• Abstract summary: Our study investigates SIRENs for time-varying 3-directional velocity fields measured in the aorta by 4D flow MRI. We trained our method on voxel coordinates and benchmarked our approach using synthetic measurements and a real 4D flow MRI scan. Our optimized SIREN architecture outperformed state-of-the-art techniques, producing denoised and super-resolved velocity fields from clinical data.

• Abstract: 4D flow MRI is a non-invasive imaging method that can measure blood flow velocities over time. However, the velocity fields detected by this technique have limitations due to low resolution and measurement noise. Coordinate-based neural networks have been researched to improve accuracy, with SIRENs being suitable for super-resolution tasks. Our study investigates SIRENs for time-varying 3-directional velocity fields measured in the aorta by 4D flow MRI, achieving denoising and super-resolution. We trained our method on voxel coordinates and benchmarked our approach using synthetic measurements and a real 4D flow MRI scan. Our optimized SIREN architecture outperformed state-of-the-art techniques, producing denoised and super-resolved velocity fields from clinical data. Our approach is quick to execute and straightforward to implement for novel cases, achieving 4D super-resolution.

  We develop a novel deep learning framework called the coarse-super-resolution-fine network (CoSF-Net) to achieve simultaneous motion estimation and excavating super-resolution in a unified model. Compared with existing networks and three state-of-the-art conventional algorithms, CoSF-Net not only accurately estimated the deformable vector fields between the respiratory phases of 4D-MRI but also simultaneously improved the spatial resolution of 4D-MRI with enhanced anatomic features.

  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides high spatial resolution and excellent soft-tissue contrast without using harmful ionising radiation. MRI with high temporal resolution suffers from limited spatial resolution. Deep learning based super-resolution approaches have been proposed to mitigate this trade-off. This research addresses the problem by creating a deep learning model which attempts to learn both spatial and temporal relationships.

  Changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics are closely related to the development of aortic regurgitation (AR) These metrics can be non-invasively obtained using four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) However, insufficient resolution often results from limitations in 4D flow MRI and complex AR hemodynamics. To address this, computational fluid dynamics simulations were transformed into synthetic 4D flow MRI data and used to train a variety of neural networks.

  Magnetic resonance velocimetry (MRV) is a non-invasive technique widely used in medicine and engineering to measure the velocity field of a fluid. Previous studies have required the shape of the boundary (for example, a blood vessel) to be known a priori. We present a physics-informed neural network that instead uses the noisy MRV data alone to infer the most likely boundary shape and de-noised velocity field.
