### Quantitative Evaluation  
Performance was assessed using five complementary image quality metrics: Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE), and Visual Information Fidelity (VIF). Table 2 summarizes the averaged results over the test set, with values reported as mean \(\pm\) standard deviation. The proposed method consistently outperformed all baselines, achieving a statistically significant improvement (\(p<0.01\), paired \(t\)-test) across all metrics. Particularly notable is \begin{table}

Table 5: Quantitative comparison of multimodal super-resolution frameworks. Figure 9: Convergence of Hankel matrix ranks during GAN training under joint sparsity constraint. the increase in PSNR by approximately 2 dB over the strongest competitor and an SSIM exceeding 0.92, indicating exceptional structural preservation. The reduction in RMSE and NMSE confirms the method's superior reconstruction accuracy, while VIF gains highlight enhanced perceptual quality. The comparative methods include Sparse MRI [8], TV Regularization [66], DeepJoint [64], DeepCascade MRI [32], DAGAN [58], EZE-VarNet [59], TransMR [60], MTrans [65], Diffusion MR-PET [61], Hybrid GAN-CS [62], VoxResNet [63], DeblurGAN [49], and TransMR-PET [57]. The proposed SRR algorithm leverages compressed sensing [8], Wasserstein GAN [18; 19], joint sparsity priors [27; 31], and deformable motion correction [26]. Statistical analyses with 100 independent simulation runs confirm the robustness and reproducibility of the results. The \(p\)-values indicate statistically significant improvements compared to all baseline methods. Moreover, the framework achieves substantial acceleration--up to 50% compressed sampling with optimal trade-off between PSNR, SSIM, and VIF--as shown in Table 3. Integrated deformable motion correction [26], validated in Table 11, further enhances spatial alignment and reduces target registration error (TRE), supporting clinical viability. The results demonstrate that the proposed SRR framework outperforms existing techniques, providing superior quantitative and perceptual performance for hybrid MR-PET imaging. The extensive experimental evaluations, summarized in Tables 2-4 and 6, provide compelling evidence that the proposed super-resolution reconstruction (SRR) framework for hybrid MR-PET imaging achieves unparalleled performance improvements across multiple clinically relevant metrics. Central to these findings is the demonstration that compressed sensing (CS) sampling ratios exert a profound impact on the achievable Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), with an intermediate compression level--specifically 50%--optimally balancing scan duration reduction and image quality preservation, as rigorously quantified in Table 3. This optimal trade-off substantiates theoretical expectations from CS theory, whereby undersampling schemes, when coupled with powerful reconstruction algorithms, enable acceleration of MR/PET acquisition protocols without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy. The robustness and reproducibility of these results are underpinned by a comprehensive suite of statistical analyses, involving one hundred independent simulation runs to average the PSNR metrics iteratively. The significance of observed improvements is confirmed via stringent paired \(t\)-tests, ensuring that reported gains reflect substantive algorithmic enhancements rather than stochastic variance. Such methodological rigor is vital in the medical imaging domain, where reliability and repeatability of image quality directly influence clinical decision-making.
