• Abstract: In-scanner motion degrades the quality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) thereby reducing its utility in the detection of clinically relevant abnormalities. We introduce a deep learning-based MRI artifact reduction model (DMAR) to localize and correct head motion artifacts in brain MRI scans. Our approach integrates the latest advances in object detection and noise reduction in Computer Vision. Specifically, DMAR employs a two-stage approach: in the first, degraded regions are detected using the Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD), and in the second, the artifacts within the found regions are reduced using a convolutional autoencoder (CAE). We further introduce a set of novel data augmentation techniques to address the high dimensionality of MRI images and the scarcity of available data. As a result, our model was trained on a large synthetic dataset of 225,000 images generated from 375 whole brain T1-weighted MRI scans. DMAR visibly reduces image artifacts when applied to both synthetic test images and 55 real-world motion-affected slices from 18 subjects from the multi-center Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) study. Quantitatively, depending on the level of degradation, our model achieves a 27.8%-48.1% reduction in RMSE and a 2.88--5.79 dB gain in PSNR on a 5000-sample set of synthetic images. For real-world artifact-affected scans from ABIDE, our model reduced the variance of image voxel intensity within artifact-affected brain regions (p = 0.014).

  This study presents an innovative transfer learning method for automated quality control of 3D gradient echo T1-weighted brain MRIs within a clinical data warehouse. We first intentionally corrupt images from research datasets by inducing poorer contrast, adding noise and introducing motion artefacts. Three artefact-specific models are pre-trained using these corrupted images to detect distinct types of artefacts.

  Off-resonance artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are visual distortions that occur when the actual resonant frequencies of spins within the imaging volume differ from the expected frequencies used to encode spatial information. We propose to resolve these artifacts by lifting the 2D MRI reconstruction problem to 3D, introducing an additional "spectral" dimension to model this off-resonance.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.
