Abstract
This paper considers the problem of undersampled MRI reconstruction. We propose a novel Transformer-based framework for directly processing signal in k-space, going beyond the limitation of regular grids as ConvNets do. We adopt an implicit representation of k-space spectrogram, treating spatial coordinates as inputs, and dynamically query the sparsely sampled points to reconstruct the spectrogram, i.e. learning the inductive bias in k-space. To strike a balance between computational cost and reconstruc- tion quality, we build the decoder with hierarchical structure to generate low-resolution and high-resolution outputs respectively. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we have conducted extensive experiments on two public datasets, and demonstrate superior or comparable performance to state-of-the-art approaches.Video
