Abstract: Recovering diagnostic-quality cardiac MR images from highly under-sampled data is a current research focus, particularly in addressing cardiac and respiratory motion. Techniques such as Compressed Sensing (CS) and Parallel Imaging (pMRI) have been proposed to accelerate MRI data acquisition and improve image quality. However, these methods have limitations in high spatial-resolution applications, often resulting in blurring or residual artifacts. Recently, deep learning-based techniques have gained attention for their accuracy and efficiency in image reconstruction. Deep learning-based MR image reconstruction methods are divided into two categories: (a) single domain methods (image domain learning and k-space domain learning) and (b) cross/dual domain methods. Single domain methods, which typically use U-Net in either the image or k-space domain, fail to fully exploit the correlation between these domains. This paper introduces a dual-domain deep learning approach that incorporates multi-coil data consistency (MCDC) layers for reconstructing cardiac MR images from 1-D Variable Density (VD) random under-sampled data. The proposed hybrid dual-domain deep learning models integrate data from both the domains to improve image quality, reduce artifacts, and enhance overall robustness and accuracy of the reconstruction process. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform than conventional deep learning and CS techniques, as evidenced by higher Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and higher Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR).
