MIGA:Shared-Geometry Gaussian Representation with Implicit Amplitude Modeling for Accelerated 3D Multi-Echo MRI

MIGA is a scan‑specific framework for accelerated 3D multi‑echo MRI that uses shared anisotropic Gaussian geometry, a coordinate‑conditioned multi‑output amplitude network, and explicit echo‑specific phase variables. The method jointly optimizes all components from undersampled multi‑coil k‑space data without requiring fully sampled training data. Experiments demonstrate that MIGA outperforms existing methods across various imaging tasks and acceleration factors, especially under stronger undersampling, and offers a favorable quality‑cost balance among full‑volume multi‑echo reconstruction techniques.

Diffusion-Encoding Gaussian Field for Joint k-q dMRI Reconstruction

The paper introduces a subject‑specific spatial‑angular Gaussian field for self‑supervised joint k‑q diffusion MRI reconstruction. It uses shared 3D Gaussian primitives that provide local spatial support while each primitive carries a continuous q‑conditioned tensor‑residual response, allowing the signal at each location to be synthesized from overlapping primitive responses. Experiments on three HCP diffusion shells with various acceleration settings show consistent improvements in missing‑direction DWI reconstruction, tensor‑derived metrics, and principal diffusion orientation estimation.

PhyMRI-SR: Toward Physics-Aware MRI Image Super-Resolution

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) super-resolution is vital for improving diagnostic accessibility, yet most methods treat it as a deterministic mapping from a fixed low-resolution input to a high-resolution target. This overlooks a key property of MRI acquisition physics: spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are inherently coupled, making any given low-resolution scan merely one of many possible realizations under varying acquisition trade-offs.

Rendering Novel Views of MRI Using 3D Gaussian Splatting

The paper proposes using 3D Gaussian Splatting to reconstruct volumetric MRI data from non‑aligned scans, enabling the generation of novel view planes that are better aligned with spinal anatomy. These resampled images are then used to predict ordinal severity grades of localized stenosis, outperforming traditional Voxel Interpolation and Cubic B‑spline resampling methods. Across all stenosis conditions, the Gaussian Splatting approach yields more accurate diagnostic gradings than raw or conventionally resampled scans.

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

The paper introduces τ+C+Mag, a physics‑driven deep learning method that incorporates auxiliary k‑space magnitude information into accelerated steady‑state dynamic MRI reconstruction. By observing strong consistency of k‑space magnitudes across time‑frames, the authors develop an ADMM‑based unrolling framework with a magnitude‑aware data‑fidelity term, using quadratically smoothed optimization and momentum updates to handle non‑differentiability and non‑convexity. Experiments on retrospectively and prospectively undersampled cine and phase‑contrast flow MRI datasets show improved artifact suppression, sharper anatomical detail, and better phase preservation compared to conventional PD‑DL approaches, as confirmed by blinded expert readers.

Primitive Representation Learning for Unsupervised Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI Reconstruction

The paper presents a primitive‑based framework for reconstructing dynamic contrast‑enhanced MRI at high undersampling rates. It separates anatomy, contrast dynamics, and motion into distinct temporal basis functions, allowing a geometric interpretation of the data. The method matches conventional reconstruction quality and accurately extracts aorta and kidney enhancement curves, with a modular design that can accommodate additional dynamic factors and higher acceleration.
