Synopsis

Keywords: Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence, CEST & MT, Super-resolution, Unrolled network, quantitationCEST MRI suffers from the low resolution, leading to the disability to image small structures. We proposed a new optimization process adapting the CEST data form. Based on deep learning, our optimization flow is unfolded into an unrolled network for super resolution, termed as SC-Net. Besides, we introduced ROI-based normalization loss to guarantee quantitation accuracy. Results showed that SC-Net could reconstruct high-resolution image series and quantitative maps (PSNR = 44.27dB, CNR APTw = 41.79dB), when down sampling rate = 8. And the ROI-based normalization loss could calibrate errors. In conclusion, SC-Net has the potential to image small regions and acceleration.
