Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging still has a high acquisition time due to inherent sequential procedure required to fill k-space. Deep-cascade networks have been used to reconstruct MR images from an under-sampled k-space in order to reduce acquisition time. In this work we investigate a deep-cascade to reconstruct MR images of the brain. We trained the network with 14 different acceleration factors (R). Relevant brain structures were preserved until R = 7x. For R ≥ 8x, MR images presented noticeable blurring artifact. The quality of the segmentation of the brain structures were similar to the reference MR image until R=9.
