We propose a novel multi-step Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture to cascade multiple CNNs, along with an Auto-Context Model (ACM), called Auto-Context CNN, to reconstruct 7T-like MR images from 3T MR images. Basically, we non-linearly map the input 3T MR images to their corresponding 7T MR images. To do so, in the training stage, we first partition the training 3T and 7T MR images into overlapping 3D patches, then we train the Auto-Context CNN to map each 3T patch to the center voxel in the corresponding 7T patch. In the testing step, we apply the trained Auto-Context CNN to generate the 7T-like MRI patch from each input 3T patch.
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
