Varying acquisition and reconstruction conditions as well as long examination times make MRI susceptible to various kinds of artifacts. If suitable correction techniques are not available/applicable, if human experts who judge the achieved quality are not present or for epidemiological cohort studies in which a manual quality analysis of the large database is impracticable, an automated detection and identification of these artifacts is of interest. Convolutional neural networks with residual and inception layers localize and identify occurring artifacts. Artifacts (motion and field inhomogeneity) can be precisely identified with an accuracy of 92% in a whole-body setting with varying contrasts.
