At present, most accelerated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction algorithms reconstruct undersampled amplitude images and use real-value convolution for feature extraction, without considering that the MRI data itself is complex, which limits the feature extraction ability of MRI complex data. In order to improve the feature extraction ability of single slice MRI complex data, and thus reconstruct single slice MRI images with clearer details, a Complex Convolution Dual-Domain Cascade Network (ComConDuDoCNet) was proposed. The original undersampled MRI data was used as input, and Residual Feature Aggregation (RFA) blocks were used to alternately extract the dual domain features of the MRI data, ultimately reconstructing the Magnetic Resonance (MR) images with clear texture details. Complex convolution was used as a feature extractor for each RFA block. Different domains were cascaded through Fourier transform or inverse transform, and data consistency layer was added to achieve data fidelity. A large number of experiments were conducted on publicly available knee joint dataset. The comparison results with the Dual-task Dual-domain Network (DDNet) under three different sampling masks with a sampling rate of 20% show that: under the two-dimensional Gaussian sampling mask, the proposed algorithm decreases Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE) by 13.6%, increases Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) by 4.3%, and increases Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) by 0.8%; under the Poisson sampling mask, the proposed algorithm decreases NRMSE by 11.0%, increases PSNR by 3.5%, and increases SSIM by 0.1%; under the radial sampling mask, the proposed algorithm decreases NRMSE by 12.3%, increases PSNR by 3.8%, and increases SSIM by 0.2%. The experimental results show that ComConDuDoCNet, combined with complex convolution and dual-domain learning, can reconstruct MR images with clearer details and more realistic visual effects.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely used in the diagnosis of complex diseases because of its non-invasiveness and good soft tissue contrast. Due to the low speed of MRI, most of the acceleration is currently performed by highly undersampled Magnetic Resonance (MR) signals in k-space. However, the representative algorithms often have the problem of blurred details when reconstructing highly undersampled MR images. Therefore, a highly undersampled MR image reconstruction algorithm based on Residual Graph Convolutional Neural nETwork (RGCNET) was proposed. Firstly, auto-encoding technology and Graph Convolutional neural Network (GCN) were used to build a generator. Secondly, the undersampled image was input into the feature extraction (encoder) network to extract features at the bottom layer. Thirdly, the high-level features of MR images were extracted by the GCN block. Fourthly, the initial reconstructed image was generated through the decoder network. Finally, the final high-resolution reconstructed image was obtained through a dynamic game between the generator and the discriminator. Test results on FastMRI dataset show that at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% sampling rates, compared with spatial orthogonal attention mechanism based MRI reconstruction algorithm SOGAN(Spatial Orthogonal attention Generative Adversarial Network), the proposed algorithm decreases 3.5%, 26.6%, 23.9%, 13.3% and 14.3% on Normalized Root Mean Square Error (NRMSE), increases 1.2%, 8.7%, 6.9%, 2.9% and 3.2% on Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and increases 0.8%, 2.9%, 1.5%, 0.5% and 0.5% on Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) respectively. At the same time, subjective observation also proves that the proposed algorithm can preserve more details and have more realistic visual effects.
