• Abstract summary: We investigate the use of a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) architecture to exploit temporal correlations in cardiac MRI reconstruction. This is combined with a single-image super-resolution refinement module to improve single coil reconstruction by 4.4% in structural similarity and 3.9% in normalised mean square error. The proposed model demonstrates considerable enhancements compared to the baseline case and holds promising potential for further improving cardiac MRI reconstruction.

• Abstract: Cine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) allows for understanding of the heart's function and condition in a non-invasive manner. Undersampling of the $k$-space is employed to reduce the scan duration, thus increasing patient comfort and reducing the risk of motion artefacts, at the cost of reduced image quality. In this challenge paper, we investigate the use of a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) architecture to exploit temporal correlations in supervised cine cardiac MRI reconstruction. This is combined with a single-image super-resolution refinement module to improve single coil reconstruction by 4.4\% in structural similarity and 3.9\% in normalised mean square error compared to a plain CRNN implementation. We deploy a high-pass filter to our $\ell_1$ loss to allow greater emphasis on high-frequency details which are missing in the original data. The proposed model demonstrates considerable enhancements compared to the baseline case and holds promising potential for further improving cardiac MRI reconstruction.

  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.

  Off-resonance artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are visual distortions that occur when the actual resonant frequencies of spins within the imaging volume differ from the expected frequencies used to encode spatial information. We propose to resolve these artifacts by lifting the 2D MRI reconstruction problem to 3D, introducing an additional "spectral" dimension to model this off-resonance.
