Résumé

To propose the simulation-based physics-informed neural network for deconvolution of dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI (SPINNED) as an alternative for more robust and accurate deconvolution compared to existing methods. The SPINNED method was developed by generating synthetic tissue residue functions and arterial input functions through mathematical simulations and by using them to create synthetic DSC MRI time series. The SPINNED model was trained using these simulated data to learn the underlying physical relation (deconvolution) between the DSC-MRI time series and the arterial input functions. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed SPINNED method were assessed by comparing it with two common deconvolution methods in DSC MRI data analysis, circulant singular value decomposition, and Volterra singular value decomposition, using both simulation data and real patient data. The proposed SPINNED method was more accurate than the conventional methods across all SNR levels and showed better robustness against noise in both simulation and real patient data. The SPINNED method also showed much faster processing speed than the conventional methods. These results support that the proposed SPINNED method can be a good alternative to the existing methods for resolving the deconvolution problem in DSC MRI. The proposed method does not require any separate ground-truth measurement for training and offers additional benefits of quick processing time and coverage of diverse clinical scenarios. Consequently, it will contribute to more reliable, accurate, and rapid diagnoses in clinical applications compared with the previous methods including those based on supervised learning.
