Abstract

The acquisition time for different MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) image modalities pose a unique challenge to the efficient usage of the contemporary radiology technologies. The ability to synthesize one modality from another can benefit the diagnostic utility of the scans. Currently, all the exploration in the field of medical image to image translation is focused on NIfTI (Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative) images. However, DICOM (Bidgood et al., 1997) images are the prevalent image standard in MRI centers. Here, we propose a modified deep learning network based on U-Net architecture for T1-Weighted image (T1WI) modality to T2-Weighted image (T2WI) modality image to image translation for DICOM images and vice versa. Our deep learning model exploits the pixel wise features between T1W images and T2W images which are important to understand the brain structures. The observations indicate better performance of our approach to the previous state-of-the-art methods. Our approach can help to decrease the acquisition time required for the scans and thus, also avoid motion artifacts.
