PIFON-EPT: MR-Based Electrical Property Tomography Using Physics-Informed Fourier Networks (2302.11883v4)

Published 23 Feb 2023 in cs.LG and cs.AI

Abstract: We propose Physics-Informed Fourier Networks for Electrical Properties (EP) Tomography (PIFON-EPT), a novel deep learning-based method for EP reconstruction using noisy and/or incomplete magnetic resonance (MR) measurements. Our approach leverages the Helmholtz equation to constrain two networks, responsible for the denoising and completion of the transmit fields, and the estimation of the object's EP, respectively. We embed a random Fourier features mapping into our networks to enable efficient learning of high-frequency details encoded in the transmit fields. We demonstrated the efficacy of PIFON-EPT through several simulated experiments at 3 and 7 tesla (T) MR imaging, and showed that our method can reconstruct physically consistent EP and transmit fields. Specifically, when only $20\%$ of the noisy measured fields were used as inputs, PIFON-EPT reconstructed the EP of a phantom with $\leq 5\%$ error, and denoised and completed the measurements with $\leq 1\%$ error. Additionally, we adapted PIFON-EPT to solve the generalized Helmholtz equation that accounts for gradients of EP between inhomogeneities. This yielded improved results at interfaces between different materials without explicit knowledge of boundary conditions. PIFON-EPT is the first method that can simultaneously reconstruct EP and transmit fields from incomplete noisy MR measurements, providing new opportunities for EPT research.
