Synopsis

A physics-informed deep neural network using a U-Net in combination with a multifrequency interpolation is presented to correct for B0-field image distortions in low-field MRI. Training data is based on 1.5T and 3.0T knee images and realistic measurement-based assumption of SNR and B0-field inhomogeneities from previously constructed Halbach magnets. Significant (p<0.05) improvements are demonstrated applying the suggested methodology to uncorrected images.
