• Abstract summary: Lumbar spine problems are ubiquitous, motivating research into targeted imaging for treatment planning and guided interventions. 'thick slice MRI' prioritises faster imaging with high in-plane resolution but variable contrast and low through-plane resolution. We propose a latent space diffusion energy-based prior to leverage diffusion models, which exhibit high-quality image generation.

• Abstract: Lumbar spine problems are ubiquitous, motivating research into targeted imaging for treatment planning and guided interventions. While high resolution and high contrast CT has been the modality of choice, MRI can capture both bone and soft tissue without the ionizing radiation of CT albeit longer acquisition time. The critical trade-off between contrast quality and acquisition time has motivated 'thick slice MRI', which prioritises faster imaging with high in-plane resolution but variable contrast and low through-plane resolution. We investigate a recently developed post-acquisition pipeline which segments vertebrae from thick-slice acquisitions and uses a variational autoencoder to enhance quality after an initial 3D reconstruction. We instead propose a latent space diffusion energy-based prior to leverage diffusion models, which exhibit high-quality image generation. Crucially, we mitigate their high computational cost and low sample efficiency by learning an energy-based latent representation to perform the diffusion processes. Our resulting method outperforms existing approaches across metrics including Dice and VS scores, and more faithfully captures 3D features.

  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides high spatial resolution and excellent soft-tissue contrast without using harmful ionising radiation. MRI with high temporal resolution suffers from limited spatial resolution. Deep learning based super-resolution approaches have been proposed to mitigate this trade-off. This research addresses the problem by creating a deep learning model which attempts to learn both spatial and temporal relationships.
