Abstract
A computer-implemented method of reducing artifacts in multi-channel magnetic resonance (MR) images is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of sets of MR images acquired by a radio-frequency (RF) coil assembly having a plurality of channels. Each set of MR images includes a plurality of slices of MR images acquired by one of the plurality of channels. The method also includes estimating a plurality of sets of artifacts in the plurality of sets of MR images by inputting the plurality of sets of MR images into a neural network model. Each set of artifacts corresponds to the one of the plurality of channels. The method further includes reducing artifacts in the plurality of sets of MR images based on estimated artifacts, deriving MR images of reduced artifacts by combining the MR images of reduced artifacts, and outputting the MR images of reduced artifacts.
