Abstract
En 中文
Recently, diffusion models have shown considerable promise for MRI reconstruction. However, extensive experimentation has revealed that these models are prone to generating artifacts due to the inherent randomness involved in generating images from pure noise. To achieve more controlled image reconstruction, we reexamine the concept of interpolatable physical priors in k-space data, focusing specifically on the interpolation of high-frequency (HF) k-space data from low-frequency (LF) k-space data. Broadly, this insight drives a shift in the generation paradigm from random noise to a more deterministic approach grounded in the existing LF k-space data. Building on this, we first establish a relationship between the interpolation of HF k-space data from LF k-space data and the reverse heat diffusion process, providing a fundamental framework for designing diffusion models that generate missing HF data. To further improve reconstruction accuracy, we integrate a traditional physics-informed k-space interpolation model into our diffusion framework as a data fidelity term. Experimental validation using publicly available datasets demonstrates that our approach significantly surpasses traditional k-space interpolation methods, deep learning-based k-space interpolation techniques, and conventional diffusion models, particularly in HF regions. Finally, we assess the generalization performance of our model across various out-of-distribution datasets. Our code are available at https://github.com/ZhuoxuCui/Heat-Diffusion.
