• Abstract: MRI is an inherently slow process, which leads to long scan time for high-resolution imaging. The speed of acquisition can be increased by ignoring parts of the data (undersampling). Consequently, this leads to the degradation of image quality, such as loss of resolution or introduction of image artefacts. This work aims to reconstruct highly undersampled Cartesian or radial MR acquisitions, with better resolution and with less to no artefact compared to conventional techniques like compressed sensing. In recent times, deep learning has emerged as a very important area of research and has shown immense potential in solving inverse problems, e.g. MR image reconstruction. In this paper, a deep learning based MR image reconstruction framework is proposed, which includes a modified regularised version of ResNet as the network backbone to remove artefacts from the undersampled image, followed by data consistency steps that fusions the network output with the data already available from undersampled k-space in order to further improve reconstruction quality. The performance of this framework for various undersampling patterns has also been tested, and it has been observed that the framework is robust to deal with various sampling patterns, even when mixed together while training, and results in very high quality reconstruction, in terms of high SSIM (highest being 0.990$\pm$0.006 for acceleration factor of 3.5), while being compared with the fully sampled reconstruction. It has been shown that the proposed framework can successfully reconstruct even for an acceleration factor of 20 for Cartesian (0.968$\pm$0.005) and 17 for radially (0.962$\pm$0.012) sampled data. Furthermore, it has been shown that the framework preserves brain pathology during reconstruction while being trained on healthy subjects.

  We propose an invertible sharpening network (InvSharpNet) to improve the visual quality of MRI reconstructions. Unlike the traditional methods that learn to map the input data to the ground truth, InvSharpNet adapts a backward training strategy that learns a blurring transform. Experiments on various MRI datasets demonstrate that InvSharpNet can improve reconstruction sharpness with few artifacts.

  We propose a data-driven sampler using a convolutional neural network, MNet, to provide object-specific sampling patterns adaptive to each scanned object. The network observes very limited low-frequency k-space data for each object and rapidly predicts the desired undersampling pattern. Experimental results on the fastMRI knee dataset demonstrate the ability of the proposed learned undersampling network to generate object-specific masks at fourfold and eightfold acceleration.

In our MANet, the representations from the fully sampled auxiliary and undersampled target modalities are learned independently through a specific network. Our MANet follows a hybrid domain learning framework, which allows it to simultaneously recover the frequency signal in the $k$-space domain.

  Undersampling the k-space in MRI allows saving precious acquisition time, yet results in an ill-posed inversion problem. Deep learning schemes are susceptible to differences between the training data and the image to be reconstructed at test time. In this work, we address the sensitivity of the reconstruction problem to the bias field and propose to model it explicitly in the reconstruction.
