Deep learning enables 5-fold undersampling of low field (0.1 T) 3D MR
images while maintaining anatomical structure and
preserving contrast in both retrospective and
prospective, acquired data.
Figure 2: Prospective undersampling. Two examples of a) fully sampled
images, b) corresponding prospectively undersampled images, c) U-net reconstructed
images, and d) squared error of reconstructed images using U-net versus fully
sampled image.

images, b) corresponding retrospectively undersampled images, c) U-net reconstructed
images, and d) squared error of reconstructed images using U-net versus fully
