Blip-Up Blip-Down Circular EPI (BUDA-cEPI) for Distortion-Free dMRI with Rapid Unrolled Deep Learning Reconstruction

Purpose: We implemented the blip-up, blip-down circular echo planar imaging (BUDA-cEPI) sequence with readout and phase partial Fourier to reduced off-resonance effect and T2* blurring. BUDA-cEPI reconstruction with S-based low-rank modeling of local k-space neighborhoods (S-LORAKS) is shown to be effective at reconstructing the highly under-sampled BUDA-cEPI data, but it is computationally intensive. Thus, we developed an ML-based reconstruction technique termed "BUDA-cEPI RUN-UP" to enable fast reconstruction. Methods: BUDA-cEPI RUN-UP - a model-based framework that incorporates off-resonance and eddy current effects was unrolled through an artificial neural network with only six gradient updates. The unrolled network alternates between data consistency (i.e., forward BUDA-cEPI and its adjoint) and regularization steps where U-Net plays a role as the regularizer. To handle the partial Fourier effect, the virtual coil concept was also incorporated into the reconstruction to effectively take advantage of the smooth phase prior, and trained to predict the ground-truth images obtained by BUDA-cEPI with S-LORAKS. Results: BUDA-cEPI with S-LORAKS reconstruction enabled the management of off-resonance, partial Fourier, and residual aliasing artifacts. However, the reconstruction time is approximately 225 seconds per slice, which may not be practical in a clinical setting. In contrast, the proposed BUDA-cEPI RUN-UP yielded similar results to BUDA-cEPI with S-LORAKS, with less than a 5% normalized root mean square error detected, while the reconstruction time is approximately 3 seconds. Conclusion: BUDA-cEPI RUN-UP was shown to reduce the reconstruction time by ~88x when compared to the state-of-the-art technique, while preserving imaging details as demonstrated through DTI application.

DDM$^2$: Self-Supervised Diffusion MRI Denoising with Generative Diffusion Models

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a common and life-saving medical imaging technique. However, acquiring high signal-to-noise ratio MRI scans requires long scan times, resulting in increased costs and patient discomfort, and decreased throughput. Thus, there is great interest in denoising MRI scans, especially for the subtype of diffusion MRI scans that are severely SNR-limited. While most prior MRI denoising methods are supervised in nature, acquiring supervised training datasets for the multitude of anatomies, MRI scanners, and scan parameters proves impractical. Here, we propose Denoising Diffusion Models for Denoising Diffusion MRI (DDM$^2$), a self-supervised denoising method for MRI denoising using diffusion denoising generative models. Our three-stage framework integrates statistic-based denoising theory into diffusion models and performs denoising through conditional generation. During inference, we represent input noisy measurements as a sample from an intermediate posterior distribution within the diffusion Markov chain. We conduct experiments on 4 real-world in-vivo diffusion MRI datasets and show that our DDM$^2$ demonstrates superior denoising performances ascertained with clinically-relevant visual qualitative and quantitative metrics.

Time-efficient, High Resolution 3T Whole Brain Quantitative Relaxometry using 3D-QALAS with Wave-CAIPI Readouts

Purpose: Volumetric, high-resolution, quantitative mapping of brain tissue relaxation properties is hindered by long acquisition times and signal-to-noise (SNR) challenges. This study, for the first time, combines the time-efficient wave-CAIPI readouts into the 3D-quantification using an interleaved Look-Locker acquisition sequence with a T2 preparation pulse (3D-QALAS) acquisition scheme, enabling full brain quantitative T1, T2 and proton density (PD) maps at 1.15 mm3 isotropic voxels in only 3 minutes. Methods: Wave-CAIPI readouts were embedded in the standard 3D-QALAS encoding scheme, enabling full brain quantitative parameter maps (T1, T2, and PD) at acceleration factors of R=3x2 with minimum SNR loss due to g-factor penalties. The quantitative parameter maps were estimated using a dictionary-based mapping algorithm incorporating inversion efficiency and B1 field inhomogeneity. The quantitative maps using the accelerated protocol were quantitatively compared against those obtained from conventional 3D-QALAS sequence using GRAPPA acceleration of R=2 in the ISMRM NIST phantom, and ten healthy volunteers. Results: When tested in both the ISMRM/NIST phantom and ten healthy volunteers, the quantitative maps using the accelerated protocol showed excellent agreement against those obtained from conventional 3D-QALAS at RGRAPPA=2. Conclusion: 3D-QALAS enhanced with wave-CAIPI readouts enables time-efficient, full brain quantitative T1, T2, and PD mapping at 1.15 mm3 in 3 minutes at R=3x2 acceleration. When tested on the NIST phantom and ten healthy volunteers, the quantitative maps obtained from the accelerated wave-CAIPI 3D-QALAS protocol showed very similar values to those obtained from the standard 3D-QALAS (R=2) protocol, alluding to the robustness and reliability of the proposed methods.

