ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
High-resolution (HR) MR images provide rich structural detail to assist physicians in clinical diagnosis and treatment plan. However, it is arduous to acquire HR MRI due to equipment limitations, scanning time or patient comfort. Instead, HR MRI could be obtained through a number of computer assisted post-processing methods that have proven to be effective and reliable. This paper aims to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) based super-resolution reconstruction framework for low-resolution (LR) T2w images.METHOD:
In this paper, we propose a novel multi-modal HR MRI generation framework based on deep learning techniques. Specifically, we construct a CNN based on multi-resolution analysis to learn an end-to-end mapping between LR T2w and HR T2w, where HR T1w is fed into the network to offer detailed a priori information to help generate HR T2w. Furthermore, a low-frequency filtering module is introduced to filter out the interference from HR-T1w during high-frequency information extraction. Based on the idea of multi-resolution analysis, detailed features extracted from HR T1w and LR T2w are fused at two scales in the network and then HR T2w is reconstructed by upsampling and dense connectivity module.RESULTS:
Extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations demonstrate that the proposed method enhances the recovered HR T2w details and outperforms other state-of-the-art methods. In addition, the experimental results also suggest that our network has a lightweight structure and favorable generalization performance.CONCLUSION:
The results show that the proposed method is capable of reconstructing HR T2w with higher accuracy. Meanwhile, the super-resolution reconstruction results on other dataset illustrate the excellent generalization ability of the method.Palavras-chave
