利用幅度与复数测量结合学习先验提升动态磁共振成像重建性能
文章背景与核心概要
磁共振成像(MRI)重建通常依赖于欠采样的复数值 \(k\) 空间测量。虽然稀疏相位恢复表明纯幅度测量可以提供互补的信号恢复信息,但由于传统上需要额外的扫描时间,它们在 MRI 中的应用在很大程度上被忽视了。
本文引入了 \(\mathbb{C}+\text{Mag}\),这是一个专为加速稳态动态 MRI 量身定制的、融合幅度信息的物理驱动深度学习重建框架。通过利用各帧之间 \(k\) 空间幅度的强大时间一致性,该方法集成了一个基于 ADMM(交替方向乘子法)展开的框架,并配备了新颖的幅度感知数据保真度公式。为了克服幅度约束固有的非可微性和非凸性,该方法采用了二次平滑优化和基于动量的更新。
在回顾性欠采样电影(cine)和相衬血流 MRI,以及前瞻性欠采样实时电影 MRI 采集上的实验验证表明,与传统的物理驱动深度学习方法相比,该方法表现出更优的伪影抑制能力、增强的解剖清晰度,并保留了相位信息。盲法专家读片评估进一步验证了这些发现。

Summary
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction typically relies on undersampled complex-valued \(k\)-space measurements. While sparse phase retrieval suggests that magnitude-only measurements can offer complementary signal recovery information, they have been largely underutilized in MRI due to the traditional need for additional scan time.
This paper introduces \(\mathbb{C}+\text{Mag}\), a magnitude-informed, physics-driven deep learning reconstruction framework tailored for accelerated steady-state dynamic MRI. By leveraging the strong temporal consistency of \(k\)-space magnitudes across frames, the method integrates an ADMM-based unrolling framework equipped with a novel magnitude-aware data-fidelity formulation. To overcome the non-differentiability and non-convexity inherent to magnitude constraints, the approach utilizes quadratically smoothed optimization and momentum-based updates.
Experimental validations on retrospectively undersampled cine and phase-contrast flow MRI, alongside prospectively undersampled real-time cine MRI acquisitions, demonstrate superior artifact suppression, enhanced anatomical sharpness, and preserved phase information relative to conventional physics-driven deep learning methods. Blinded expert reader evaluations further validate these findings.