Polynomial Preconditioners for Regularized Linear Inverse Problems

This work aims to accelerate the convergence of proximal gradient methods used to solve regularized linear inverse problems. This is achieved by designing a polynomial-based preconditioner that targets the eigenvalue spectrum of the normal operator derived from the linear operator. The preconditioner does not assume any explicit structure on the linear function and thus can be deployed in diverse applications of interest. The efficacy of the preconditioner is validated on three different Magnetic Resonance Imaging applications, where it is seen to achieve faster iterative convergence while achieving similar reconstruction quality.

Wave-encoding and Shuffling Enables Rapid Time Resolved Structural Imaging

T2-Shuffling reconstructs multiple sharp T2-weighted images from a single volumetric fast spin-echo (3D-FSE) scan. Wave-CAIPI is a parallel imaging technique that achieves good reconstruction at high accelerations through additional sinusoidal gradients that induce a voxel spreading effect in the readout direction to better take advantage of coil-sensitivity information. In this work, the Shuffling model in T2-Shuffling is augmented with wave-encoding to achieve higher acceleration capability. The resulting "Wave-Shuffling" approach is applied to 3D-FSE and Magnetization-Prepared Rapid Gradient-Echo (MPRAGE) to achieve rapid, 1 mm-isotropic resolution, time-resolved structural imaging.

BUDA-SAGE with self-supervised denoising enables fast, distortion-free, high-resolution T2, T2*, para- and dia-magnetic susceptibility mapping

To rapidly obtain high resolution T2, T2* and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) source separation maps with whole-brain coverage and high geometric fidelity. We propose Blip Up-Down Acquisition for Spin And Gradient Echo imaging (BUDA-SAGE), an efficient echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence for quantitative mapping. The acquisition includes multiple T2*-, T2'- and T2-weighted contrasts. We alternate the phase-encoding polarities across the interleaved shots in this multi-shot navigator-free acquisition. A field map estimated from interim reconstructions was incorporated into the joint multi-shot EPI reconstruction with a structured low rank constraint to eliminate geometric distortion. A self-supervised MR-Self2Self (MR-S2S) neural network (NN) was utilized to perform denoising after BUDA reconstruction to boost SNR. Employing Slider encoding allowed us to reach 1 mm isotropic resolution by performing super-resolution reconstruction on BUDA-SAGE volumes acquired with 2 mm slice thickness. Quantitative T2 and T2* maps were obtained using Bloch dictionary matching on the reconstructed echoes. QSM was estimated using nonlinear dipole inversion (NDI) on the gradient echoes. Starting from the estimated R2 and R2* maps, R2' information was derived and used in source separation QSM reconstruction, which provided additional para- and dia-magnetic susceptibility maps. In vivo results demonstrate the ability of BUDA-SAGE to provide whole-brain, distortion-free, high-resolution multi-contrast images and quantitative T2 and T2* maps, as well as yielding para- and dia-magnetic susceptibility maps. Derived quantitative maps showed comparable values to conventional mapping methods in phantom and in vivo measurements. BUDA-SAGE acquisition with self-supervised denoising and Slider encoding enabled rapid, distortion-free, whole-brain T2, T2* mapping at 1 mm3 isotropic resolution in 90 seconds.

