In the field of quantitative imaging, the image information at a pixel or voxel in an underlying domain entails crucial information about the imaged matter. This is particularly important in medical imaging applications, such as…

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers superior soft tissue contrast and is widely used in biomedicine. However, conventional MRI is not quantitative, which presents a bottleneck in image analysis and digital healthcare. Typically,…

Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is based on a two-steps approach: estimation of the magnetic moments distribution inside the body, followed by a voxel-by-voxel quantification of the human tissue properties. This splitting…

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) allows images to be compared across sites and time points, which is particularly important for assessing long-term conditions or for longitudinal studies. The multiparametric mapping (MPM)…

Compressed sensing takes advantage of low-dimensional signal structure to reduce sampling requirements far below the Nyquist rate. In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this often takes the form of sparsity through wavelet transform, finite…

Expansion of diffusion MRI (dMRI) both into the realm of strong gradients, and into accessible imaging with portable low-field devices, brings about the challenge of gradient nonlinearities. Spatial variations of the diffusion gradients…

Medical imaging, including MRI, CT, and Ultrasound, plays a vital role in clinical decisions. Accurate segmentation is essential to measure the structure of interest from the image. However, manual segmentation is highly operator-dependent,…

Parallel imaging techniques reduce magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan time but image quality degrades as the acceleration factor increases. In clinical practice, conservative acceleration factors are chosen because no mechanism exists to…

Current deep learning-based manifold learning algorithms such as the variational autoencoder (VAE) require fully sampled data to learn the probability density of real-world datasets. Once learned, the density can be used for a variety of…

High-resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is vital for clinical diagnosis but limited by long acquisition times and motion artifacts. Super-resolution (SR) reconstructs low-resolution scans into high-resolution images, yet existing…
