520 |a Recently, Magnetic Particle Imaging, an emerging functional imaging modality, has exhibited outstanding spatial-temporal resolution and sensitivity. The general reconstruction pipeline of Magnetic Particle Imaging involves calibrating a System Matrix and then solving an ill-posed inverse problem combined with the measured particle signals. However, the introduction of noise during the System Matrix calibration procedure is inevitable, which degrades the detailed information in the reconstructed images. Therefore, frequency selection methods based on signal-to-noise ratio are commonly adopted. However, these methods lead to a decrease in the available high-frequency components, which damages the spatial resolution. To address this problem, we propose an unsupervised memory-guided denoising framework with unpaired noisy-clean System Matrix components, called U-N2C. Specifically, we design a Pattern Memory Block to memorize System Matrix patterns, directed by a position-aware frequency index embedding. Meanwhile, we devise a Noise Memory Block to implicitly approximate noise distributions. With the guidance of our dual memory blocks, we can disentangle the noise and content of the System Matrix in the latent space. Furthermore, benefiting from the ability to model complex noise, our method can generate pseudo but high-quality noisy-clean pairs and further enhance our denoising capability. Experiments on both synthetic and real noise demonstrate that our U-N2C achieves cutting-edge performance compared to other methods. Moreover, we conduct extensive qualitative and quantitative ablation studies to verify the effectiveness of our method. Our code has been available at U-N2C