Optimized multi-axis spiral projection MR fingerprinting with subspace reconstruction for rapid whole-brain high-isotropic-resolution quantitative imaging

Purpose: To improve image quality and accelerate the acquisition of 3D MRF. Methods: Building on the multi-axis spiral-projection MRF technique, a subspace reconstruction with locally low rank (LLR) constraint and a modified spiral-projection spatiotemporal encoding scheme termed tiny-golden-angle-shuffling (TGAS) were implemented for rapid whole-brain high-resolution quantitative mapping. The LLR regularization parameter and the number of subspace bases were tuned using retrospective in-vivo data and simulated examinations, respectively. B0 inhomogeneity correction using multi-frequency interpolation was incorporated into the subspace reconstruction to further improve the image quality by mitigating blurring caused by off-resonance effect. Results: The proposed MRF acquisition and reconstruction framework can produce provide high quality 1-mm isotropic whole-brain quantitative maps in a total acquisition time of 1 minute 55 seconds, with higher-quality results than ones obtained from the previous approach in 6 minutes. The comparison of quantitative results indicates that neither the subspace reconstruction nor the TGAS trajectory induce bias for T1 and T2 mapping. High quality whole-brain MRF data were also obtained at 0.66-mm isotropic resolution in 4 minutes using the proposed technique, where the increased resolution was shown to improve visualization of subtle brain structures. Conclusion: The proposed TGAS-SPI-MRF with optimized spiral-projection trajectory and subspace reconstruction can enable high-resolution quantitative mapping with faster acquisition speed.

eRAKI: Fast Robust Artificial neural networks for K-space Interpolation (RAKI) with Coil Combination and Joint Reconstruction

RAKI can perform database-free MRI reconstruction by training models using only auto-calibration signal (ACS) from each specific scan. As it trains a separate model for each individual coil, learning and inference with RAKI can be computationally prohibitive, particularly for large 3D datasets. In this abstract, we accelerate RAKI more than 200 times by directly learning a coil-combined target and further improve the reconstruction performance using joint reconstruction across multiple echoes together with an elliptical-CAIPI sampling approach. We further deploy these improvements in quantitative imaging and rapidly obtain T2 and T2* parameter maps from a fast EPTI scan.

Highly Accelerated EPI with Wave Encoding and Multi-shot Simultaneous Multi-Slice Imaging

We introduce wave encoded acquisition and reconstruction techniques for highly accelerated echo planar imaging (EPI) with reduced g-factor penalty and image artifacts. Wave-EPI involves playing sinusoidal gradients during the EPI readout while employing interslice shifts as in blipped-CAIPI acquisitions. This spreads the aliasing in all spatial directions, thereby taking better advantage of 3D coil sensitivity profiles. The amount of voxel spreading that can be achieved by the wave gradients during the short EPI readout period is constrained by the slew rate of the gradient coils and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) monitor. We propose to use a half-cycle sinusoidal gradient to increase the amount of voxel spreading that can be achieved while respecting the slew and stimulation constraints. Extending wave-EPI to multi-shot acquisition minimizes geometric distortion and voxel blurring at high in-plane resolution, while structured low-rank regularization mitigates shot-to-shot phase variations without additional navigators. We propose to use different point spread functions (PSFs) for the k-space lines with positive and negative polarities, which are calibrated with a FLEET-based reference scan and allow for addressing gradient imperfections. Wave-EPI provided whole-brain single-shot gradient echo (GE) and multi-shot spin echo (SE) EPI acquisitions at high acceleration factors and was combined with g-Slider slab encoding to boost the SNR level in 1mm isotropic diffusion imaging. Relative to blipped-CAIPI, wave-EPI reduced average and maximum g-factors by up to 1.21- and 1.37-fold, respectively. In conclusion, wave-EPI allows highly accelerated single- and multi-shot EPI with reduced g-factor and artifacts and may facilitate clinical and neuroscientific applications of EPI by improving the spatial and temporal resolution in functional and diffusion imaging.

