Harnessing Magnitude-Only and Complex Measurements for Improved Dynamic MRI Reconstruction with Learned Priors

- 融合k空间幅值与复数测量,构建物理驱动的深度学习重建框架
- 在多种动态MRI数据上实现更少伪影、更锐利解剖结构和更好相位保持
- 适合需要高精度动态成像的临床研究与快速扫描应用
动态MRI重建常依赖欠采样的k空间复数测量。近年来稀疏相位恢复研究发现,仅使用幅值信息可提供互补信号恢复线索。然而,由于缺乏无需额外扫描时间即可获取有效幅值信息的实际场景,其在MRI中的应用仍不充分。本文研究了辅助k空间幅值信息在加速稳态动态MRI重建中的作用,发现其在时间帧间具有强一致性。基于此,提出$\mathbb{C}+ℓ\text{Mag}$方法,一种基于ADMM展开的幅值感知物理驱动深度学习重建模型。该方法引入二次平滑优化与动量更新机制,以应对幅值约束带来的非可微性和非凸性问题。在回溯式欠采样的心脏电影MRI和相位对比血流MRI数据集,以及前瞻性欠采样的实时心脏电影真实采集数据上,均优于传统PD-DL方法,表现为更强的伪影抑制、更清晰的解剖结构恢复及更好的相位信息保留,专家盲评进一步验证了其优越性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
MRI reconstruction methods for undersampled k-space data naturally utilize complex-valued measurements. Parallel developments in sparse phase retrieval have shown that magnitude-only measurements may provide complementary information for signal recovery. However, their use in MRI reconstruction remains largely unexplored, due to lack of practical settings where informative magnitude measurements can be obtained without additional scan time. In this work, we investigate the use of auxiliary k-space magnitude information for accelerated steady-state dynamic MRI reconstruction, and demonstrate strong consistency of k-space magnitudes across time-frames. Building on this observation, we propose $\mathbb{C}+\text{Mag}$, a magnitude-informed physics-driven deep learning reconstruction method. The proposed method employs an ADMM-based unrolling framework with a novel magnitude-aware data-fidelity formulation, where quadratically smoothed optimization and momentum-based updates are introduced to address the non-differentiability and non-convexity of the magnitude constraints. Experiments on retrospectively undersampled cine MRI and phase-contrast flow MRI datasets, as well as prospectively undersampled real-time cine MRI acquisitions, demonstrate improved artifact suppression, sharper anatomical recovery, and better preservation of phase information compared to conventional PD-DL methods, which is further supported through blinded expert reader evaluations.
