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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

FlowMoDL: Model-Based Deep Learning with Conjugate-Gradient Data Consistency for Highly Accelerated 4D Flow MRI Reconstruction

FlowMoDL is an unrolled neural network designed for highly accelerated 4D flow MRI reconstruction, optimizing both anatomical magnitude and phase-derived velocity accuracy. It alternates a learned (3+1)D spatiotemporal denoiser with conjugate‑gradient data‑consistency updates, using a dual‑pathway conditioning scheme to handle acceleration factors from 10× to 50×. Trained with a deep‑supervision composite loss that penalizes velocity magnitude and angular errors, FlowMoDL outperforms classical and deep‑learning baselines on the multi‑center CMRx4DFlow dataset, achieving superior gradient‑step efficiency and robust convergence across all acceleration factors.

Data-Efficient Networks for Multi-Contrast MRI Reconstruction based on a Generalized Content/Style Prior

The paper introduces CoSMo-RecNet, a modular framework for multi-contrast MRI reconstruction that operates effectively in low-data regimes. It leverages a reusable content/style prior learned from large, unpaired multi-contrast image datasets, allowing a lightweight unrolled network to refine reconstructions using only a few task‑specific training samples. Experiments on low‑field 0.3 T and ultra‑low‑field 47 mT datasets demonstrate that CoSMo-RecNet outperforms parameter‑matched MoDL, classical reconstruction, transfer learning, and zero‑shot methods, achieving higher quality with as few as five training subjects.

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.
