Many MR image reconstruction algorithms can be formulated as optimization problems and solved with gradient-based optimization methods of choice. In this work, we present and analyze the performance of the TensorFlow framework for modeling and solving MR image reconstruction problems. We test our approach on undersampled cine cardiac and 4D flow datasets. It is demonstrated that MR image reconstruction is easy to implement in TensorFlow, TensorFlow performs comparably to sophisticated optimization algorithms with theoretical convergence guarantees, and that TensorFlow is as fast as or faster compared to standard MR reconstruction toolboxes.
