Keywords: AI/ML Image Reconstruction, Cardiovascular
Motivation: Deep learning reconstruction algorithms offer significant advantages for accelerating 4D-Flow MRI acquisition. However, a large high-quality fully-sampled dataset is usually unavailable for network training.
Goal(s): To propose an unsupervised algorithm for 4D-Flow MRI reconstruction, without the need for any fully-sampled data.
Approach: We use branched CNNs and a Graph-Convolution-Network as the generator. Additionally, we devise an ADMM algorithm to alternately optimize the images and the network parameters. Experiments are conducted on aortic and intracranial 4D-Flow data.
Results: The proposed algorithm demonstrates superior reconstruction results, outperforming even supervised deep-learning method. Moreover, it exhibits good generalization capability when applied to another imaging target.
Impact: The proposed method is a promising algorithm for accelerating MR blood-flow imaging, owing to its exceptional performance and generalization capacity. Furthermore, the algorithm introduces a new model for 4D-flow MRI reconstruction which is valuable for further research.
