• Abstract: Motion artifact reduction is one of the important research topics in MR imaging, as the motion artifact degrades image quality and makes diagnosis difficult. Recently, many deep learning approaches have been studied for motion artifact reduction. Unfortunately, most existing models are trained in a supervised manner, requiring paired motion-corrupted and motion-free images, or are based on a strict motion-corruption model, which limits their use for real-world situations. To address this issue, here we present an annealed score-based diffusion model for MRI motion artifact reduction. Specifically, we train a score-based model using only motion-free images, and then motion artifacts are removed by applying forward and reverse diffusion processes repeatedly to gradually impose a low-frequency data consistency. Experimental results verify that the proposed method successfully reduces both simulated and in vivo motion artifacts, outperforming the state-of-the-art deep learning methods.

  This paper introduces MAsked MOtion Correction (MAMOC), a novel method to address the issue of Retrospective Artifact Correction (RAC) in motion-affected MRI brain scans. MAMOC uses masked autoencoding self-supervision, transfer learning and test-time prediction to efficiently remove motion artifacts, producing high-fidelity, native-resolution scans. This work is the first to evaluate motion correction in MRI scans using real motion data on a public dataset, showing that MAMOC achieves improved performance over existing motion correction methods.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.

  Motion artifact severely degrades image quality, reduces examination efficiency, and makes accurate diagnosis difficult. Previous methods often relied on implicit models for artifact correction, resulting in biases in modeling the artifact formation mechanism. We incorporate the artifact generation mechanism to reestablish the relationship between artifacts and anatomical content in the image domain.

  Atmospheric turbulence causes significant degradation to image quality by introducing blur and geometric distortion.

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have recently gained some traction because of their stable training process and their ability to generate high quality images.

The method takes the best of both worlds: the optimization-based routine iteratively executes the blind demotion and deep learning-based prior penalizes for unrealistic restorations and speeds up the convergence.
