This study trains a deep convolutional neural network to learn the SWI contrast from T2*-weighted magnitude images using a LSGAN deep learning model and assesses the performance of the resulting network on CMB detection. Our predicted SWI images were able to improve CMB contrast over T2* magnitude images and minimize residual artifacts from standard SWI processing.
