Deep learning offers powerful tools for enhancing image quality and acquisition speed of MR images. Standard frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch provide simple access to deep learning methods. However, they lack MRI specific operations and make reproducible research and code reuse more difficult due to fast changing APIs and complicated dependencies. By integrating deep learning into the MRI reconstruction toolbox BART, we have created a reliable framework combining state-of-the-art MRI reconstruction methods with neural networks. For demonstration, we reimplemented the Variational Network and MoDL. Both implementations achieve similar performance as implementations using TensorFlow.

How to access this content:

For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.

After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.

After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
