Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can generate multimodal scans with complementary contrast information, capturing various anatomical or functional properties of organs of interest. But whilst the acquisition of multiple modalities is favourable in clinical and research settings, it is hindered by a range of practical factors that include cost and imaging artefacts.We propose XmoNet, a deep-learning architecture based on fully convolutional networks (FCNs) that enables cross-modality MR image inference. This multiple branch architecture operates on various levels of image spatial resolutions, encoding rich feature hierarchies suited for this image generation task. We illustrate the utility of XmoNet in learning the mapping between heterogeneous T1- and T2-weighted MRI scans for accurate and realistic image synthesis in a preliminary analysis. Our ndings support scaling the work to include larger samples and additional modalities.
