| Zusammenfassung | In this work, we consider the task of image reconstruction in 2D radial cardiac cine MRI using deep learning (DL)-based regularization. As the regularization is achieved by employing an image-prior predicted by a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN), the quality of the image-prior is of essential importance. The achievable performance of any DL-based method is limited by the amount and the quality of the available training data. For fast dynamic processes, obtaining good-quality MR data is challenging because of technical and physiological reasons. In this work, we try to overcome these problems by a transfer-learning approach which is motivated by a previously presented DL-method (XT,YT U-Net). There, instead of training the network on the whole 2D dynamic images, it is trained on 2D spatio-temporal profiles (xt,yt-slices) which show the temporal changes of the imaged object. Therefore, for the training and test data, it is more important that their spatio-temporal profiles share similar local features rather than being images of the same anatomy. This allows us to equip arbitrary data with simulated motion that resembles the cardiac motion and use it as training data. By doing so, it is possible to train a CNN which is applicable to cardiac cine MR data without using ground-truth cine MR images for training. We demonstrate that combining XT,YT U-Net with the proposed transfer-learning strategy delivers comparable performance to CNNs trained on cardiac cine MR images and in some cases even qualitatively surpasses these. Additionally, the transfer-learning strategy was investigated for a 2D and 3D U-Net. The images processed by the the CNNs were used as image-priors in the CNN-regularized iterative reconstruction. The XT,YT U-Net yielded visibly better results than the 2D U-Net and slightly better results than the 3D U-Net when used in combination with the presented transfer learning-strategy. |
