ISTA-Net: Interpretable Optimization-Inspired Deep Network for Image Compressive Sensing
With the aim of developing a fast yet accurate algorithm for compressive
sensing (CS) reconstruction of natural images, we combine in this paper the
merits of two existing categories of CS methods: the structure insights of
traditional optimization-based methods and the speed of recent network-based
ones. Specifically, we propose a novel structured deep network, dubbed
ISTA-Net, which is inspired by the Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm
(ISTA) for optimizing a general norm CS reconstruction model. To cast
ISTA into deep network form, we develop an effective strategy to solve the
proximal mapping associated with the sparsity-inducing regularizer using
nonlinear transforms. All the parameters in ISTA-Net (\eg nonlinear transforms,
shrinkage thresholds, step sizes, etc.) are learned end-to-end, rather than
being hand-crafted. Moreover, considering that the residuals of natural images
are more compressible, an enhanced version of ISTA-Net in the residual domain,
dubbed {ISTA-Net}, is derived to further improve CS reconstruction.
Extensive CS experiments demonstrate that the proposed ISTA-Nets outperform
existing state-of-the-art optimization-based and network-based CS methods by
large margins, while maintaining fast computational speed. Our source codes are

Accelerated Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Using Joint Low-Rank and Sparsity Constraints
Objective: The purpose of this manuscript is to accelerate cardiac diffusion
tensor imaging (CDTI) by integrating low-rankness and compressed sensing.
Methods: Diffusion-weighted images exhibit both transform sparsity and
low-rankness. These properties can jointly be exploited to accelerate CDTI,
especially when a phase map is applied to correct for the phase inconsistency
across diffusion directions, thereby enhancing low-rankness. The proposed
method is evaluated both ex vivo and in vivo, and is compared to methods using
either a low-rank or sparsity constraint alone. Results: Compared to using a
low-rank or sparsity constraint alone, the proposed method preserves more
accurate helix angle features, the transmural continuum across the myocardium
wall, and mean diffusivity at higher acceleration, while yielding significantly
lower bias and higher intraclass correlation coefficient. Conclusion:
Low-rankness and compressed sensing together facilitate acceleration for both
ex vivo and in vivo CDTI, improving reconstruction accuracy compared to
employing either constraint alone. Significance: Compared to previous methods
for accelerating CDTI, the proposed method has the potential to reach higher
acceleration while preserving myofiber architecture features which may allow
more spatial coverage, higher spatial resolution and shorter temporal footprint
in the future.Comment: 11 pages, 16 figures, published on IEEE Transactions on Biomedical
