Motion Correction in low SNR MRI using an approximate Rician log-likelihood
Some MRI acquisitions, such as Sodium imaging, produce data with very low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and meaningful analysis may require several images to be averaged. As the data contains substantial noise, motion correction using standard registration tools may not be effective. This paper employs a simple generative model for the data, where the error is described as following a Rician distribution, which more accurately characterised the image noise. Maximum a posteriori inference is enabled by a differentiable approximation to the Rician log-likelihood function. We find that this approach substantially outperforms a Gaussian log-likelihood baseline on synthetic data that has been corrupted by Rician noise of varying degrees. We show results of our approach on real Sodium MRI data, and demonstrate that we can reduces the effects of substantial motion.

Rician likelihood loss for quantitative MRI using self-supervised deep learning
Purpose: Previous quantitative MR imaging studies using self-supervised deep learning have reported biased parameter estimates at low SNR. Such systematic errors arise from the choice of Mean Squared Error (MSE) loss fun…

Robust Bayesian Method for Refutable Models
We propose a robust Bayesian method for economic models that can be rejected by some data distributions. The econometrician starts with a refutable structural assumption which can be written as the intersection of severa…
