FINDER通过联合优化图像与磁场图,实现无需训练的无畸变扩散MRI重建。

FINDER: Zero-Shot Field-Integrated Network for Distortion-free EPI Reconstruction in Diffusion MRI

  • 将重建任务转化为图像与$B_{0}$场图的联合优化,引入物理引导的网络结构。
  • 在真实扫描数据上实现优于现有方法的几何保真度和图像质量。
  • 适合需要高精度扩散成像的临床研究与神经科学研究人员。

回波平面成像(EPI)仍是扩散MRI的核心序列,但其快速采样方案使其对$B_{0}$场不均匀性高度敏感,导致严重几何畸变。尽管深度学习已提升MRI重建性能,但将鲁棒的几何畸变校正集成到自监督框架中仍是一个未解决的问题。为此,我们提出FINDER(Field-Integrated Network for Distortion-free EPI Reconstruction),一种新颖的零样本、扫描特定框架,将重建重新定义为潜在图像与$B_{0}$场图的联合优化。具体而言,采用物理引导的展开网络,融合双域去噪器与虚拟线圈扩展以强化数据一致性。同时,利用基于空间坐标与隐式图像特征的隐式神经表示(INR)建模离共振场为连续可微函数。通过交替最小化策略,FINDER协同更新重建网络与场图,有效分离由磁敏感性引起的几何畸变与解剖结构。实验结果表明,相比最先进基线方法,FINDER在几何保真度和图像质量方面均有显著提升,为高质量扩散成像提供了稳健解决方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Echo-planar imaging (EPI) remains the cornerstone of diffusion MRI, but it is prone to severe geometric distortions due to its rapid sampling scheme that renders the sequence highly sensitive to $B_{0}$ field inhomogeneities. While deep learning has helped improve MRI reconstruction, integrating robust geometric distortion correction into a self-supervised framework remains an unmet need. To address this, we present FINDER (Field-Integrated Network for Distortion-free EPI Reconstruction), a novel zero-shot, scan-specific framework that reformulates reconstruction as a joint optimization of the underlying image and the $B_{0}$ field map. Specifically, we employ a physics-guided unrolled network that integrates dual-domain denoisers and virtual coil extensions to enforce robust data consistency. This is coupled with an Implicit Neural Representation (INR) conditioned on spatial coordinates and latent image features to model the off-resonance field as a continuous, differentiable function. Employing an alternating minimization strategy, FINDER synergistically updates the reconstruction network and the field map, effectively disentangling susceptibility-induced geometric distortions from anatomical structures. Experimental results demonstrate that FINDER achieves superior geometric fidelity and image quality compared to state-of-the-art baselines, offering a robust solution for high-quality diffusion imaging.
