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.
