Abstract
Training a neural network to correct motion-induced artifacts in magnetic resonance images includes acquiring motion-free magnetic resonance image (MRI) data of a target object and applying a spatial transformation matrix to the motion-free MRI data. Multiple frames of MRI data are produced having respective motion states. A Non-uniform Fast Fourier Transform (NUFFT) can be applied to generate respective k-space data sets corresponding to each of the multiple frames of MRI; the respective k-space data sets can be combined to produce a motion-corrupted k-space data set and an adjoint NUFFT can be applied to the motion-corrupted k-space data set. Updated frames of motion-corrupted MRI data can be formed. Using the updated frames of motion corrupted MRI data, a neural network can be trained that generates output frames of motion free MRI data; and the neural network can be saved.
