Multi-delay arterial spin-labeled perfusion estimation with biophysics simulation and deep learning

no code implementations17 Nov 2023 Renjiu Hu, Qihao Zhang, Pascal Spincemaille, Thanh D. Nguyen, Yi Wang

The trained network was further tested in a synthetic brain ASL image based on vasculature network extracted from magnetic resonance (MR) angiography.

mcLARO: Multi-Contrast Learned Acquisition and Reconstruction Optimization for simultaneous quantitative multi-parametric mapping

no code implementations7 Apr 2023 Jinwei Zhang, Thanh D. Nguyen, Eddy Solomon, Chao Li, Qihao Zhang, Jiahao Li, Hang Zhang, Pascal Spincemaille, Yi Wang

Results: The retrospective ablation study showed improved image sharpness of mcLARO compared to the baseline network without multi-contrast sampling pattern optimization or image feature fusion, and negligible bias and narrow 95% limits of agreement on regional T1, T2, T2* and QSM values were obtained by the under-sampled reconstructions compared to the fully sampled reconstruction.

Geometric Loss for Deep Multiple Sclerosis lesion Segmentation

no code implementations29 Sep 2020 Hang Zhang, Jinwei Zhang, Rongguang Wang, Qihao Zhang, Susan A. Gauthier, Pascal Spincemaille, Thanh D. Nguyen, Yi Wang

Multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions occupy a small fraction of the brain volume, and are heterogeneous with regards to shape, size and locations, which poses a great challenge for training deep learning based segmentation models.

Extending LOUPE for K-space Under-sampling Pattern Optimization in Multi-coil MRI

no code implementations28 Jul 2020 Jinwei Zhang, Hang Zhang, Alan Wang, Qihao Zhang, Mert Sabuncu, Pascal Spincemaille, Thanh D. Nguyen, Yi Wang

The previously established LOUPE (Learning-based Optimization of the Under-sampling Pattern) framework for optimizing the k-space sampling pattern in MRI was extended in three folds: firstly, fully sampled multi-coil k-space data from the scanner, rather than simulated k-space data from magnitude MR images in LOUPE, was retrospectively under-sampled to optimize the under-sampling pattern of in-vivo k-space data; secondly, binary stochastic k-space sampling, rather than approximate stochastic k-space sampling of LOUPE during training, was applied together with a straight-through (ST) estimator to estimate the gradient of the threshold operation in a neural network; thirdly, modified unrolled optimization network, rather than modified U-Net in LOUPE, was used as the reconstruction network in order to reconstruct multi-coil data properly and reduce the dependency on training data.
