Fourier Domain Robust Denoising Decomposition and Adaptive Patch MRI Reconstruction.

Abstract

The sparsity of the Fourier transform domain has been applied to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction in k -space. Although unsupervised adaptive patch optimization methods have shown promise compared to data-driven-based supervised methods, the following challenges exist in MRI reconstruction: 1) in previous k -space MRI reconstruction tasks, MRI with noise interference in the acquisition process is rarely considered. 2) Differences in transform domains should be resolved to achieve the high-quality reconstruction of low undersampled MRI data. 3) Robust patch dictionary learning problems are usually nonconvex and NP-hard, and alternate minimization methods are often computationally expensive. In this article, we propose a method for Fourier domain robust denoising decomposition and adaptive patch MRI reconstruction (DDAPR). DDAPR is a two-step optimization method for MRI reconstruction in the presence of noise and low undersampled data. It includes the low-rank and sparse denoising reconstruction model (LSDRM) and the robust dictionary learning reconstruction model (RDLRM). In the first step, we propose LSDRM for different domains. For the optimization solution, the proximal gradient method is used to optimize LSDRM by singular value decomposition and soft threshold algorithms. In the second step, we propose RDLRM, which is an effective adaptive patch method by introducing a low-rank and sparse penalty adaptive patch dictionary and using a sparse rank-one matrix to approximate the undersampled data. Then, the block coordinate descent (BCD) method is used to optimize the variables. The BCD optimization process involves valid closed-form solutions. Extensive numerical experiments show that the proposed method has a better performance than previous methods in image reconstruction based on compressed sensing or deep learning.
