Abstract

Deep learning techniques have gained considerable attention for their ability to accelerate MRI data acquisition while maintaining scan quality. In this work, we present a convolutional neural network (CNN) based framework for learning undersampling patterns directly from multi-coil MRI data. Unlike prior approaches that rely on in-training mask optimization, our method is trained with precomputed scan-adaptive optimized masks as supervised labels, enabling efficient and robust scan-specific sampling. The training procedure alternates between optimizing a reconstructor and a data-driven sampling network, which generates scan-specific sampling patterns from observed low-frequency $k$-space data. Experiments on the fastMRI multi-coil knee dataset demonstrate significant improvements in sampling efficiency and image reconstruction quality, providing a robust framework for enhancing MRI acquisition through deep learning.
