Super-resolution Reconstruction of MR Brain Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
MR images typically have poorer resolution in the slice-selection direction than the in-plane directions. In this work, we adopt an MAP super-resolution method to reconstruct a high-resolution image from two orthogonal scans of the same subject. The new image shows improved SNR and has a resolution that approximates the original in-plane resolution in all directions. Experimental results on both simulated and real data sets are used to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method.

On Super-Resolution for Fetal Brain MRI
Super-resolution techniques provide a route to studying fine scale anatomical detail using multiple lower resolution acquisitions. In particular, techniques that do not depend on regular sampling can be used in medical imaging situations where imaging time and resolution are limited by subject motion. We investigate in this work the use of a super-resolution technique for anisotropic fetal brai...
متن کاملSingle-image super-resolution of brain MR images using overcomplete dictionaries
Resolution in Magnetic Resonance (MR) is limited by diverse physical, technological and economical considerations. In conventional medical practice, resolution enhancement is usually performed with bicubic or B-spline interpolations, strongly affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing steps such as segmentation or registration. This paper presents a sparse-based super-resolution method, ad...
متن کاملBTK: An open-source toolkit for fetal brain MR image processing
Studies about brain maturation aim at providing a better understanding of brain development and links between brain changes and cognitive development. Such studies are of great interest for diagnosis help and clinical course of development and treatment of illnesses. However, the processing of fetal brain MR images remains complicated which limits the translation from the research to the clinic...
متن کاملRegistration-based approach for reconstruction of high-resolution in utero fetal MR brain images.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES This paper describes a novel approach to forming high-resolution MR images of the human fetal brain. It addresses the key problem of fetal motion by proposing a registration-refined compounding of multiple sets of orthogonal fast two-dimensional MRI slices, which are currently acquired for clinical studies, into a single high-resolution MRI volume. MATERIALS AND METHO...
متن کاملGeneral and Efficient Super-Resolution Method for Multi-slice MRI
In this paper, a method is developed that reconstructs a high resolution image from an arbitrary set of multi-slice 3D MR images with a high in-plane resolution and a low through-plane resolution. Such images are often recorded to increase the efficiency of the acquisition. With a model of the acquisition of MR images, which is improved compared to previous super-resolution methods for MR image...
