• Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is mainly limited by long scanning time and vulnerable to human tissue motion artifacts, in 3D clinical scenarios. Thus, k-space undersampling is used to accelerate the acquisition of MRI while leading to visually poor MR images. Recently, some studies 1) use effective undersampling patterns, or 2) design deep neural networks to improve the quality of resulting images. However, they are considered as two separate optimization strategies. In this paper, we propose a cross-domain network for MR image reconstruction, in a retrospective data-driven manner, under limited sampling rates. Our method can simultaneously obtain the optimal undersampling pattern (in k-space) and the reconstruction model, which are customized to the type of training data, by using an end-to-end learning strategy. We propose a 1D probabilistic undersampling layer, to obtain the optimal undersampling pattern and its probability distribution in a differentiable way. We propose a 1D inverse Fourier transform layer, which connects the Fourier domain and the image domain during the forward pass and the backpropagation. In addition, by training 3D fully-sampled k-space data and MR images with the traditional Euclidean loss, we discover the universal relationship between the probability distribution of the optimal undersampling pattern and its corresponding sampling rate. Experiments show that the quantitative and qualitative results of recovered MR images by our 1D probabilistic undersampling pattern obviously outperform those of several existing sampling strategies.

  In clinical practice, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with multiple contrasts is usually acquired in a single study. Recent researches demonstrate that, considering the redundancy between different contrasts or modalities, a target MRI modality under-sampled in the k-space can be better reconstructed with the helps from a fully-sampled sequence. In this paper, we integrate the spatial alignment network with reconstruction, to improve the quality of the reconstructed target modality.

  We propose a novel model, Multi-modal Gaussian Process Prior Variational Autoencoder (MGP-VAE), to impute one or more missing sub-modalities for a patient scan. MGP-VAE can leverage the Gaussian Process (GP) prior on the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to utilize the subjects/patients and sub-modalities correlations. We show the applicability of MGP-VAE on brain tumor segmentation where either, two, or three of four sub-modalities may be missing.
