Abstract
Deep learning-based systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for MRI reconstruction and/or refinement. An MRI image may be reconstructed based on under-sampled MRI information and a generative model may be trained to refine the reconstructed image, for example, by increasing the sharpness of the MRI image without introducing artifacts into the image. The generative model may be implemented using various types of artificial neural networks including a generative adversarial network. The model may be trained based on an adversarial loss and a pixel-wise image loss, and once trained, the model may be used to improve the quality of a wide range of 2D or 3D MRI images including those of a knee, brain, or heart.
