Metallic implants induce large field perturbations, which generate various types of artifacts according to the spatial encoding mechanisms in MRI. Especially, a frequency encoding dimension is influenced by bulk displacements with off-resonance frequencies and the pixel sizes are distorted in the frequency encoding dimension. In the abstract, a new learning-based method is proposed to map two metal-induced-artifacts images with positive and negative-polarity readout gradients into a metal-induced-artifacts-free image. Simulated data was utilized for training the network instead of real MR data that requires many resources to be collected.
