Anatomically Faithful Artifact Suppression in SENSE Accelerated Brain MRI

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The study introduces ART‑Net, an anatomy‑aware residual attention network designed to refine four‑fold accelerated SENSE brain MRI. In a prospective paired study of 80 participants, ART‑Net achieved the highest peak signal‑to‑noise ratio and structural similarity index among evaluated methods, and it preserved anatomical fidelity with superior Dice coefficients for medial temporal and whole‑brain structures. Radiologist assessments also indicated improved gradient fidelity, regional contrast, and overall structural quality.

Tissue-Mixture Entropy-Weighted Reconstruction for Partial-Volume-Aware Brain MRI Super-Resolution

The paper introduces AGW-PBR, a brain MRI super‑resolution method that emphasizes tissue‑transition regions affected by the partial‑volume effect. It uses a low‑resolution backbone guided by Sobel edges, soft latent‑basis assignment, and grid‑anchored warping, while training‑time weights are derived from tissue‑mixture entropy computed from registered T1/T2/PD images. Experiments on IXI T2‑weighted scans at 2×, 4×, and 6× show improved full‑image reconstruction and regional fidelity, and the backbone also performs well on fastMRI data without PVE supervision.

SliceBridge: context-consistent repair of corrupted slice intervals in T1-weighted MRI

SliceBridge is a new framework for repairing corrupted slice intervals in T1‑weighted MRI by using rectified flow matching conditioned on surrounding intact slices and their relative positions. It enforces through‑plane consistency by coupling slices within the interval through shared noise, flow time, and synchronized sampling, then reinserts the restored interval without altering other slices. In experiments on 9,877 brain MRIs and 581 external subjects, SliceBridge reduced slice‑to‑slice error by 32.9%–41.3% and improved SSIM across interval lengths, while lowering downstream segmentation volume estimation error from 1.95% to 1.05%.

Cross-Modality Structural Guidance in 3D Latent Diffusion for Robust FLAIR Super-Resolution

The paper introduces MR‑DiffuSR, a 3‑D latent diffusion framework that uses high‑resolution T1w structural priors to guide super‑resolution of thick‑slice FLAIR MRI scans. By applying cross‑modality structural swin attention and a mixed‑scale degradation strategy, the method avoids hallucinations and remains robust across varying slice thicknesses. On ADNI datasets, MR‑DiffuSR outperforms CNN and 2‑D diffusion baselines, achieving high PSNR, SSIM, and low LPIPS, and maintains strong white‑matter hyperintensity segmentation performance even at 7 mm equivalent slice thickness.
