• Abstract: Purpose To develop and evaluate a deep learning-based method (MC-Net) to suppress motion artifacts in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods MC-Net was derived from a UNet combined with a two-stage multi-loss function. T1-weighted axial brain images contaminated with synthetic motions were used to train the network. Evaluation used simulated T1 and T2-weighted axial, coronal, and sagittal images unseen during training, as well as T1-weighted images with motion artifacts from real scans. Performance indices included the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index measure (SSIM), and visual reading scores. Two clinical readers scored the images. Results The MC-Net outperformed other methods implemented in terms of PSNR and SSIM on the T1 axial test set. The MC-Net significantly improved the quality of all T1-weighted images (for all directions and for simulated as well as real motion artifacts), both on quantitative measures and visual scores. However, the MC-Net performed poorly on images of untrained contrast (T2-weighted). Conclusion The proposed two-stage multi-loss MC-Net can effectively suppress motion artifacts in brain MRI without compromising image context. Given the efficiency of the MC-Net (single image processing time ~40ms), it can potentially be used in real clinical settings. To facilitate further research, the code and trained model are available at https://github.com/MRIMoCo/DL_Motion_Correction.

  Motion artifacts in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) arise due to relatively long acquisition times. Traditional motion correction methods often fail to address severe motion, leading to distorted and unreliable results. We present an instance-wise motion correction pipeline that leverages motion-guided Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) Our method improves classification outcomes by at least $+1.5$ accuracy percentage points compared to motion-corrupted images.

Our experimental results demonstrate that MindFormer generates semantically consistent images and text across different subjects.

  Cycle Consistent Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) is implemented to yield high-field, high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. Images were utilized to train a Denoising Autoencoder (DAE) and a Cycle-GAN, with paired and unpaired cases. This work demonstrates the use of a generative deep learning model that can outperform classical DAEs to improve low-field MRI images and does not require image pairs.

  We propose an end-to-end deep learning framework that utilizes T1-weighted images (T1WIs) as auxiliary modalities to expedite T2WIs' acquisitions. We employ Optimal Transport (OT) to synthesize T2WIs by aligning T1WIs and performing cross-modal synthesis. We prove that the reconstructed T2WIs and the synthetic T2WIs become closer on the T2 image manifold with iterations increasing.
