Dual-Domain Differentiated Feature Extraction Network for MRI Reconstruction
-
摘要: 在磁共振成像(MRI)中通过对$ k $空间数据进行欠采样可以加速成像,从欠采样数据中重建出高质量磁共振图像在临床诊断中具有重要价值。目前,利用空间域和频域双域特征的重建方式已成为主流,但现有双域MRI重建方法未能对空域和频域分别设计差异化的特征提取策略,且物理先验约束不足,容易在重建过程中丢失原始信息。因此,该文提出一种双域差异化特征提取的MRI重建网络。首先,在空间域中设计行–列交替自注意力机制同时结合深度卷积,以精细刻画各向异性结构与纹理细节,弥补传统卷积特征提取不足问题。其次,在频域中对幅频特性与相频特性进行独立建模,分别捕获强度信息与结构位置信息并引入频域特征增强模块,以充分利用频谱信息提高重建保真度。最后,通过在网络中加入数据一致性层并设计一种跨域调控模块,将物理先验与跨域信息相融合以强化测量约束并稳定重建过程。与6种MRI重建算法对比,该文模型在公开MRI数据集CC359和IXI上都优于对比算法,其中在高斯一维掩膜30%欠采样条件下,PSNR分别提升了0.17 dB, 0.23 dB,SSIM分別提升了

Reconstructing high-quality images from undersampled data is clinically important for improving diagnostic efficiency. Dual-domain reconstruction methods that jointly exploit spatial- and frequency-domain features are now widely used. However, existing dual-domain MRI reconstruction methods lack differentiated feature extraction strategies for the two domains and sufficient physical prior constraints, leading to the loss of original information during reconstruction. Methods To address these issues, this study proposes a Dual-Domain Differentiated Feature Extraction Network (DDF-Net) for MRI reconstruction. In the spatial domain, an interlaced row-column self-attention mechanism is combined with depthwise convolution to accurately capture anisotropic structures and texture details, addressing the limitations of conventional convolutional feature extraction. In the frequency domain, amplitude and phase characteristics are modeled independently to capture intensity and spatial location information, respectively. A frequency-domain feature enhancement module is used to fully exploit spectral information and improve reconstruction fidelity. Finally, a data consistency layer and a cross-domain adjustment module are incorporated to integrate physical priors and cross-domain information, reinforce measurement consistency, and stabilize reconstruction. Results and Discussions The proposed DDF-Net is evaluated on two publicly available MRI datasets, CC359 and IXI, and compared with six representative reconstruction algorithms, including DAGAN, KIKI-Net, MD-Recon-Net, SwinMR, Reconmer, and KTMR. As shown in Fig. 6 andFig. 7 , DDF-Net achieves the most faithful anatomical reconstruction under a one-dimensional Gaussian undersampling mask with a 30% sampling rate. It produces clearer cortical edges and finer texture details and effectively suppresses aliasing artifacts. The error maps exhibit more uniform residual distributions, indicating better consistency between the reconstructed and reference images. Quantitative comparisons (Table 1 andTable 2 ) show that DDF-Net attains the highest Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) values across all sampling patterns. Specifically, on the CC359 and IXI datasets, respectively, the improvements over the second-best method are 0.17 dB and 0.23 dB in PSNR and 0.0037 and 0.0029 in SSIM, yielding the best overall performance. These results demonstrate that differentiated feature extraction in the spatial and frequency domains enables DDF-Net to use complementary information from both domains for more accurate reconstruction. To further assess robustness, a noise experiment is conducted following the procedure used for SwinMR. Gaussian noise of varying intensities is added to the k-space data to vary the Noise Level (NL). As illustrated in Fig. 8 and summarized inTable 3 , DDF-Net is more robust to noise perturbations than SwinMR, maintaining higher PSNR and SSIM values under all tested noise conditions. Even at NL = 80%, DDF-Net effectively preserves most structural details, confirming that amplitude-phase separation and multiple data consistency layers jointly improve noise robustness and reconstruction stability.Conclusions This study proposes DDF-Net, an end-to-end network that addresses the limitations of existing dual-domain MRI reconstruction methods. These methods often lack differentiated feature extraction strategies for the two domains and sufficient physical prior constraints, which can lead to information loss during reconstruction. In the spatial domain, an interlaced row-column self-attention mechanism is designed to more effectively model local structures and texture details. In the frequency domain, amplitude-phase separation and a frequency-domain feature enhancement module improve the decoupling and utilization of spectral information. Furthermore, integrating a cross-domain adjustment module with multiple data consistency layers enhances cross-domain interaction and measurement consistency. Experimental results on the CC359 and IXI datasets demonstrate that DDF-Net achieves superior quantitative performance and visual reconstruction quality, recovering fine anatomical details. In addition, noise experiments confirm its robustness under complex conditions, showing that the network effectively preserves image details across different noise levels. Future work will focus on extending DDF-Net to unsupervised or semi-supervised learning frameworks to reduce dependence on labeled data and further enhance its potential for clinical applications in fast MRI reconstruction. -
