• Abstract: To accelerate MRI, the field of compressed sensing is traditionally concerned with optimizing the image quality after a partial undersampling of the measurable $\textit{k}$-space. In our work, we propose to change the focus from the quality of the reconstructed image to the quality of the downstream image analysis outcome. Specifically, we propose to optimize the patterns according to how well a sought-after pathology could be detected or localized in the reconstructed images. We find the optimal undersampling patterns in $\textit{k}$-space that maximize target value functions of interest in commonplace medical vision problems (reconstruction, segmentation, and classification) and propose a new iterative gradient sampling routine universally suitable for these tasks. We validate the proposed MRI acceleration paradigm on three classical medical datasets, demonstrating a noticeable improvement of the target metrics at the high acceleration factors (for the segmentation problem at $\times$16 acceleration, we report up to 12% improvement in Dice score over the other undersampling patterns).

  Key challenge in maximizing the benefits of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in clinical settings is to accelerate acquisition times without significantly degrading image quality.<n>This objective requires a balance between under-sampling the raw k-space measurements for faster acquisitions and gathering sufficient raw information for high-fidelity image reconstruction and analysis tasks.<n>We propose to use sequential Bayesian experimental design (BED) to provide an adaptive and task-dependent selection of the most informative measurements.

  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.

  Anomaly detection for Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) can be solved with unsupervised methods. We have proposed a slice-wise semi-supervised method for tumour detection based on the computation of a dissimilarity function in the latent space of a Variational AutoEncoder. We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.
