A simple flat Convolutional Neural Network architecture investigated in the context of reducing J-difference edited MRS acquisition times by factors of 4, 8, and 16 shows great potential reduce acquisition times for edited-MRS.
Figure 1. Architecture of the CNN model used in the experiments. The model processes the ON and OFF transients separately and subtracts the results to obtain the final J-difference edited spectrum.
