Joint training of reconstruction network, sampling pattern and data sharing for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI was investigated. The temporal degree of freedom of the sampling pattern and learned data sharing can improve the reconstruction accuracy.
Figure 1. The network structure with joint learning of sampling pattern and data sharing. The interconnections in the data sharing stage highlight the different data sharing used by each frame.
Figure 2. Exemplary reconstruction results of a testing frame. The (a) ground truth, (b, c) with temporal DoF and data sharing (model A) and its error map, (d, e) with temporal DoF and without data sharing (model B) and its error map, (f, g) without temporal DoF and data sharing (model C) and its error map, and (h, i) trained with pseudo golden angle radial sampling and without data sharing (model D) and its error map are shown. Model A shows better qualitative reconstruction quality.
