# VSSR: View-Specialized Sequential Refinement for Accelerated MRI

**Post-Reconstruction Volumetric Refinement for Accelerated MRI via Cross-Plane Consistency**

*IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference (EMBC) 2026 β€” Paper ID: 4868*

## Overview

VSSR is a post-reconstruction refinement framework for accelerated MRI. Three view-specialized expert networks refine the volume sequentially β€” one per anatomical plane (sagittal, axial, coronal) β€” each correcting the residual artifacts left by the previous stage.

## Model Weights

```
Lexer1/VSSR/
β”œβ”€β”€ vssr_stage1_sagittal.pth      ← RDUNet SAC cascade, Stage 1
β”œβ”€β”€ vssr_stage2_axial.pth         ← RDUNet SAC cascade, Stage 2
β”œβ”€β”€ vssr_stage3_coronal.pth       ← RDUNet SAC cascade, Stage 3 (final output)
β”œβ”€β”€ baselines/
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ sunet_sagittal_8x.pth     ← Single-view SUNet baseline
β”‚   β”œβ”€β”€ sunet_axial_8x.pth
β”‚   └── sunet_coronal_8x.pth
β”œβ”€β”€ cascades_8x/
β”‚   └── SAC_final.pth             ← Best cascade 8Γ— (PSNR 31.28 dB on IXI)
└── cascades_4x/
    └── SAC_final.pth             ← Best cascade 4Γ—
```

### Download

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="Lexer1/VSSR", filename="cascades_8x/SAC_final.pth")
```

Or download all weights at once:

```bash
hf download Lexer1/VSSR --local-dir ./models
```

## Training Data

- **IXI dataset** β€” publicly available at [brain-development.org/ixi-dataset](https://brain-development.org/ixi-dataset/), 8Γ— retrospective undersampling
- **Sheba Medical Center** β€” prospectively accelerated in-house dataset (not publicly available)
