MRI upsampling using feature-based nonlocal means approach.

Abstract:

:In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), spatial resolution is limited by several factors such as acquisition time, short physiological phenomena, and organ motion. The acquired image usually has higher resolution in two dimensions (the acquisition plane) in comparison with the third dimension, resulting in highly anisotropic voxel size. Interpolation of these low resolution (LR) images using standard techniques, such as linear or spline interpolation, results in distorted edges in the planes perpendicular to the acquisition plane. This poses limitation on conducting quantitative analyses of LR images, particularly on their voxel-wise analysis and registration. We have proposed a new non-local means feature-based technique that uses structural information of a high resolution (HR) image with a different contrast and interpolates the LR image. In this approach, the similarity between voxels is estimated using a feature vector that characterizes the laminar pattern of the brain structures, resulting in a more accurate similarity measure in comparison with conventional patch-based approach. This technique can be applied to LR images with both anisotropic and isotropic voxel sizes. Experimental results conducted on brain MRI scans of patients with brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, as well as schizophrenic patients and normal controls show that the proposed method is more accurate, requires fewer computations, and thus is significantly faster than a previous state-of-the-art patch-based technique. We also show how the proposed method may be used to upsample regions of interest drawn on LR images.
