Synopsis

We proposed a U-net-based neural network to predict changes in B0 field due to patient movement. The network was trained and tested on 7T in vivo volunteer data. The method was compared against two other approaches. The estimated B0 maps were compared against the ground truth. The results suggest that prediction of B0 maps is feasible and by combination with external tracking a considerable improvement in data quality of B0-sensitive MRI methods could be achieved.
