Abstract: Respiratory motion in medical imaging is a critical factor affecting image quality, particularly in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), where motion-induced blurring and artifacts severely limit diagnostic accuracy. This paper proposes a method for future frame prediction in 2D movie MR images based on a respiratory motion model using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction, combined with Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). The method first uses PCA to reduce the dimensionality of the respiratory motion trajectory, extracting key motion features, reducing model complexity, and improving prediction accuracy. Then, leveraging RNN’s powerful sequence modeling capabilities, it predicts future frame motion displacements based on the extracted features and ultimately generates the predicted images. Experimental results indicate that this method effectively predicts future frames of 2D movie MR images, achieving good performance in both objective metrics and subjective visual quality, providing new insights for real-time image reconstruction and motion compensation.

1. Introduction
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology is widely used in clinical diagnosis and medical research due to its excellent soft tissue contrast and multi-parameter imaging capabilities. However, the subject’s respiratory motion poses a significant challenge during MRI imaging. Respiratory motion can cause image blurring, artifacts, and even imaging failure, severely impacting image quality and diagnostic accuracy. To overcome the influence of respiratory motion, many motion compensation techniques have emerged in recent years, such as gated imaging, navigated imaging, and image registration. However, these methods often require additional hardware or complex algorithms and incur high computational costs.
In recent years, deep learning technologies have made significant progress in image processing and medical image analysis. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), with their ability to handle sequential data, have shown great potential in time series prediction. This paper proposes a future frame prediction method that combines PCA for dimensionality reduction with a respiratory motion model and RNN to predict respiratory motion in 2D movie MR images and generate future frame images. This method effectively reduces the impact of respiratory motion and improves image quality without requiring additional hardware.
2. Method
The method mainly consists of three steps: respiratory motion trajectory extraction, PCA-based dimensionality reduction, and RNN future frame prediction.
2.1 Respiratory Motion Trajectory Extraction:
First, the respiratory motion trajectory needs to be extracted from the 2D movie MR image sequence. This study uses an image registration-based method to extract the motion trajectory. The specific steps are as follows: select a reference frame and register it with subsequent frames, calculating the displacement vector of each frame relative to the reference frame. This displacement vector represents the respiratory motion trajectory, containing motion information of the image over time. The registration algorithm can choose an image registration algorithm based on mutual information to ensure registration accuracy.
2.2 PCA-based Dimensionality Reduction:
The extracted respiratory motion trajectory is typically a high-dimensional data sequence with a large amount of redundant information. To reduce model complexity and improve prediction accuracy, this paper employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction of the respiratory motion trajectory. PCA can project high-dimensional data into a lower-dimensional space while retaining the main variance information of the data. By calculating the covariance matrix of the respiratory motion trajectory and performing eigenvalue decomposition, the principal components and their corresponding eigenvalues can be obtained. Based on the size of the eigenvalues, the top k principal components are selected to represent the majority of the original data’s information. These principal components form a new low-dimensional feature space, projecting the original high-dimensional respiratory motion trajectory into this low-dimensional space to obtain the reduced respiratory motion trajectory. Choosing an appropriate k value is a critical step that needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation, such as by observing the cumulative variance contribution rate.
2.3 RNN Future Frame Prediction:
The reduced respiratory motion trajectory is used as input to the RNN model. This paper employs Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, a special type of RNN that can effectively handle long sequential data and avoid the vanishing gradient problem. The input to the LSTM network is the reduced respiratory motion trajectory, and the output is the predicted displacement vector for future frames. The network structure can be adjusted based on actual conditions, such as the number of layers and the number of neurons. During training, known respiratory motion trajectories and corresponding image frames are used as training data, employing Mean Squared Error (MSE) as the loss function to optimize the network parameters. After training, the trained LSTM network can predict the displacement vector for future frames and transform the current frame based on the predicted displacement vector to generate the predicted future frame image.
3. Experimental Results and Analysis
This study uses a publicly available 2D movie MR image dataset for experimental validation. To evaluate prediction performance, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) are used as objective evaluation metrics. The experimental results show that the PCA-based respiratory motion model and RNN future frame prediction method achieve significant improvements in both PSNR and SSIM metrics. Compared to directly using RNN for prediction, this method demonstrates higher prediction accuracy and better visual quality. Additionally, we compared this method with other motion compensation techniques, revealing that it also has certain advantages in computational efficiency.
4. Conclusion and Outlook
This paper proposes a future frame prediction method for 2D movie MR images based on a PCA-reduced respiratory motion model and RNN. This method effectively utilizes PCA dimensionality reduction technology to lower model complexity and achieves high-precision future frame prediction through the powerful sequence modeling capability of RNN. Experimental results validate the effectiveness and superiority of this method. Future research can further explore more advanced deep learning models, such as Transformer networks, and integrate more refined respiratory motion models to enhance prediction accuracy and robustness. Moreover, extending this method to predict 3D movie MR images is also an important research direction.
