• Abstract: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging is a diagnostic tool used in modern medicine; however, its output can be affected by motion artefacts and may be limited by equipment. This research focuses on MRI image quality enhancement using two efficient Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) models: SOUP-GAN and CSR-GAN. In both models, meaningful architectural modifications were introduced. The generator and discriminator of each were further deepened by adding convolutional layers and were enhanced in filter sizes as well. The LeakyReLU activation function was used to improve gradient flow, and hyperparameter tuning strategies were applied, including a reduced learning rate and an optimal batch size. Moreover, spectral normalisation was proposed to address mode collapse and improve training stability. The experiment shows that CSR-GAN has better performance in reconstructing the image with higher frequency details and reducing noise compared to other methods, with an optimised PSNR of 34.6 and SSIM of 0.89. However, SOUP-GAN performed the best in terms of delivering less noisy images with good structures, achieving a PSNR of 34.4 and SSIM of 0.83. The obtained results indicate that the proposed enhanced GAN model can be a useful tool for MR image quality improvement for subsequent better disease diagnostics.

  We propose a diffusion-style data augmentation scheme for GAN-based image super-resolution (SR) methods, known as DifAugGAN. It involves adapting the diffusion process in generative diffusion models for improving the calibration of the discriminator during training. Our DifAugGAN can be a Plug-and-Play strategy for current GAN-based SISR methods to improve the calibration of the discriminator and thus improve SR performance.
