• Authors: Varun A. Kelkar and Mark A. Anastasio
• Abstract summary: This work proposes to use a style-based generative adversarial network (StyleGAN) to constrain an image reconstruction problem. An optimization problem is formulated in the intermediate latent-space of a StyleGAN, that is disentangled with respect to meaningful image attributes. A stylized numerical study inspired by MR imaging is designed, where the sought-after and the prior image are structurally similar.

• Abstract: Computed medical imaging systems require a computational reconstruction procedure for image formation. In order to recover a useful estimate of the object to-be-imaged when the recorded measurements are incomplete, prior knowledge about the nature of object must be utilized. In order to improve the conditioning of an ill-posed imaging inverse problem, deep learning approaches are being actively investigated for better representing object priors and constraints. This work proposes to use a style-based generative adversarial network (StyleGAN) to constrain an image reconstruction problem in the case where additional information in the form of a prior image of the sought-after object is available. An optimization problem is formulated in the intermediate latent-space of a StyleGAN, that is disentangled with respect to meaningful image attributes or "styles", such as the contrast used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Discrepancy between the sought-after and prior images is measured in the disentangled latent-space, and is used to regularize the inverse problem in the form of constraints on specific styles of the disentangled latent-space. A stylized numerical study inspired by MR imaging is designed, where the sought-after and the prior image are structurally similar, but belong to different contrast mechanisms. The presented numerical studies demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach as compared to classical approaches in the form of traditional metrics.

  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.
