Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Background:

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) excel at fast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction by utilizing local image information.
However, CNNs may miss non-local image information due to limited receptive fields, impacting reconstruction quality.
This study addresses this limitation by incorporating graph structures to capture long-range dependencies.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel network, Graph Convolutional Enhanced Self-Similarity (GCESS), for improved MRI reconstruction.
To effectively integrate both local and non-local image information for more reliable image reconstruction.
To enhance the structural integrity and detail preservation in reconstructed MRI images.

Main Methods:

Reconstructing MRI images into a graph format to extract non-local self-similarity.
Employing a hybrid approach combining spatial convolution and graph convolution within the GCESS network.
Strengthening non-local similarities between image patches during the reconstruction process.

Main Results:

The GCESS network demonstrated superior artifact suppression and detail preservation compared to state-of-the-art methods on in vivo knee and brain data.
Quantitative analysis showed improved Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) for reconstructed images.
Results were consistent across different sampling templates, validating the method's robustness.

Conclusions:

The proposed GCESS network effectively combines spatial and graph convolutions for robust MRI image reconstruction.
The method amplifies non-local self-similarities, significantly improving the structural integrity of reconstructed images.
Experimental results confirm the superiority of GCESS in artifact reduction and detail preservation over existing methods.
