Synopsis

We propose to simulate a large set of anatomically variable voxel-aligned and artifact-free brain MRI data at different resolutions to be used for training deep-learning based Super Resolution (SR) networks. To the best of our knowledge, no such efforts have been made in past regarding use of simulated data to train a SR network. We trained a SR network using such simulated data and tested the performance on real-world MRI data. The trained network could significantly sharpen low-resolution input MR images and clearly outperformed classic image interpolation methods.
