General and Efficient Super-Resolution Method for Multi-slice MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 images, a large system with linear equations is obtained. With the conjugated gradient method and this linear system, a high resolution image is reconstructed from MR images of an object. Also, a new and efficient method to apply an affine transformation to multi-dimensional images is presented. This method is used to efficiently reconstruction the high resolution image from multislice MR images with arbitrary orientations of the slices.

Cross-scale self-similarity super-resolution of single MRI slice-stacks
Purpose: In MRI-sequences which require long repetition times, direct 3D acquisition often leads to infeasible acquisition times. In such cases, 2D multi-slice imaging is a common alternative. However, due to hardware limitations and other factors, the slices of such acquisitions are usually thick relative to the in-plane resolution. Such anisotropy hampers both visualization and analysis of th...
متن کاملSuper-Resolution Reconstruction Using Cross-Scale Self-similarity in Multi-slice MRI
In MRI, the relatively thick slices of multi-slice acquisitions often hamper visualization and analysis of the underlying anatomy. A group of post-processing techniques referred to as super-resolution reconstruction (SRR) have been developed to address this issue. In this study, we present a novel approach to SRR in MRI, which exploits the high-resolution content usually available in the 2D sli...
متن کاملA Deep Model for Super-resolution Enhancement from a Single Image
This study presents a method to reconstruct a high-resolution image using a deep convolution neural network. We propose a deep model, entitled Deep Block Super Resolution (DBSR), by fusing the output features of a deep convolutional network and a shallow convolutional network. In this way, our model benefits from high frequency and low frequency features extracted from deep and shallow networks...
متن کاملA wavelet-based super-resolution method for multi-slice MRI
In multi-slice magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the resolution in the slice direction is usually reduced to allow faster acquisition times and to reduce the amount of noise in each 2D slice. To address this issue, a number of super resolution (SR) methods have been proposed to improve the resolution of 3D MRI volumes. Most of the methods involve the use of prior models of the MRI data as regul...
متن کاملApplication of Tikhonov Regularization to Super-Resolution Reconstruction of Brain MRI Images
This paper presents an image super-resolution method that enhances spatial resolution of MRI images in the slice-select direction. The algorithm employs Tikhonov regularization, using a standard model of general imaging process and then reformulating the reconstruction as a regularized minimization problem. Our experimental result shows improvements in both signal-to-noise ratio and visual qual...
