Generalising Deep Learning MRI Reconstruction across Different Domains

Abstract

We look into robustness of deep learning based MRI reconstruction when tested on unseen contrasts and organs. We then propose to generalise the network by training with large publicly-available natural image datasets with synthesised phase information to achieve high cross-domain reconstruction performance which is competitive with domain-specific training. To explain its generalisation mechanism, we have also analysed patch sets for different training datasets.Comment: Accepted for ISBI2019 as a 1-page abstrac
