MR images scanned at low magnetic field ($<1$T) have lower resolution in the slice direction and lower contrast, due to a relatively small signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than those from high field (typically 1.5T and 3T). We adapt the recent…
1.5T or 3T scanners are the current standard for clinical MRI, but low-field (<1T) scanners are still common in many lower- and middle-income countries for reasons of cost and robustness to power failures. Compared to modern high-field…
Low-field (LF) MRI scanners (<1T) are still prevalent in settings with limited resources or unreliable power supply. However, they often yield images with lower spatial resolution and contrast than high-field (HF) scanners. This quality…
Portable ultra-low-field MRI (uLF-MRI, 0.064 T) offers accessible neuroimaging for neonatal care but suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio and poor diagnostic quality compared to high-field (HF) MRI. We propose MRIQT, a 3D conditional…
Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides affordable access to diagnostic imaging but suffers from prolonged acquisition and limited image quality. Accelerated imaging can be achieved with k-space undersampling, while…
Image Quality Transfer (IQT) aims to enhance the contrast and resolution of low-quality medical images, e.g. obtained from low-power devices, with rich information learned from higher quality images. In contrast to existing IQT methods…
Recent developments in low-field (LF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems present remarkable opportunities for affordable and widespread MRI access. A robust denoising method to overcome the intrinsic low signal-noise-ratio (SNR)…
Low-dose computed tomography (CT) represents a significant improvement in patient safety through lower radiation doses, but increased noise, blur, and contrast loss can diminish diagnostic quality. Therefore, consistency and robustness in…
Low-field (LF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) improves accessibility and reduces costs but generally has lower signal-to-noise ratios and degraded contrast compared to high field (HF) MRI, limiting its clinical utility. Simulating LF MRI…
Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a cost-effective alternative for medical imaging in resource-limited settings. However, its widespread adoption is hindered by two key challenges: prolonged scan times and reduced image…
Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers affordable access to diagnostic imaging but faces challenges such as prolonged acquisition times and reduced image quality. Although accelerated imaging via k-space undersampling helps…
This paper introduces a novel framework for image quality transfer based on conditional flow matching (CFM). Unlike conventional generative models that rely on iterative sampling or adversarial objectives, CFM learns a continuous flow…
This thesis reports advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with the ultimate goal of improving signal and contrast in biomedical applications. More specifically, novel MRI pulse sequences have been designed to characterize…
Recovering a high dynamic range (HDR) image from a single low dynamic range (LDR) image, namely inverse tone mapping (ITM), is challenging due to the lack of information in over- and under-exposed regions. Current methods focus exclusively…
In this paper, we propose an image quality transformer (IQT) that successfully applies a transformer architecture to a perceptual full-reference image quality assessment (IQA) task. Perceptual representation becomes more important in image…
Recent innovations in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) hardware and software have reignited interest in low-field ($<1\,\mathrm{T}$) and ultra-low-field MRI ($<0.1\,\mathrm{T}$). These technologies offer advantages such as lower power…
Image quality assessment (IQA) is an important research topic for understanding and improving visual experience. The current state-of-the-art IQA methods are based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The performance of CNN-based models…
Purpose: Magnetization transfer (MT) and inhomogeneous MT (ihMT) contrasts are used in MRI to provide information about macromolecular tissue content. In particular, MT is sensitive to macromolecules and ihMT appears to be specific to…
Limited accessibility to high field MRI scanners (such as 7T, 11T) has motivated the development of post-processing methods to improve low field images. Several existing post-processing methods have shown the feasibility to improve 3T…
Light field (LF) images containing information for multiple views have numerous applications, which can be severely affected by low-light imaging. Recent learning-based methods for low-light enhancement have some disadvantages, such as a…
