We introduce Deep Non-Linear Inversion (DNLINV), a deep image reconstruction approach that may be used with any hardware and acquisition configuration. We
demonstrate DNLINV on different anatomies and sampling patterns and show high
quality reconstructions at higher acceleration factors.
Figure 4. Calibrationless parallel imaging and compressed
sensing on a T1-weighted brain image. All methods were able to successfully
reconstruct the image at R=4.0. However, at R=8.5, only DNLINV was able to
reconstruct the image without any loss of structure. Furthermore, DNLINV reconstructions
have higher apparent SNR.
Figure 5. Autocalibrating parallel imaging with CAIPI
sampling on a T1-weighted brain image. All methods were able to successfully
reconstruct the image at R=16.0 with DNLINV having the highest apparent SNR. At R=25.0, residual
aliasing artifacts remain on ESPIRiT and ENLIVE while these are largely suppressed
in DNLINV.