SRDTI: Deep learning-based super-resolution for diffusion tensor MRI

High-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is beneficial for probing tissue microstructure in fine neuroanatomical structures, but long scan times and limited signal-to-noise ratio pose significant barriers to acquiring DTI at sub-millimeter resolution. To address this challenge, we propose a deep learning-based super-resolution method entitled "SRDTI" to synthesize high-resolution diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) from low-resolution DWIs. SRDTI employs a deep convolutional neural network (CNN), residual learning and multi-contrast imaging, and generates high-quality results with rich textural details and microstructural information, which are more similar to high-resolution ground truth than those from trilinear and cubic spline interpolation.

Robust Autocalibrated Structured Low-Rank EPI Ghost Correction

Purpose: We propose and evaluate a new structured low-rank method for EPI ghost correction called Robust Autocalibrated LORAKS (RAC-LORAKS). The method can be used to suppress EPI ghosts arising from the differences between different readout gradient polarities and/or the differences between different shots. It does not require conventional EPI navigator signals, and is robust to imperfect autocalibration data. Methods: Autocalibrated LORAKS is a previous structured low-rank method for EPI ghost correction that uses GRAPPA-type autocalibration data to enable high-quality ghost correction. This method works well when the autocalibration data is pristine, but performance degrades substantially when the autocalibration information is imperfect. RAC-LORAKS generalizes Autocalibrated LORAKS in two ways. First, it does not completely trust the information from autocalibration data, and instead considers the autocalibration and EPI data simultaneously when estimating low-rank matrix structure. And second, it uses complementary information from the autocalibration data to improve EPI reconstruction in a multi-contrast joint reconstruction framework. RAC-LORAKS is evaluated using simulations and in vivo data, including comparisons to state-of-the-art methods. Results: RAC-LORAKS is demonstrated to have good ghost elimination performance compared to state-of-the-art methods in several complicated EPI acquisition scenarios (including gradient-echo brain imaging, diffusion-encoded brain imaging, and cardiac imaging). Conclusion: RAC-LORAKS provides effective suppression of EPI ghosts and is robust to imperfect autocalibration data.

Efficient T2 mapping with Blip-up/down EPI and gSlider-SMS (T2-BUDA-gSlider)

Purpose: To rapidly obtain high isotropic-resolution T2 maps with whole-brain coverage and high geometric fidelity. Methods: A T2 blip-up/down echo planar imaging (EPI) acquisition with generalized Slice-dithered enhanced resolution (T2-BUDA-gSlider) is proposed. A radiofrequency (RF)-encoded multi-slab spin-echo EPI acquisition with multiple echo times (TEs) was developed to obtain high SNR efficiency with reduced repetition time (TR). This was combined with an interleaved 2-shot EPI acquisition using blip-up/down phase encoding. An estimated field map was incorporated into the joint multi-shot EPI reconstruction with a structured low rank constraint to achieve distortion-free and robust reconstruction for each slab without navigation. A Bloch simulated subspace model was integrated into gSlider reconstruction and utilized for T2 quantification. Results: In vivo results demonstrated that the T2 values estimated by the proposed method were consistent with gold standard spin-echo acquisition. Compared to the reference 3D fast spin echo (FSE) images, distortion caused by off-resonance and eddy current effects were effectively mitigated. Conclusion: BUDA-gSlider SE-EPI acquisition and gSlider-subspace joint reconstruction enabled distortion-free whole-brain T2 mapping in 2 min at ~1 mm3 isotropic resolution, which could bring significant benefits to related clinical and neuroscience applications.

SNR-enhanced diffusion MRI with structure-preserving low-rank denoising in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces

