Abstract
We introduce and demonstrate an unsupervised machine learning method for spectroscopic analysis of quantitative MRI (qMRI) experiments. qMRI data can support estimation of multidimensional correlation (or single-dimensional) spectra, which allow model-free investigation of tissue properties, but this requires an ill-posed calculation. Moreover, in the vast majority of applications ground truth knowledge is unobtainable, preventing the application of supervised machine learning. Here we present a new method that addresses these limitations in a data-driven way. The algorithm simultaneously estimates a canonical basis of spectral components and voxelwise maps of their weightings, thereby pooling information across whole images to regularise the ill-posed problem. We show that our algorithm substantially outperforms current voxelwise spectral approaches. We demonstrate the method on combined diffusion-relaxometry placental MRI scans, revealing anatomically-relevant substructures, and identifying dysfunctional placentas. Our algorithm vastly reduces the data required to reliably estimate multidimensional correlation (or single-dimensional) spectra, opening up the possibility of spectroscopic imaging in a wide range of new applications.
