Synopsis

Keywords: Spectroscopy, Data Processing, MRSI nuisance signal removal

Motivation: Unsuppressed water and lipid signals are several orders of magnitude stronger than the metabolite signals in MRSI, imposing significant challenges in MRSI data processing and image reconstruction.

Goal(s): To develop a novel deep learning-based method for nuisance signal removal from MRSI data acquired without suppression.

Approach: A neural network with a U-net structure was designed to remove nuisance signals in MRSI, where the input of the network was the Hankel matrix formed by the time-domain MRSI signal.

Results: The proposed method was validated using in vivo MRSI data, showing superior performance over the conventional method.

Impact: A deep learning-based method is proposed for nuisance signal removal in MRSI. It could enable MRSI without water or lipid suppression with robust performance in practical settings.
