Synopsis
Undersampling is desired to reduce scan time but can cause streaking artifacts in stack-of-radial imaging. State-of-the-art deep neural networks such as the U-Net can be trained in a supervised manner to remove streaking artifacts but produce blurred images and loss of image details. Therefore, we developed and trained a 3D generative adversarial network to preserve perceptual image sharpness while removing streaking artifacts. The network used a combination of adversarial loss, L2 loss and structural similarity index loss. We demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed network for removing streaking artifacts and preserving perceptual image sharpness.
