The reconstruction problem is usually formulated as a denoising task that removes the noise in under-sampled MRI image slices. Although previous GAN-based methods have achieved good performance in image denoising, they are difficult to train and require careful tuning of hyperparameters. In this paper, we propose a novel MRI denoising framework DiffCMR by leveraging conditional denoising diffusion probabilistic models. Specifically, DiffCMR perceives conditioning signals from the under-sampled MRI image slice and generates its corresponding fully-sampled MRI image slice. During inference, we adopt a multi-round ensembling strategy to stabilize the performance. We validate DiffCMR with cine reconstruction and T1/T2 mapping tasks on MICCAI 2023 Cardiac MRI Reconstruction Challenge (CMRxRecon) dataset. Results show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, exceeding previous methods by a significant margin.
