Thomas Wischgoll (advisor)\, Mark E. Haa cke (Wayne State University)\, Nasser H. Kashou\, Arthur Goshtasby\, and T anvi BanerjeeABSTRACT:Brain diseases\, in addition to the human suffering\ , have a huge economic burden to the world’s economy. This will grow in th e future due to the relation of brain diseases with aging and increase in life expectancy. Therefore\, the need for the diagnostic tools that enable doctors to provide more accurate and faster diagnosis is critical.One of the widely used imaging tools for brain diseases diagnosis is Magnetic Res onance Imaging (MRI). MRI is a structural modality that provides excellent soft tissue contrast. Furthermore\, MRI is an ideal technique to study th e development of fetal brain due to being harmless since it does not invol ve radiation.In spite of all these unbeatable advantages\, MRI suffers fro m limited spatial resolution which may result in reducing the accuracy of diagnosis and precision of any measurements of the size and morphology of the specific structure. For acquiring a high-resolution MRI\, the patient needs to remain still in the MRI scanner for a longer period of time. In s ome applications such as fetal brain development\, longer scans might not be possible. Therefore\, the need for post-acquisition resolution enhancem ent is important.Super Resolution reconstruction techniques are the soluti on to this problem. In this study\, we are proposing a constraint-based su per resolution technique to reconstruct the high-resolution MRI from singl e low-resolution MRI. Results of this research are beneficial to clinical applications in reducing the scan time and providing better visualizations of the brain to increase the accuracy of the diseases diagnosis\, treatme nt process\, and surgical planning.
