Abstract

We present a deep learning-based method that corrects motion artifacts and thus accelerates data acquisition and reconstruction of magnetic resonance images. The novel model, the Motion Artifact Correction by Swin Network (MACS-Net), uses a Swin transformer layer as the fundamental block and the Unet architecture as the neural network backbone. We employ a hierarchical transformer with shifted windows to extract multiscale contextual features during encoding. A new dual upsampling technique is employed to enhance the spatial resolutions of feature maps in the Swin transformer-based decoder layer. A raw magnetic resonance imaging dataset is used for network training and testing; the data contain various motion artifacts with ground truth images of the same subjects. The results were compared to six state-of-the-art MRI image motion correction methods using two types of motions. When motions were brief (within 5 s), the method reduced the average normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) from 45.25% to 17.51%, increased the mean structural similarity index measure (SSIM) from 79.43% to 91.72%, and increased the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) from 18.24 to 26.57 dB. Similarly, when motions were extended from 5 to 10 s, our approach decreased the average NRMSE from 60.30% to 21.04%, improved the mean SSIM from 33.86% to 90.33%, and increased the PSNR from 15.64 to 24.99 dB. The anatomical structures of the corrected images and the motion-free brain data were similar.

用斯温变换器和 Unet 架构纠正磁共振图像重建中的运动伪影
我们提出了一种基于深度学习的方法,它能纠正运动伪影,从而加速磁共振图像的数据采集和重建。这个名为 "Swin 网络运动伪影校正"(MACS-Net)的新模型使用 Swin 变换器层作为基本模块,Unet 架构作为神经网络骨干。在编码过程中,我们采用带有移位窗口的分层变换器来提取多尺度上下文特征。在基于 Swin 变换器的解码层中,我们采用了一种新的双重上采样技术来提高特征图的空间分辨率。原始磁共振成像数据集用于网络训练和测试;数据包含各种运动伪影和相同受试者的地面实况图像。使用两种类型的运动,将结果与六种最先进的磁共振成像运动校正方法进行了比较。当运动时间较短时(5 秒内),该方法将平均归一化均方根误差(NRMSE)从 45.25% 降低到 17.51%,将平均结构相似性指数(SSIM)从 79.43% 提高到 91.72%,将峰值信噪比(PSNR)从 18.24 dB 提高到 26.57 dB。同样,当运动时间从 5 秒延长到 10 秒时,我们的方法将平均 NRMSE 从 60.30% 降低到 21.04%,将平均 SSIM 从 33.86% 提高到 90.33%,将 PSNR 从 15.64 dB 提高到 24.99 dB。校正图像和无运动大脑数据的解剖结构相似。
