contents Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial in diagnosing various abdominal conditions and anomalies. Traditional MRI scans often yield anisotropic data due to technical constraints, resulting in varying resolutions across spatial dimensions, which limits diagnostic accuracy and volumetric analysis. Super-resolution (SR) techniques aim to address these limitations by reconstructing isotropic high-resolution images from anisotropic data. However, current SR methods often depend on indirect mappings and scarce 3D isotropic data for training, primarily focusing on two-dimensional enhancements rather than achieving genuine three-dimensional isotropy. We introduce ``SIMPLE,'' a Simultaneous Multi-Plane Self-Supervised Learning approach for isotropic MRI restoration from anisotropic data. Our method leverages existing anisotropic clinical data acquired in different planes, bypassing the need for simulated downsampling processes. By considering the inherent three-dimensional nature of MRI data, SIMPLE ensures realistic isotropic data generation rather than solely improving through-plane slices. This approach's flexibility allows it to be extended to multiple contrast types and acquisition methods commonly used in clinical settings. Our experiments on two distinct datasets (brain and abdomen) show that SIMPLE outperforms state-of-the-art methods both quantitatively using the Kernel Inception Distance (KID), semi-quantitatively through radiologist evaluations, and qualitatively through Fourier domain analysis. The generated isotropic volume facilitates more accurate volumetric analysis and 3D reconstructions, promising significant improvements in clinical diagnostic capabilities.
