In order to effectively solve the problems of not obvious boundaries, unclear abdominal organ display caused by high-frequency detail loss as well as the inconvenient application of single-model single-scale reconstruction in the super-resolution reconstruction of abdominal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images, a multi-scale super-resolution algorithm based on parallel channel-spatial attention mechanism was proposed. Firstly, parallel channel-spatial attention residual blocks were built. The correlation between the key area and high-frequency information was obtained by the spatial attention module, and the channel attention module was used to study the weights of the channels of the image to the key information response degree. At the same time, the feature extraction layer of the network was widened to increase the feature information flowing into the attention module. In addition, the weight normalized layer was added to ensure the training efficiency of the network. Finally, a multi-scale up-sampling layer was applied at the end of the network to increase the flexibility and applicability of the network. Experimental results show that, compared with the image super-resolution using very deep Residual Channel Attention Network (RCAN), the proposed algorithm has the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) averagely increased by 0.68 dB at the×2,×3 and×4 scales. The proposed algorithm effectively improves the reconstructed image quality.
