Super-resolution Reconstruction of 3T-like Images from 0.35T MRI Using A Hybrid Attention Residual Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic resonance (MR) images from low-field scanners present poorer signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) than those high-field at the same spatial resolution. To obtain a clinically acceptable SNR, radiologists operating use much smaller acquisition matrix scanners. Thus, current state of image quality indicates need for further research to improve systems. Strategies based on super-resolution (SR) techniques can be alternatives reconstruction. However, predetermined degradation methods embedded in these techniques, such as bicubic downsampling, seem impose performance drop when actual is different pre-defined assumption. In this study, we collected unique dataset by scanning 70 participants address problem. The anatomical locations scanned slices were 0.35T and 3T data. Low-resolution (LR) (0.35T) high-resolution (HR) (3T) pairs used data training. Herein, introduce novel CNN-based network with hybrid attention mechanisms (HybridAttentionResNet, HARN) adaptively capture diverse information reconstruct MR (3T-like images). Specifically, proposed dense block combines variant blocks extract abundant features LR images. experimental results demonstrate that our residual efficiently recovers significant textures while rendering high peak ratio (PSNR) an appealing structural similarity index (SSIM). Moreover, extensive subjective-mean-opinion-score (SMOS) proves promising clinical application using HARN.

Super-Resolution Reconstruction in MRI: Better Images Faster?
Improving the resolution in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is always done at the expense of either the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or the acquisition time. This study investigates whether so-called super-resolution reconstruction (SRR) is an advantageous alternative to direct high-resolution (HR) acquisition in terms of the SNR and acquisition time trade-offs. An experimental framework was de...
متن کاملSuper-resolution of Defocus Blurred Images
Super-resolution is a process that combines information from some low-resolution images in order to produce an image with higher resolution. In most of the previous related work, the blurriness that is associated with low resolution images is assumed to be due to the integral effect of the acquisition device’s image sensor. However, in practice there are other sources of blurriness as well, inc...
متن کاملSuper-resolution Reconstruction of Fetal Brain MRI
Current fetal MRI practice involves fast 2D slice acquisitions. The reconstruction of volumetric fetal brain MRI from these acquisitions and its post-processing is greatly desired for studying in-utero brain development. The previously developed reconstruction techniques rely on iterations of slice-tovolume registration and scattered data interpolation. In contrast, the technique introduced her...
متن کاملSuper-resolution Reconstruction of MR Brain Images
MR images typically have poorer resolution in the slice-selection direction than the in-plane directions. In this work, we adopt an MAP super-resolution method to reconstruct a high-resolution image from two orthogonal scans of the same subject. The new image shows improved SNR and has a resolution that approximates the original in-plane resolution in all directions. Experimental results on bot...
متن کاملSuper-Resolution of License Plate Images using Algebraic Reconstruction Technique
In this paper, an iterative super-resolution reconstruction method is introduced for license plate recognition. A high-resolution image of the license plate is reconstructed by fusing the information derived from a set of subpixel shifted low-resolution images. The reconstruction problem is formulated as a system of linear equations that is solved by using the simultaneous algebraic reconstruct...
