TBrecon: Towards Integration of DL Image Reconstruction and Post-Processing Tasks

We are currently working on collecting, annotating, and distributing 3D high-resolution knee MRI data, specifically related to knee osteoarthritis. This dataset includes multi-tissue segmentation and anomaly grading. In our project, we aim to leverage the power of multi-task learning to simultaneously address reconstruction and post-processing tasks within an integrated framework, which encompasses segmentation and object detection. To achieve this, we are developing a strategy based on adversarial robust training and confounding factors learning to ensure the reconstruction of small, rare features, even in under-sampled acquisitions.
