A new approach integrating imaging physics and representation learning is introduced to solve the separation problem of metabolite and macromolecule signals in short-TE data. By using deep autoencoders to learn low-dimensional representations and a constrained reconstruction formulation, an efficient algorithm is developed to effectively separate the signals. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the capability of the proposed method in practical H-1-MRSI data.
Short-echo-time (TE) proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) allows for simultaneously mapping a number of molecules in the brain, and has been recognized as an important tool for studying in vivo biochemistry in various neuroscience and disease applications. However, separation of the metabolite and macromolecule (MM) signals present in the short-TE data with significant spectral overlaps remains a major technical challenge. This work introduces a new approach to solve this problem by integrating imaging physics and representation learning. Specifically, a mixed unsupervised and supervised learning-based strategy was developed to learn the metabolite and MM-specific low-dimensional representations using deep autoencoders. A constrained reconstruction formulation is proposed to integrate the MRSI spatiospectral encoding model and the learned representations as effective constraints for signal separation. An efficient algorithm was developed to solve the resulting optimization problem with provable convergence. Simulation and experimental results have been obtained to demonstrate the component-specific representation power of the learned models and the capability of the proposed method in separating metabolite and MM signals for practical short-TE H-1-MRSI data.
