• Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usually faces lengthy acquisition times, prompting the exploration of strategies such as parallel imaging (PI) to alleviate this problem by periodically skipping specific K-space lines and subsequently reconstructing high-quality images from the undersampled K-space. Implicit neural representation (INR) has recently emerged as a promising deep learning technique, characterizing objects as continuous functions of spatial coordinates typically parameterized by a multilayer perceptron (MLP). In this study, we propose a novel MRI PI reconstruction method that uses INR. Our approach represents reconstructed fully-sampled images as functions of voxel coordinates and prior feature vectors from undersampled images, addressing the generalization challenges of INR. Specifically, we introduce a scale-embedded encoder to generate scale-independent, voxel-specific features from MR images across various undersampling scales. These features are then concatenated with coordinate vectors to reconstruct fully-sampled MR images, facilitating multiple-scale reconstructions. To evaluate our method's performance, we conducted experiments using publicly available MRI datasets, comparing it with alternative reconstruction techniques. Our quantitative assessment demonstrates the superiority of our proposed method.

Recent researches demonstrate that, considering the redundancy between different contrasts or modalities, a target MRI modality under-sampled in the k-space can be better reconstructed with the helps from a fully-sampled sequence. In this paper, we integrate the spatial alignment network with reconstruction, to improve the quality of the reconstructed target modality.

  Undersampling the k-space in MRI allows saving precious acquisition time, yet results in an ill-posed inversion problem.

In this work, we address the sensitivity of the reconstruction problem to the bias field and propose to model it explicitly in the reconstruction.
