Synopsis

Hyperpolarized gas MRI can visualize and quantify regional lung ventilation with exquisite detail, but clinical uptake is limited to a few centres worldwide. Alternative, non-contrast techniques have been proposed to image ventilation, including 1H-based surrogates of ventilation from multi-inflation 1H-MRI. Recently, deep learning has shown potential for generating synthetic images in multiple modalities within the lung image analysis field. We propose a 3D multi-channel deep learning approach to synthesize hyperpolarized gas MRI and assess its quantitative performance using several common image synthesis metrics across a large, diverse dataset of lung pathologies using 5-fold cross-validation.