Purpose: To introduce, develop, and evaluate a novel denoising technique for diffusion MRI that leverages non-linear redundancy in the data to boost the SNR while preserving signal information. Methods: We exploit non-linear redundancy of the dMRI data by means of Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA), a non-linear generalization of PCAto reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. By mapping the signal to a high-dimensional space, better redundancy is achieved despite nonlinearities in the data thereby enabling better denoising than linear PCA. We implement KPCA with a Gaussian kernel, with parameters automatically selected from knowledge of the noise statistics, and validate it on realistic Monte-Carlo simulations as well as with in-vivo human brain submillimeter resolution dMRI data. We demonstrate KPCA denoising using multi-coil dMRI data also. Results: SNR improvements up to 2.7 X were obtained in real in-vivo datasets denoised with KPCA, in comparison to SNR gains of up to 1.8 X when using state-of-the-art PCA denoising, e.g., Marchenko- Pastur PCA (MPPCA). Compared to gold-standard dataset references created from averaged data, we showed that lower normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) was achieved with KPCA compared to MPPCA. Statistical analysis of residuals shows that only noise is removed. Improvements in the estimation of diffusion model parameters such as fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, and fiber orientation distribution functions (fODFs)were demonstrated. Conclusion:Non-linear redundancy of the dMRI signal can be exploited with KPCA, which allows superior noise reduction/ SNR improvements than state-of-the-art PCA methods, without loss of signal information.

Ultra-high spatial resolution BOLD fMRI in humans using combined segmented-accelerated VFA-FLEET with a recursive RF pulse design

Purpose To alleviate the spatial encoding limitations of single-shot EPI by developing multi-shot segmented EPI for ultra-high-resolution fMRI with reduced ghosting artifacts from subject motion and respiration. Methods Segmented EPI can reduce readout duration and reduce acceleration factors, however, the time elapsed between segment acquisitions (on the order of seconds) can result in intermittent ghosting, limiting its use for fMRI. Here, "FLEET" segment ordering--where segments are looped over before slices--was combined with a variable flip angle progression (VFA-FLEET) to improve inter-segment fidelity and maximize signal for fMRI. Scaling a sinc pulse's flip angle for each segment (VFA-FLEET-Sinc) produced inconsistent slice profiles and ghosting, therefore, a recursive Shinnar-Le Roux (SLR) RF pulse design was developed (VFA-FLEET-SLR) to generate unique pulses for every segment that together produce consistent slice profiles and signals. Results The temporal stability of VFA-FLEET-SLR was compared against conventional-segmented EPI and VFA-FLEET-Sinc at 3 T and 7 T. VFA-FLEET-SLR showed reductions in both intermittent and stable ghosting compared to conventional-segmented and VFA-FLEET-Sinc, resulting in improved image quality with a minor trade-off in temporal SNR. Combining VFA-FLEET-SLR with acceleration, we achieved a 0.6-mm isotropic acquisition at 7 T--without zoomed imaging or partial Fourier--demonstrating reliable detection of BOLD responses to a visual stimulus. To counteract the increased repetition time from segmentation, simultaneous multi-slice VFA-FLEET-SLR was demonstrated using RF-encoded controlled aliasing. Conclusions VFA-FLEET with a recursive RF pulse design supports acquisitions with low levels of artifact and spatial blur, enabling fMRI at previously inaccessible spatial resolutions with a "full-brain" field of view.

SURE-based Automatic Parameter Selection For ESPIRiT Calibration

Purpose: Parallel imaging methods in MRI have resulted in faster acquisition times and improved noise performance. ESPIRiT is one such technique that estimates coil sensitivity maps from the auto-calibration region using an eigenvalue-based method. This method requires choosing several parameters for the the map estimation. Even though ESPIRiT is fairly robust to these parameter choices, occasionally, poor selection can result in reduced performance. The purpose of this work is to automatically select parameters in ESPIRiT for more robust and consistent performance across a variety of exams. Theory and Methods: Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE) is a method of calculating an unbiased estimate of the mean squared error of an estimator under certain assumptions. We show that this can be used to estimate the performance of ESPIRiT. We derive and demonstrate the use of SURE to optimize ESPIRiT parameter selection. Results: Simulations show SURE to be an accurate estimator of the mean squared error. SURE is then used to optimize ESPIRiT parameters to yield maps that are optimal in a denoising/data-consistency sense. This improves g-factor performance without causing undesirable attenuation. In-vivo experiments verify the reliability of this method. Conclusion: Simulation experiments demonstrate that SURE is an accurate estimate of expected mean squared error. Using SURE to determine ESPIRiT parameters allows for automatic parameter selections.In-vivo results are consistent with simulation and theoretical results.

