Data Consistency for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

---

Data Consistency (DC) is crucial for generalization in multi-modal MRI data and robustness in detecting pathology.

This repo implements the following reconstruction methods:

• Cascades of Independently Recurrent Inference Machines (CIRIM) [1],
• Independently Recurrent Inference Machines (IRIM) [2, 3],
• End-to-End Variational Network (E2EVN), [4, 5]
• the UNet [5, 6],
• Compressed Sensing (CS) [7], and
• zero-filled reconstruction (ZF).

The CIRIM, the RIM, and the E2EVN target unrolled optimization by gradient descent. Thus, DC is implicitly enforced. Through cascades DC can be explicitly enforced by a designed term [1, 4].

Usage

Check on scripts how to train models and run a method for reconstruction.

Check on tools for preprocessing and evaluation tools.

Recommended public datasets to use with this repo:

• fastMRI [5].
