• Abstract summary: Cycle-guided Denoising Diffusion Probability Model (CG-DDPM) for cross-modality MRI synthesis. Two DDPMs condition each other to generate synthetic images from two different MRI pulse sequences. Two DDPMs exchange random latent noise in the reverse processes, which helps to regularize both DDPMs and generate matching images in two modalities.

• Abstract: This study aims to develop a novel Cycle-guided Denoising Diffusion Probability Model (CG-DDPM) for cross-modality MRI synthesis. The CG-DDPM deploys two DDPMs that condition each other to generate synthetic images from two different MRI pulse sequences. The two DDPMs exchange random latent noise in the reverse processes, which helps to regularize both DDPMs and generate matching images in two modalities. This improves image-to-image translation ac-curacy. We evaluated the CG-DDPM quantitatively using mean absolute error (MAE), multi-scale structural similarity index measure (MSSIM), and peak sig-nal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), as well as the network synthesis consistency, on the BraTS2020 dataset. Our proposed method showed high accuracy and reliable consistency for MRI synthesis. In addition, we compared the CG-DDPM with several other state-of-the-art networks and demonstrated statistically significant improvements in the image quality of synthetic MRIs. The proposed method enhances the capability of current multimodal MRI synthesis approaches, which could contribute to more accurate diagnosis and better treatment planning for patients by synthesizing additional MRI modalities.

  DCE-MRI involves the administration of a Gadolinium based (Gad) contrast agent, which is associated with a risk of toxicity in the body. Previous deep learning approaches that synthesize DCE-MR images employ unimodal non-contrast or low-dose contrast MRI images lacking focus on the local perfusion information within the anatomy of interest. We propose AAD-DCE, a generative adversarial network (GAN) with an aggregated attention discriminator module consisting of global and local discriminators.

  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 prove that the reconstructed T2WIs and the synthetic T2WIs become closer on the T2 image manifold with iterations increasing.