High-fidelity, accelerated whole-brain submillimeter in-vivo diffusion MRI using gSlider-Spherical Ridgelets (gSlider-SR)

Purpose: To develop an accelerated, robust, and accurate diffusion MRI acquisition and reconstruction technique for submillimeter whole human brain in-vivo scan on a clinical scanner. Methods: We extend the ultra-high resolution diffusion MRI acquisition technique, gSlider, by allowing under-sampling in q-space and Radio-Frequency (RF)-encoded data, thereby accelerating the total acquisition time of conventional gSlider. The novel method, termed gSlider-SR, compensates for the lack of acquired information by exploiting redundancy in the dMRI data using a basis of Spherical Ridgelets (SR), while simultaneously enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio. Using Monte-Carlo simulation with realistic noise levels and several acquisitions of in-vivo human brain dMRI data (acquired on a Siemens Prisma 3T scanner), we demonstrate the efficacy of our method using several quantitative metrics. Results: For high-resolution dMRI data with realistic noise levels (synthetically added), we show that gSlider-SR can reconstruct high-quality dMRI data at different acceleration factors preserving both signal and angular information. With in-vivo data, we demonstrate that gSlider-SR can accurately reconstruct 860 $μm$ diffusion MRI data (64 diffusion directions at b = 2000 $s/ {mm}^2$), at comparable quality as that obtained with conventional gSlider with four averages, thereby providing an eight-fold reduction in scan time (from 1 h 20 min to 10 min). Conclusion: gSlider-SR enables whole-brain high angular resolution dMRI at a submillimeter spatial resolution with a dramatically reduced acquisition time, making it feasible to use the proposed scheme on existing clinical scanners.

Scan-specific, Parameter-free Artifact Reduction in K-space (SPARK)

We propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) approach that works synergistically with physics-based reconstruction methods to reduce artifacts in accelerated MRI. Given reconstructed coil k-spaces, our network predicts a k-space correction term for each coil. This is done by matching the difference between the acquired autocalibration lines and their erroneous reconstructions, and generalizing this error term over the entire k-space. Application of this approach on existing reconstruction methods show that SPARK suppresses reconstruction artifacts at high acceleration, while preserving and improving on detail in moderate acceleration rates where existing reconstruction algorithms already perform well; indicating robustness.

Echo Planar Time-Resolved Imaging (EPTI) with Subspace Reconstruction and Optimized Spatiotemporal Encoding

Purpose: To develop new encoding and reconstruction techniques for fast multi-contrast quantitative imaging. Methods: The recently proposed Echo Planar Time-resolved Imaging (EPTI) technique can achieve fast distortion- and blurring-free multi-contrast quantitative imaging. In this work, a subspace reconstruction framework is developed to improve the reconstruction accuracy of EPTI at high encoding accelerations. The number of unknowns in the reconstruction is significantly reduced by modeling the temporal signal evolutions using low-rank subspace. As part of the proposed reconstruction approach, a B0-update algorithm and a shot-to-shot B0 variation correction method are developed to enable the reconstruction of high-resolution tissue phase images and to mitigate artifacts from shot-to-shot phase variations. Moreover, the EPTI concept is extended to 3D k-space for 3D GE-EPTI, where a new temporal-variant of CAIPI encoding is proposed to further improve performance. Results: The effectiveness of the proposed subspace reconstruction was demonstrated first in 2D GESE EPTI, where the reconstruction achieved higher accuracy when compared to conventional B0-informed GRAPPA. For 3D GE-EPTI, a retrospective undersampling experiment demonstrates that the new temporal-variant CAIPI encoding can achieve up to 72x acceleration with close to 2x reduction in reconstruction error when compared to conventional spatiotemporal-CAIPI encoding. In a prospective undersampling experiment, high-quality whole-brain T2* and QSM maps at 1 mm isotropic resolution was acquired in 52 seconds at 3T using 3D GE-EPTI with temporal-variant CAIPI encoding. Conclusion: The proposed subspace reconstruction and optimized temporal-variant CAIPI encoding can further improve the performance of EPTI for fast quantitative mapping.
