We design a deep learning model Joint-ISTA-Net, which exploits the group sparsity of multi-contrast MR images in our model to improve the reconstruction quality of Compressed Sensing.
Fig 1. Structure of proposed Joint-ISTA-Net and a iterative Share Block. In Share Block, three 3x3 CNN layers with Relu stands forward sparse transformation. Figures in transform domain pass through both individual and joint soft threshold function to be denoised, and then decoded back to image domain. Here joint soft threshold function is implemented to exploit the group sparsity property of multi-contrast MR images.
Fig 2. Comparison of reconstruction method with R=10. Proposed Joint-ISTA-Net has advantages on feature preserving and provides sharper edge.
