Abstract
A system for generating a water-fat separated image is provided. The system includes a memory device that stores training results of a neural network, and an MRI controller in electronic communication with the memory device and a magnet assembly. The controller is operative to: acquire MR data from an object via the magnet assembly; generate at least two magnitude images from the acquired MR data; and generate the water-fat separated image by applying the training results to the at least two magnitude images.
