Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for generating de-noised MR images that are reconstructed from a hybridization of two separate image reconstruction pipelines, at least one of which includes the use of a neural network. Further, the amount of influence that the neural network reconstruction has on the hybrid reconstructed image is controlled via a regularization parameter that is selected based on an estimated noise level associated with the initial image acquisition, which can be calculated from pre-scan data.
