结合,命名为q3-MuPa,是一个快速、安静、定量的多参数映射框架,展现出显著临床潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The 3D fast silent multi-parametric mapping sequence with zero echo time (MuPa-ZTE) is a novel quantitative MRI (qMRI) acquisition that enables nearly silent scanning by using a 3D phyllotaxis sampling scheme. MuPa-ZTE improves patient comfort and motion robustness, and generates quantitative maps of T1, T2, and proton density using the acquired weighted image series. In this work, we propose a diffusion model-based qMRI mapping method that leverages both a deep generative model and physics-based data consistency to further improve the mapping performance. Furthermore, our method enables additional acquisition acceleration, allowing high-quality qMRI mapping from a fourfold-accelerated MuPa-ZTE scan (approximately 1 minute). Specifically, we trained a denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) to map MuPa-ZTE image series to qMRI maps, and we incorporated the MuPa-ZTE forward signal model as an explicit data consistency (DC) constraint during inference. We compared our mapping method against a baseline dictionary matching approach and a purely data-driven diffusion model. The diffusion models were trained entirely on synthetic data generated from digital brain phantoms, eliminating the need for large real-scan datasets. We evaluated on synthetic data, a NISM/ISMRM phantom, healthy volunteers, and a patient with brain metastases. The results demonstrated that our method produces 3D qMRI maps with high accuracy, reduced noise and better preservation of structural details. Notably, it generalised well to real scans despite training on synthetic data alone. The combination of the MuPa-ZTE acquisition and our physics-informed diffusion model is termed q3-MuPa, a quick, quiet, and quantitative multi-parametric mapping framework, and our findings highlight its strong clinical potential.
