Spatial resolution is critically important in MRI. Unfortunately, direct high-resolution acquisition is time-consuming and suffers from reduced signal-to-noise ratio. Deep learning-based super-resolution has emerged to improve MRI resolution. However, current methods require large-scale training datasets of high-resolution images, which are difficult to obtain at suitable quality. We developed a deep learning technique that trains the model on the patient-specific low-resolution data, and achieved high-quality MRI at a resolution of 0.125 cubic mm with six minutes of imaging time. Experiments demonstrate our approach achieved superior results to state-of-the-art super-resolution methods, while reduced scan time as delivered with direct high-resolution acquisitions.
