PurposeQuantitative multi-parameter mapping (MPM) provides maps of physical quantities representing physiologically meaningful tissue characteristics, which allows to investigate microstructure-function relationships reflecting normal or pathologic processes in the brain. However, the achievable spatial resolution and stability of MPM for basic research or clinical applications is severely constrained by SNR limits of the MR acquisition process, resulting in relatively long acquisition times. To increase SNR, we denoise MPM acquisitions using principal component analysis along tensors exploiting the Marchenko-Pastur law (tMPPCA).MethodstMPPCA denoising was applied to three sets of MPM raw data before the quantification of maps of proton density, magnetization transfer saturation, R1, and R2*. The regional SNR gain for high-resolution MPM was investigated as well as reproducibility gains for clinically optimized protocols with moderate and high acceleration factors at different image resolutions.ResultsSubstantial noise reduction in raw data was achieved, resulting in reduced noise for quantitative mapping up to sixfold without introducing bias of mean values (below 1%). Scan-rescan fluctuations were reduced up to threefold. Denoising allowed to decrease the voxel volume fourfold at the same scan time or reduce the scan time twofold at same voxel volume without loss of sensitivity.ConclusionstMPPCA denoising can (a) improve of fine spatial and temporal patterns, (b) considerably reduce scan time for clinical applications, or (c) increase resolution to potentially push cutting-edge MPM protocols from the upper to the lower limit of the mesoscopic scale.
