Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging has been widely applied in clinical diagnosis. However, it is limited by its long data acquisition time. Although the imaging can be accelerated by sparse sampling and parallel imaging, achieving promising reconstructed images with a fast computation speed remains a challenge. Recently, deep learning methods have attracted a lot of attention for encouraging reconstruction results, but they are lack of proper interpretability for neural networks. In this work, in order to enable high-quality image reconstruction for the parallel magnetic resonance imaging, we design the network structure from the perspective of sparse iterative reconstruction and enhance it with the residual structure. Experimental results on a public knee dataset indicate that, as compared with the state-of-the-art deep learning-based and optimization-based methods, the proposed network achieves lower error in reconstruction and is more robust under different samplings.
