    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of removing truncation artifacts in magnetic resonance (MR) images is provided. The method includes receiving a crude image that is based on partial k-space data from a partial k-space that is asymmetrically truncated in at least one k-space dimension. The method also includes analyzing the crude image using a neural network model trained with a pair of pristine images and corrupted images. The corrupted images are based on partial k-space data from partial k-spaces truncated in one or more partial sampling patterns. The pristine images are based on full k-space data corresponding to the partial k-space data of the corrupted images, and target output images of the neural network model are the pristine images. The method further includes deriving an improved image of the crude image based on the analysis, wherein the derived improved image includes reduced truncation artifacts and increased high spatial frequency data.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of correcting phase and reducing noise in magnetic resonance (MR) phase images is provided. The method includes executing a neural network model for analyzing MR images, wherein the neural network model is trained with a pair of pristine images and corrupted images, wherein the corrupted images include corrupted phase information, the pristine images are the corrupted images with the corrupted phase information reduced, and target output images of the neural network model are the pristine images. The method further includes receiving MR images including corrupted phase information, and analyzing the received MR images using the neural network model. The method also includes deriving pristine phase images of the received MR images based on the analysis, wherein the derived pristine phase images include reduced corrupted phase information, compared to the received MR images, and outputting MR images based on the derived pristine phase images.

    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.
