It is challenging and inspiring for us to achieve high spatiotemporal resolutions in dynamic cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this paper, we introduce two novel models and algorithms to reconstruct dynamic cardiac MRI data from under-sampledk-tspace data. In contrast to classical low-rank and sparse model, we use rank-one and transformed sparse model to exploit the correlations in the dataset. In addition, we propose projected alternative direction method (PADM) and alternative hard thresholding method (AHTM) to solve our proposed models. Numerical experiments of cardiac perfusion and cardiac cine MRI data demonstrate improvement in performance.

Abstract Compressed Sensing (CS) and parallel imaging are two promising techniques that accelerate the MRI acquisition process. Combining these two techniques is of great interest due to the complementary information used in each. In this study, we propose a new reconstruction framework for dynamic cardiac imaging that takes advantage of both CS-based dynamic imaging and one nonlinear parallel imaging technique. The method decouples the reconstruction process into two sequential steps: use CS to reconstruct a series of aliased dynamic images from the highly undersampled k-space data; use nonlinear GRAPPA method, one nonlinear technique of parallel imaging, to reconstruct the original dynamic images from the k-space data that has been reconstructed by CS. The sampling scheme of the proposed method is designed to simultaneously satisfy the incoherent undersampling requirement for CS and the structured undersampling requirement for nonlinear parallel imaging. Four in vivo experiments of dynamic cardiac cine MRI were carried out with retrospective undersampling to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Experiments show the proposed method of dynamic cardiac cine MRI is superior at reducing aliasing artifacts and preserving the spatial details and temporal variations, when compared with k-t FOCUSS and k-t FOCUSS with sensitivity encoding, using the same numbers of measurements. The proposed joint reconstruction framework effectively combines the CS method and one nonlinear technique of parallel imaging, and improves the image quality of dynamic cardiac cine MRI reconstruction when comparing to the state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract The partial separability (PS) model for spatiotemporal signals has been exploited effectively for sparse (k, t)-space sampling in dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the training data for defining the temporal subspace is reordered by using a projection strategy in the conventional PS model-based method, which results in a suboptimal temporal resolution imaging. To address this issue, a kernel method was presented in this work to reorder the training data to realize a higher temporal resolution MRI. Numerical simulation results show that the MRI temporal resolution could be further improved and the dynamic change of motion object could be accurately captured by the proposed method. In vivo cardiac cine MRI results demonstrate that the proposed method can reconstruct better MR images with higher temporal resolution (up to 8.4 ms per snapshot). This study may find use in ultra-high resolution dynamic MRI.

