Abstract

A novel multimodal super-resolution framework is introduced, combining GAN-based synthesis, perceptual constraints, and joint low-rank sparsity regularization to noticeably enhance MR-PET image quality. The architecture integrates modality-specific ResNet encoders, a transformer-based attention fusion block, and a multi-scale PatchGAN discriminator. Training is guided by a hybrid loss function incorporating adversarial, pixel-wise, perceptual (VGG19), and structured Hankel constraints. The proposed method outperforms all baselines in PSNR, SSIM, LPIPS, and diagnostic confidence metrics. Clinical PET metrics, such as SUV recovery and lesion detectability, show substantial improvement. A thorough analysis of computational complexity, dataset composition, training reproducibility, and motion compensation is provided. These findings are visually supported by processed scan panels and benchmark tables. This framework advances reproducible and interpretable hybrid neuroimaging with strong clinical and technical validation.
