We investigate untrained convolutional neural networks for accelerating both 2D and 3D MRI scans of the knee. Machine learning has demonstrated great potential to accelerate scans while maintaining high quality reconstructions. However, these methods are often trained over a large number of fully-sampled scans, which are difficult to acquire. Here we demonstrate MRI acceleration with untrained networks, achieving similar performance to a trained baseline. Further, we use undersampled k-space measurements as regularization priors to increase the robustness of untrained methods.
