• Abstract summary: Deep neural networks have been applied to reconstruct undersampled k-space data and have shown improved reconstruction performance. This work proposes a novel framework to learn k-space sampling trajectories by considering it as an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) problem. Experiments were conducted on different in-viv datasets (textite.g., brain and knee images) acquired with different sequences.

• Abstract: The inherent slow imaging speed of Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) has spurred the development of various acceleration methods, typically through heuristically undersampling the MRI measurement domain known as k-space. Recently, deep neural networks have been applied to reconstruct undersampled k-space data and have shown improved reconstruction performance. While most of these methods focus on designing novel reconstruction networks or new training strategies for a given undersampling pattern, \textit{e.g.}, Cartesian undersampling or Non-Cartesian sampling, to date, there is limited research aiming to learn and optimize k-space sampling strategies using deep neural networks. This work proposes a novel optimization framework to learn k-space sampling trajectories by considering it as an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) problem that can be solved using neural ODE. In particular, the sampling of k-space data is framed as a dynamic system, in which neural ODE is formulated to approximate the system with additional constraints on MRI physics. In addition, we have also demonstrated that trajectory optimization and image reconstruction can be learned collaboratively for improved imaging efficiency and reconstruction performance. Experiments were conducted on different in-vivo datasets (\textit{e.g.}, brain and knee images) acquired with different sequences. Initial results have shown that our proposed method can generate better image quality in accelerated MRI than conventional undersampling schemes in Cartesian and Non-Cartesian acquisitions.

  A popular approach to accelerated MRI is to undersample the k-space data. While undersampling speeds up the scan procedure, it generates artifacts in the images, and advanced reconstruction algorithms are needed to produce artifact-free images. In this work, MRI reconstruction from undersampled data was carried out using an optimized neural network using a novel evolutionary neural architecture search algorithm.

  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.
