Recently, magnitude-based artificial neural network (ANN) method was implemented to estimate myelin water fraction (MWF) mapping using multi-echo gradient-echo (mGRE) data. However, MWF mapping in mGRE data requires phase information with the demand of considering frequency shifts in white matter. Here, we developed a complex-valued ANN for MWF mapping which could learn the phase information of the mGRE signal. According to simulation and in vivo analysis, complex-valued ANN is more robust to fiber orientation and noise than magnitude-based ANN and conventional fitting method.