Abstract Objectives Effects of liver disease on portal venous (PV), hepatic arterial (HA), total liver blood flow (TLBF), and cardiac function are poorly understood. Terlipressin modulates PV flow but effects on HA, TLBF, and sepsis/acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF)-induced haemodynamic changes are poorly characterised. In this study, we investigated the effects of terlipressin and sepsis/ACLF on hepatic haemodynamics and cardiac function in a rodent cirrhosis model using caval subtraction phase-contrast (PC) MRI and cardiac cine MRI. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 18 bile duct–ligated (BDL), n = 16 sham surgery controls) underwent caval subtraction PCMRI to estimate TLBF and HA flow and short-axis cardiac cine MRI for systolic function at baseline, following terlipressin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infusion, to model ACLF. Results All baseline hepatic haemodynamic/cardiac systolic function parameters (except heart rate and LV mass) were significantly different in BDL rats. Following terlipressin, baseline PV flow (sham 181.4 ± 12.1 ml/min/100 g; BDL 68.5 ± 10.1 ml/min/100 g) reduced (sham − 90.3 ± 11.1 ml/min/100 g, p < 0.0001; BDL − 31.0 ± 8.0 ml/min/100 g, p = 0.02), sham baseline HA flow (33.0 ± 11.3 ml/min/100 g) increased (+ 92.8 ± 21.3 ml/min/100 g, p = 0.0003), but BDL baseline HA flow (83.8 ml/min/100 g) decreased (− 34.4 ± 7.5 ml/min/100 g, p = 0.11). Sham baseline TLBF (214.3 ± 16.7 ml/min/100 g) was maintained (+ 2.5 ± 14.0 ml/min/100 g, p > 0.99) but BDL baseline TLBF (152.3 ± 18.7 ml/min/100 g) declined (− 65.5 ± 8.5 ml/min/100 g, p = 0.0004). Following LPS, there were significant differences between cohort and change in HA fraction (p = 0.03) and TLBF (p = 0.01) with BDL baseline HA fraction (46.2 ± 4.6%) reducing (− 20.9 ± 7.5%, p = 0.03) but sham baseline HA fraction (38.2 ± 2.0%) remaining unchanged (+ 2.9 ± 6.1%, p > 0.99). Animal cohort and change in systolic function interactions were significant only for heart rate (p = 0.01) and end-diastolic volume (p = 0.03). Conclusions Caval subtraction PCMRI and cardiac MRI in a rodent model of cirrhosis demonstrate significant baseline hepatic haemodynamic/cardiac differences, failure of the HA buffer response post-terlipressin and an altered HA fraction response in sepsis, informing potential translation to ACLF patients. Key Points Caval subtraction phase-contrast and cardiac MRI demonstrate: • Significant differences between cirrhotic/non-cirrhotic rodent hepatic blood flow and cardiac systolic function at baseline. • Failure of the hepatic arterial buffer response in cirrhotic rodents in response to terlipressin. • Reductions in hepatic arterial flow fraction in the setting of acute-on-chronic liver failure.

Abstract Cardiac magnetic resonance image (MRI) has been widely used in diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases because of its noninvasive nature and high image quality. The evaluation standard of physiological indexes in cardiac diagnosis is essentially the accuracy of segmentation of left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) in cardiac MRI. In this paper, we propose a novel Nested Capsule Dense Network (NCDN) structure based on the FC-DenseNet model and capsule convolution-capsule deconvolution. Different from the traditional symmetric single codec network structure such as U-net, NCDN uses multiple codecs instead of a single codec to achieve multi-resolution, which makes it possible to save more spatial information and improve the robustness of the model. The proposed model is tested on three datasets that includes York University Cardiac MRI dataset, Automated Cardiac Diagnosis Challenge (ACDC-2017), and local dataset. The results show that the proposed NCDN outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

The reconstruction of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) from partially sampled k-space data has to deal with a trade-off between the spatial resolution and temporal resolution. In this paper, a low-rank and sparse decomposition model is introduced to resolve this issue, which is formulated as an inverse problem regularized by robust principal component analysis (RPCA). The inverse problem can be solved by convex optimization method. We propose a scalable and fast algorithm based on the inexact augmented Lagrange multipliers (IALM) to carry out the convex optimization. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can achieve superior reconstruction quality and faster reconstruction speed in cardiac cine image compared to existing state-of-art reconstruction methods.

Background: In order to overcome the limitation of long scanning time, compressive sensing (CS) technology exploits the sparsity of image in some transform domain to reduce the amount of acquired data. Therefore, CS has been widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction. </P><P> Discussion: Blind compressed sensing enables to recover the image successfully from highly under- sampled measurements, because of the data-driven adaption of the unknown transform basis priori. Moreover, analysis-based blind compressed sensing often leads to more efficient signal reconstruction with less time than synthesis-based blind compressed sensing. Recently, some experiments have shown that nonlocal low-rank property has the ability to preserve the details of the image for MRI reconstruction. Methods: Here, we focus on analysis-based blind compressed sensing, and combine it with additional nonlocal low-rank constraint to achieve better MR images from fewer measurements. Instead of nuclear norm, we exploit non-convex Schatten p-functionals for the rank approximation. </P><P> Results & Conclusion: Simulation results indicate that the proposed approach performs better than the previous state-of-the-art algorithms.
