• Title: Denoising Simulated Low-Field MRI (70mT) using Denoising Autoencoders (DAE) and Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks (Cycle-GAN)
• Authors: Fernando Vega, Abdoljalil Addeh, M. Ethan MacDonald
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: In this work, a denoising Cycle-GAN (Cycle Consistent Generative Adversarial Network) is implemented to yield high-field, high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images from simulated low-field, low resolution, low SNR MRI images. Resampling and additive Rician noise were used to simulate low-field MRI. Images were utilized to train a Denoising Autoencoder (DAE) and a Cycle-GAN, with paired and unpaired cases. Both networks were evaluated using SSIM and PSNR image quality metrics. 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.

  Compressed Sensing MRI reconstructs images of the body's internal anatomy from undersampled and compressed measurements. Deep neural networks have shown great potential for reconstructing high-quality images from highly undersampled measurements. We propose a unified model that is robust to different subsampling patterns and image resolutions in CS-MRI.
