• Abstract: Multi-contrast MRI (MC-MRI) captures multiple complementary imaging modalities to aid in radiological decision-making. Given the need for lowering the time cost of multiple acquisitions, current deep accelerated MRI reconstruction networks focus on exploiting the redundancy between multiple contrasts. However, existing works are largely supervised with paired data and/or prohibitively expensive fully-sampled MRI sequences. Further, reconstruction networks typically rely on convolutional architectures which are limited in their capacity to model long-range interactions and may lead to suboptimal recovery of fine anatomical detail. To these ends, we present a dual-domain self-supervised transformer (DSFormer) for accelerated MC-MRI reconstruction. DSFormer develops a deep conditional cascade transformer (DCCT) consisting of several cascaded Swin transformer reconstruction networks (SwinRN) trained under two deep conditioning strategies to enable MC-MRI information sharing. We further present a dual-domain (image and k-space) self-supervised learning strategy for DCCT to alleviate the costs of acquiring fully sampled training data. DSFormer generates high-fidelity reconstructions which experimentally outperform current fully-supervised baselines. Moreover, we find that DSFormer achieves nearly the same performance when trained either with full supervision or with our proposed dual-domain self-supervision.

  The key to dynamic or multi-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction lies in exploring inter-frame or inter-contrast information. We propose a two-stage MRI reconstruction pipeline to address these limitations. Our proposed method significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-art accelerated MRI reconstruction methods.

We establish a novel Transformer architecture, called Cross-modality high-frequency Transformer (Cohf-T), to introduce such priors into super-resolving the low-resolution images.

  Multi-contrast super-resolution (SR) reconstruction is promising to yield SR images with higher quality.

We propose a novel network to address these problems by developing a set of innovative Transformer-empowered multi-scale contextual matching and aggregation techniques.

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.
