Synopsis

The advent of MRI-guided radiotherapy has elevated demand for high geometric fidelity imaging. However, gradient nonlinearity can cause image distortion, which limits the accuracy of radiotherapy. In this work, we develop a deep neural network, namely DFReconNet, to reconstruct distortion free images directly from raw k-space in real time. Experiments on simulated brain datasets and phantom images acquired from an MRI-Linac demonstrated the utility of the proposed method.
