Conditional Diffusion-Generated Super-Resolution for Myocardial First-Pass Perfusion MRI

Puntos clave

PerfGen achieved a notable reduction in nRMSE by 20%, enhancing the accuracy of myocardial perfusion assessments.
This methodology resulted in a 6-9 fold acceleration in image processing, streamlining the workflow for real-time imaging displays.
The study validated PerfGen on clinical datasets, highlighting its effectiveness compared to existing imaging reconstruction methods.
By complementing GRAPPA, this model further improves imaging speed and quality, enhancing myocardial perfusion MRI outcomes.

Resumen

Motivation: This study addresses critical limitations in myocardial perfusion MRI, specifically restricted slice coverage and temporal resolution, which are essential for accurate perfusion assessment. Goal(s): To enhance myocardial perfusion MRI by achieving high slice coverage and temporal resolution, enabling real-time inline imaging display using low-resolution images for smoother workflow. Approach: We developed PerfGen, a conditional diffusion-based generative model that, combined with GRAPPA, achieves 6-9-fold acceleration by generating high-resolution images from low-resolution acquisitions. Results: Trained and validated on clinical rest and stress datasets, PerfGen reduced nRMSE by 20%, increased PSNR by 6%, and improved SSIM by 3%, complementing GRAPPA or other reconstruction methods. Impact: PerfGen enables high-quality myocardial perfusion MRI, complementing GRAPPA or similar methods to improve imaging speed with real-time displays. This conditional diffusion-based super-resolution approach generates multiple contrast phases and complements GRAPPA or similar methods, further advancing myocardial perfusion imaging.
