A
deep learning model with adaptive convolutional neural networks is developed for
k-space data interpolation. Ablation and experimental results show that our method
achieves better image reconstruction than existing state-of-the-art techniques.

residual Encoder-Decoder network of CNNs (top and middle), enhanced by
frequency-attention and channel-attention layers (bottom), for image
reconstruction from undersampled k-space
data.
Figure-2. Visualization
of representative cases of the Stanford knee dataset (top row) and the fastMRI
brain dataset (bottom row), including images reconstructed from the fully
sampled data and from under-sampled data without CNN processing. The difference
images were amplified 5 times for Stanford cases and 10 times for fastMRI
dataset. Yellow and red boxes indicate the zoomed-in and difference images,
respectively.
