Project

Multi-Contrast MRI Image Synthesis Using Switchable Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks.

Introduction: Multi-contrast MRI images use different echo and repetition times to highlight different tissues. However, not all desired image contrasts may be available due to scan-time limitations, suboptimal signal-to-noise ratio, and/or image artifacts. In this project, we developed a switchable CycleGAN model for image synthesis between multi-contrast brain MRI images using a large set of publicly accessible pediatric structural brain MRI images. We conducted extensive experiments to compare switchable CycleGAN with original CycleGAN both quantitatively and qualitatively. Experimental results demonstrate that switchable CycleGAN is able to outperform CycleGAN model on pediatric MRI brain image synthesis.
