Learned Proximal Networks for Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping.

ABSTRACT: Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) estimates tissue magnetic susceptibility distributions from Magnetic Resonance (MR) phase measurements by solving an ill-posed dipole inversion problem. Conventional single orientation QSM methods usually employ regularization strategies to stabilize such inversion, but may suffer from streaking artifacts or over-smoothing. Multiple orientation QSM such as calculation of susceptibility through multiple orientation sampling (COSMOS) can give well-conditioned inversion and an artifact free solution but has expensive acquisition costs. On the other hand, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) show great potential for medical image reconstruction, albeit often with limited interpretability. Here, we present a Learned Proximal Convolutional Neural Network
