CloudBrain-ReconAI: An Online Platform for MRI Reconstruction and Image Quality Evaluation

Efficient collaboration between engineers and radiologists is important for image reconstruction algorithm development and image quality evaluation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, we develop CloudBrain-ReconAI, an online cloud computing platform, for algorithm deployment, fast and blind reader study. This platform supports online image reconstruction using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and compressed sensing algorithms with applications to fast imaging and high-resolution diffusion imaging. Through visiting the website, radiologists can easily score and mark the images. Then, automatic statistical analysis will be provided. CloudBrain-ReconAI is now open accessed at https://csrc.xmu.edu.cn/CloudBrain.html and will be continually improved to serve the MRI research community.

XCloud-pFISTA: A Medical Intelligence Cloud for Accelerated MRI

Machine learning and artificial intelligence have shown remarkable performance in accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cloud computing technologies have great advantages in building an easily accessible platform to deploy advanced algorithms. In this work, we develop an open-access, easy-to-use and high-performance medical intelligence cloud computing platform (XCloud-pFISTA) to reconstruct MRI images from undersampled k-space data. Two state-of-the-art approaches of the Projected Fast Iterative Soft-Thresholding Algorithm (pFISTA) family have been successfully implemented on the cloud. This work can be considered as a good example of cloud-based medical image reconstruction and may benefit the future development of integrated reconstruction and online diagnosis system.
