This study challenges the validity of retrospective undersampling in MRI data science by analysis via an MRI physics simulation. We demonstrate that retrospective undersampling, a method often used to create training data for reconstruction models, can inherently alter MRI signals from their prospective counterparts. This arises from the sequential nature of MRI acquisition, where undersampling post-acquisition effectively alters the MR sequence and the magnetization dynamic in a non-linear fashion.

摘要

This study challenges the validity of retrospective undersampling in MRI data science by analysis via an MRI physics simulation. We demonstrate that retrospective undersampling, a method often used to create training data for reconstruction models, can inherently alter MRI signals from their prospective counterparts. This arises from the sequential nature of MRI acquisition, where undersampling post-acquisition effectively alters the MR sequence and the magnetization dynamic in a non-linear fashion.
