Abstract

In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the acquired images are usually not of high enough resolution due to constraints such as long sampling times and patient comfort. High-resolution MRI images can be obtained by super-resolution techniques, which can be grouped into two categories: single-contrast super-resolution and multi-contrast super-resolution, where the former has no reference information, and the latter applies a high-resolution image of another modality as a reference. In this paper, we propose a deep convolutional neural network model, which performs single- and multi-contrast super-resolution reconstructions simultaneously. Experimental results on synthetic and real brain MRI images show that our convolutional neural network model outperforms state-of-the-art MRI super-resolution methods in terms of visual quality and objective quality criteria such as peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Deep learning approaches have been introduced for MRI super-resolution.

    “Recently deep learning approaches has been introduced, e.g. generating super-resolution single (no reference information) and multi-contrast (applying a high-resolution image of another modality as reference) brain MR images using CNNs [197]; constructing superresolution brain MRI by a CNN stacked by multi-scale fusion units [198]; and super-resolution musculoskeletal MRI ('DeepResolve') [199].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
