Conditional diffusion-generated super-resolution for myocardial perfusion MRI by Changyu Sun, Changyu Sun, Neha Goyal, Yu Wang, Darla L. Tharp, Senthil Kumar, Talissa A. Altes

“…While techniques like parallel imaging and compressed sensing have significantly advanced perfusion imaging, they still suffer from noise amplification, residual artifacts, and potential temporal blurring due to the rapid transit of dynamic contrast vs. the temporal constraints of the reconstruction.MethodsThis study introduces a conditional diffusion-based generative model for myocardial perfusion MRI super resolution, addressing the trade-offs between spatiotemporal resolution and slice coverage. We adapted Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) to enhance low-resolution perfusion images into high-resolution outputs without requiring temporal regularization. …”
