We present a new approach to
manifold learning-based image reconstruction for
dynamic MR that can be seen as a generalized low-rank matrix/tensor model. The geometries of the manifold are learned locally and images are reconstructed globally, aligning the tangent spaces in each neighborhood.
Figure 3: Comparison
of the proposed method with Low-Rank (LR) reconstructions. The first row shows
representative images obtained by the LR reconstruction with rank 20 using k-space
data of 3-min acquisition (reference). The rows 2 to 4 show reconstructions
using only 45 sec of data. The 2nd row shows images reconstructed using
a global LR model of rank 20. The 3rd row shows images obtained by
performing a rank-10 local LR reconstruction (i.e. at each neighborhood). The 4th
row shows the images using the proposed method where the dimension of each
tangent space is 10.
Figure 2: Global
coordinates (spatial coefficients) and affine transform matrices of the
proposed method. The 10×10 affine transform matrix L−1c is represented using grey levels. The 1st component of T is a temporal average of all the
neighborhoods. Our proposed model successfully describes the local coordinates
by applying an affine transform L−1c to the global coordinates T at each neighborhood c. The green dashed lines
indicate the position of the liver for the 1st component of the 1st
neighborhood.
