Spectral Vision Transformer for Efficient Tokenization with Limited Data

We propose a novel spectral vision transformer architecture for efficient tokenization in limited data, with an emphasis on medical imaging. We outline convenient theoretical properties arising from the choice of basis including spatial invariance and optimal signal-to-noise ratio. We show reduced complexity arising from the spectral projection compared to spatial vision transformers. We show equitable or superior performance with a reduced number of parameters as compared to a variety of models including compact and standard vision transformers, convolutional neural networks with attention, shifted window transformers, multi-layer perceptrons, and logistic regression. We include simulated, public, and clinical data in our analysis and release our code at: \verb+github.com/agr78/spectralViT+.

NeRD: Neural Representation of Distribution for Medical Image Segmentation

We introduce Neural Representation of Distribution (NeRD) technique, a module for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that can estimate the feature distribution by optimizing an underlying function mapping image coordinates to the feature distribution. Using NeRD, we propose an end-to-end deep learning model for medical image segmentation that can compensate the negative impact of feature distribution shifting issue caused by commonly used network operations such as padding and pooling. An implicit function is used to represent the parameter space of the feature distribution by querying the image coordinate. With NeRD, the impact of issues such as over-segmenting and missing have been reduced, and experimental results on the challenging white matter lesion segmentation and left atrial segmentation verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The code is available via https://github.com/tinymilky/NeRD.

Bayesian Learning of Probabilistic Dipole Inversion for Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping

A learning-based posterior distribution estimation method, Probabilistic Dipole Inversion (PDI), is proposed to solve quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) inverse problem in MRI with uncertainty estimation. A deep convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to represent the multivariate Gaussian distribution as the approximated posterior distribution of susceptibility given the input measured field. In PDI, such CNN is firstly trained on healthy subjects dataset with labels by maximizing the posterior Gaussian distribution loss function as used in Bayesian deep learning. When tested on new dataset without any label, PDI updates the pre-trained network in an unsupervised fashion by minimizing the KL divergence between the approximated posterior distribution represented by CNN and the true posterior distribution given the likelihood distribution from known physical model and prior distribution. Based on our experiments, PDI provides additional uncertainty estimation compared to the conventional MAP approach, meanwhile addressing the potential discrepancy issue of CNN when test data deviates from training dataset.

Extending LOUPE for K-space Under-sampling Pattern Optimization in Multi-coil MRI

The previously established LOUPE (Learning-based Optimization of the Under-sampling Pattern) framework for optimizing the k-space sampling pattern in MRI was extended in three folds: firstly, fully sampled multi-coil k-space data from the scanner, rather than simulated k-space data from magnitude MR images in LOUPE, was retrospectively under-sampled to optimize the under-sampling pattern of in-vivo k-space data; secondly, binary stochastic k-space sampling, rather than approximate stochastic k-space sampling of LOUPE during training, was applied together with a straight-through (ST) estimator to estimate the gradient of the threshold operation in a neural network; thirdly, modified unrolled optimization network, rather than modified U-Net in LOUPE, was used as the reconstruction network in order to reconstruct multi-coil data properly and reduce the dependency on training data. Experimental results show that when dealing with the in-vivo k-space data, unrolled optimization network with binary under-sampling block and ST estimator had better reconstruction performance compared to the ones with either U-Net reconstruction network or approximate sampling pattern optimization network, and once trained, the learned optimal sampling pattern worked better than the hand-crafted variable density sampling pattern when deployed with other conventional reconstruction methods.
