To minimize respiratory motion-induced image blurring and artifacts, conventional cardiothoracic and abdominal MRI techniques rely mostly on breath-holding. These approaches result in limited time window for data acquisition, especially in many ill patients who are unable to breath-hold for an extended period of time. In this study, we employed deep learning as a promising tool for detection and correction of complex respiratory motion during free-breathing MRI scanning. On average, our proposed network increased the sharpness of the images 20 percent.
