Super resolution reconstruction for quantitative imaging

Abstract:

We developed a super-resolution reconstruction methodology for diffusion and relaxometry MRI. It allows to improve the trade-off between acquisition time, spatial resolution and SNR. From a set of low resolution multi-slice images, each with a different (diffusion or relaxometry) contrast, an image is reconstructed with a much higher spatial resolution compared to a 3D image that is directly acquired in the same time frame.
