NUFFT module for PyTorch.

NUFFT module for PyTorch

Introduction

There is no NUFFT function in PyTorch, neither is Toeplitz l2-loss module, which is important for non-Cartesian MRI reconstruction works. To fill this gap, this package provides:

1. A high performance NUFFT torch.nn module wrapping cufinufft [3] and finufft [1,2] - they are the fastest NUFFT backend I have ever seen.
2. Another elegant l2-loss module for non-Cartesian reconstruction with DCF preconditioning boosted by Toeplitz operator. Basically, this is done by replacing the two-pass NUFFTs with a Cartesian fast Fourier convolution. This method is also fast but slightly slower than cufinufft in practice. Use as you need.

Both CPU and GPU are supported. Benchmark indicates a 2ms (NUFFT module) or a 3ms (Toeplitz l2-loss module) time cost per iteration in a 256×256 inverse NUFFT problem using a RTX3090 GPU.

Install

For offline installing:

$ bash install.bash

To install with pip:

$ pip install torchfinufft-ryan

Optionally, to enable CUDA computation, cufinufft has to be installed.

Usage

Please refer to the exmaple folder - there are minimal example(s) for tutorial.
