Interactive Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging using jointly optimized spiral acquisition and deep artifact suppression network.

Interactive MR sequences have relatively low spatial and temporal resolution due to the limited acquisition and reconstruction time available. We propose to jointly optimize a variable density spiral acquisition and deep artifact suppression network (via a bandit-based approach) to maximize acquisition and reconstruction efficiency and provide interactive high spatio-temporal resolution images. The proposed approach was characterized in simulations and demonstrated prospectively in-vivo, offering promising performance with improved image quality and good handling of abrupt scan-plane changes.
