- Abstract summary: Real-world MRI acquisitions already contain inherent noise due to thermal fluctuations.
Common scenarios can lead to sub-optimal performance or complete failure of existing diffusion model-based reconstruction techniques.
We propose a posterior sampling strategy with a novel NoIse Level Adaptive Data Consistency (Nila-DC) operation.

- Abstract: In general, diffusion model-based MRI reconstruction methods incrementally
remove artificially added noise while imposing data consistency to reconstruct
the underlying images. However, real-world MRI acquisitions already contain
inherent noise due to thermal fluctuations. This phenomenon is particularly
notable when using ultra-fast, high-resolution imaging sequences for advanced
research, or using low-field systems favored by low- and middle-income
countries. These common scenarios can lead to sub-optimal performance or
complete failure of existing diffusion model-based reconstruction techniques.
Specifically, as the artificially added noise is gradually removed, the
inherent MRI noise becomes increasingly pronounced, making the actual noise
level inconsistent with the predefined denoising schedule and consequently
inaccurate image reconstruction. To tackle this problem, we propose a posterior
sampling strategy with a novel NoIse Level Adaptive Data Consistency (Nila-DC)
operation. Extensive experiments are conducted on two public datasets and an
in-house clinical dataset with field strength ranging from 0.3T to 3T, showing
that our method surpasses the state-of-the-art MRI reconstruction methods, and
is highly robust against various noise levels. The code will be released after
review.

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.

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.
