TL;DR

A model-driven bilevel optimization framework that couples SENSE-based image reconstruction with SPIRiT-based k-space calibration through shared CSMs, and introduces a deep-prior-guided regularization strategy that preserves the structure of classical linear regularizers while adaptively learning spatially varying regularization weights from denoised intermediate reconstructions.

Enhancing Implicit Neural Representations with Image Feature Embedding for Unsupervised Cardiac Cine MRI Reconstruction

This work proposes an image-domain dual-branch INR framework, termed I-FP-INR, which extends the original INR design by introducing an additional feature-processing branch, which aims to extract complementary feature embeddings to enhance the overall representation, thereby benefiting reconstruction.

Joint Reconstruction of Multiple b‐Values and Multiple Directions for Accelerating Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging

While multishot interleaved echo‐planar imaging (iEPI) enables higher resolution diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) compared to single‐shot EPI, its clinical application is hindered by the lengthy acquisition time. This study proposes a novel model‐based reconstruction approach to accelerate iEPI DKI acquisition.

Consistency Models for Fast MRI Reconstruction Using Regularization by Denoising

Diffusion models (DMs) have emerged as powerful generative priors for MRI reconstruction with promising results. Yet DM-based methods require extensive iterative refinement, limiting their practical deployment. Consistency models (CMs) provide a compelling alternative, aiming to map out the diffusion trajectory in a single pass, enabling faster generation. In this work, we propose CM-RED, a novel MRI reconstruction method that integrates a pretrained CM into the regularization by denoising (RED) scheme. Our method builds on accelerated proximal gradient RED (RED-APG), and further incorporates controlled noise injection during the update steps to enhance generative diversity and accelerate convergence. Extensive experiments on the fastMRI knee and brain datasets demonstrate that CM-RED achieves high-quality reconstructions across multiple anatomies, contrast weights, acceleration factors, and undersampling patterns, using only 4 network function evaluations (NFEs). The proposed method consistently outperforms existing DM- and CM-based approaches in both quantitative metrics and visual fidelity, and exhibits strong robustness to hyperparameter variations, highlighting CM-RED as an efficient and effective generative framework for accelerated MRI reconstruction. The source code and pretrained models are publicly available at https://github.com/MerveGulle/CM-RED.
