• Authors: Zhenghan Fang, Kuo-Wei Lai, Peter van Zijl, Xu Li, Jeremias Sulam
• Abstract summary: Susceptibility tensor imaging (STI) is an emerging magnetic resonance imaging technique that characterizes the anisotropic tissue magnetic susceptibility with a second-order tensor model. STI has the potential to provide information for the reconstruction of white matter fiber pathways and detection of myelin changes in the brain at mm resolution or less. However, the application of STI in vivo has been hindered by its cumbersome and time-consuming acquisition requirement of measuring susceptibility induced MR phase changes.

• Abstract: Susceptibility tensor imaging (STI) is an emerging magnetic resonance imaging technique that characterizes the anisotropic tissue magnetic susceptibility with a second-order tensor model. STI has the potential to provide information for both the reconstruction of white matter fiber pathways and detection of myelin changes in the brain at mm resolution or less, which would be of great value for understanding brain structure and function in healthy and diseased brain. However, the application of STI in vivo has been hindered by its cumbersome and time-consuming acquisition requirement of measuring susceptibility induced MR phase changes at multiple (usually more than six) head orientations. This complexity is enhanced by the limitation in head rotation angles due to physical constraints of the head coil. As a result, STI has not yet been widely applied in human studies in vivo. In this work, we tackle these issues by proposing an image reconstruction algorithm for STI that leverages data-driven priors. Our method, called DeepSTI, learns the data prior implicitly via a deep neural network that approximates the proximal operator of a regularizer function for STI. The dipole inversion problem is then solved iteratively using the learned proximal network. Experimental results using both simulation and in vivo human data demonstrate great improvement over state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of the reconstructed tensor image, principal eigenvector maps and tractography results, while allowing for tensor reconstruction with MR phase measured at much less than six different orientations. Notably, promising reconstruction results are achieved by our method from only one orientation in human in vivo, and we demonstrate a potential application of this technique for estimating lesion susceptibility anisotropy in patients with multiple sclerosis.

  Supervised deep learning methods have shown the ability to remove noise in images but require accurate ground truth.
