    Abstract: The disclosure relates to multiplanar reformation of three-dimensional medical images. In particular, the invention provides a method for reformatting image sequences by determining a landmark plane intersecting a volume, acquiring an image sequence, reformatting the image sequence along the landmark plane to produce a first reformatted image sequence, perturbing the landmark plane to produce a perturbed landmark plane, reformatting the first reformatted image sequence along the perturbed landmark plane to produce a second reformatted image sequence, mapping the second reformatted image sequence, the image sequence, and the landmark plane, to a resolution enhanced image sequence using a trained image enhancement network, and displaying the resolution enhanced image sequence via a display device. The present disclosure provides approaches which may reduce image artifacts in retrospectively reformatted image sequences, particularly in cases of retrospective reformatting of medium or low-resolution image sequences, without relying on acquisition of high-resolution 3D images.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating an artifact corrected reconstructed contrast image from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is provided. The method includes inputting into a trained deep neural network both a synthesized contrast image derived from multi-delay multi-echo (MDME) scan data or the MDME scan data acquired during a first scan of an object of interest utilizing a MDME sequence and a composite image, wherein the composite image is derived from both the MDME scan data and contrast scan data acquired during a second scan of the object of interest utilizing a contrast MRI sequence. The method also includes utilizing the trained deep neural network to generate the artifact corrected reconstructed contrast image based on both the synthesized contrast image or the MDME scan data and the composite image. The method further includes outputting from the trained deep neural network the artifact corrected reconstructed contrast image.

    Abstract: A system and method for reducing scan time of periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) imaging include acquiring a plurality of blades of k-space data of a region of interest in a rotational manner around a center of k-space via a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner during a PROPELLER sequence, wherein each blade of the plurality of blades of k-space data includes a plurality of parallel phase encoding lines sampled in a phase encoding order. Each blade of the plurality of blades of k-space data is undersampled. The system and method include utilizing a deep learning-based Cartesian-like reconstruction network to individually and separately reconstruct each blade of the plurality of blades of k-space data to generate a plurality of fully sampled blades. The system and method include utilizing a PROPELLER reconstruction algorithm to generate a complex image from the plurality of fully sampled blades.

    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for generating super-resolution images. In one embodiment, a method comprises: progressively up-sampling an input image to generate a super-resolution output image by: generating N intermediate images based on the input image, where N is equal to at least one, including a first intermediate image by providing the input image to a deep neural network, where a resolution of the first intermediate image is a multiple of a resolution of the input image, higher than the resolution of the input image, and can be any positive real value and not necessarily an integer value; generating the super-resolution output image based on the N intermediate images, the super-resolution output image having a resolution higher than a respective resolution of each intermediate image of the N intermediate images and the resolution of the input image; and displaying the super-resolution output image via a display device.
