完全无监督深度生成建模(FU-DGM)在压缩感知磁共振成像(CS-MRI)重建中具有巨大潜力。代表性方法如深度图像先验(DIP)和隐式神经表示(INR)利用架构偏差诱导图像空间的低维流形,以匹配观测过程。然而,由于逆问题高度病态,长期迭代会导致效率低下和噪声放大。本文受‘由易到难’认知原则启发,提出CogGen框架,将CS-MRI重建重构为分阶段反演问题。具体地,采用基于MRI感知双阈值加权准则的自步课程学习(SPCL)策略,自适应调控k空间测量的参与度。数据一致性残差阈值评估当前生成器拟合可靠性,而k空间半径阈值控制各阶段测量暴露程度,从而避免全程均匀拟合。理论上分析表明,早期阶段优先处理易拟合测量时,CogGen可降低局部充分迭代下界和累积噪声放大下界,解释其在有限迭代预算下的更优收敛行为与重建保真度。数值实验显示,CogGen-DIP与CogGen-INR两种实现均优于现有主流重建技术,涵盖无监督与有监督流程。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fully unsupervised deep generative modeling (FU-DGM) offers significant potential for compressively sampled magnetic resonance imaging (CS-MRI) reconstruction. Representative FU-DGM formulations, such as deep image prior (DIP) and implicit neural representation (INR), employ architectural bias to induce a low-dimensional manifold in the image space that aligns with the forward observation. However, as the underlying inverse system is highly ill-posed, prolonged iterative fitting in FU-DGM typically leads to poor efficiency and noise amplification. In this paper, guided by the cognitive principle of easy-to-hard learning, we propose CogGen, an FU-DGM framework that reformulates CS-MRI reconstruction as a staged inversion problem. Specifically, CogGen implements an self-paced curriculum learning (SPCL)-driven progressive scheduling strategy through an MRI-aware dual-threshold weighting criterion, which adaptively regulates k-space measurement participation. The data-consistency residual thresholding evaluates the fitting reliability of the current generator, while the k-space radius thresholding controls stage-wise measurement exposure, thereby avoiding uniform fitting throughout optimization. Theoretically, our analysis shows that, when early stages favor easy-to-fit measurements, CogGen yields a reduced local sufficient-iteration bound and a smaller cumulative noise-amplification bound, explaining the improved convergence behavior and reconstruction fidelity of CogGen within a finite iteration budget. Numerical experiments demonstrate that both CogGen instantiations, CogGen-DIP and CogGen-INR, achieve superior performance over prevailing CS-MRI reconstruction techniques, including unsupervised and supervised pipelines.
