Abstract
In a method for determining a fat-reduced MR image, a first MR image is provided having, apart from the other tissue constituents, MR signals from only one of the two fat constituents, the first MR image is applied to a trained ANN, which was trained by first MR training data as the input data, the training data including, apart from the other tissue constituents, MR signals from only the one of the two fat constituents, and using second MR training data as a base knowledge, the second MR training data including, apart from the other tissue constituents, no MR signals from the two fat constituents; and an MR output image is determined from the trained ANN, to which the first MR image was applied, as a fat-reduced MR image, wherein the fat-reduced MR image includes, apart from the other tissue constituents, no MR signals from the two fat constituents.
