Respiration-induced B₀ fluctuation can generate artifacts by inducing phase errors. In this study, a new deep-learning method, DeepResp, is proposed to correct for the artifacts in multi-slice GRE images without any modification in sequence or hardware. DeepResp is designed to extract the phase errors from a corrupted image using deep neural networks. This information was applied to k-space data, generating an artifact-corrected image. When tested, DeepResp successfully reduced the artifacts of in-vivo images, showing improvements in normalized-root-mean-square error (deep breathing: from 13.9 ± 4.6% to 5.8 ± 1.4%; natural breathing: from 5.2 ± 3.3% to 4.0 ± 2.5%).
