摘要
Compressed sensing accelerates magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition by undersampling of the k-space. Yet, excessive undersampling impairs image quality when using conventional reconstruction techniques. Deep-learning-based reconstruction methods might allow for stronger undersampling and thus faster MRI scans without loss of crucial image quality. We compared imaging approaches using parallel imaging (SENSE), a combination of parallel imaging and compressed sensing (COMPRESSED SENSE, CS), and a combination of CS and a deep-learning-based reconstruction (CS AI) on raw k-space data acquired at different undersampling factors. 3D T2-weighted images of the lumbar spine were obtained from 20 volunteers, including a 3D sequence (standard SENSE), as provided by the manufacturer, as well as accelerated 3D sequences (undersampling factors 4.5, 8, and 11) reconstructed with CS and CS AI. Subjective rating was performed using a 5-point Likert scale to evaluate anatomical structures and overall image impression. Objective rating was performed using apparent signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratio (aSNR and aCNR) as well as root mean square error (RMSE) and structural-similarity index (SSIM). The CS AI 4.5 sequence was subjectively rated better than the standard in several categories and deep-learning-based reconstructions were subjectively rated better than conventional reconstructions in several categories for acceleration factors 8 and 11. In the objective rating, only aSNR of the bone showed a significant tendency towards better results of the deep-learning-based reconstructions. We conclude that CS in combination with deep-learning-based image reconstruction allows for stronger undersampling of k-space data without loss of image quality, and thus has potential for further scan time reduction.
