This talk will provide an introduction to the use of machine learning and neural networks in the field of MR image reconstruction. We will use the example of reconstruction from undersampled data from accelerated acquisitions throughout the talk and will base our formulation on iterative reconstruction methods as used in compressed sensing (CS). We will formulate a network architecture based reconstruction that can be seen as a generalization of CS, and explain how we can learn an entire image reconstruction procedure. Using selected examples, we will discuss both advantages and challenges, covering topics like reconstruction time, design of the training procedure, error metrics and training efficiency and validation of image quality.
