Abstract
A method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans a field of view and acquires sub-sampled multi-channel k-space data U. An imaging model A is estimated. Sub-sampled multi-channel k-space data U is divided into sub-sampled k-space patches, each of which is processed using a deep convolutional neural network (ConvNet) to produce corresponding fully-sampled k-space patches, which are assembled to form fully-sampled k-space data V, which is transformed to image space using the imaging model adjoint Ato produce an image domain MRI image. The processing of each k-space patch upreferably includes applying the k-space patch uas input to the ConvNet to infer an image space bandpass-filtered image y, where the ConvNet comprises repeated de-noising blocks and data-consistency blocks; and estimating the fully-sampled k-space patch vfrom the image space bandpass-filtered image yusing the imaging model A and a mask matrix.
