Synopsis

In this study, deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) are used to synthesize contrast-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images from quantitative parameter maps of the knee joint obtained with magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF). Training of the neural networks was performed using data from 142 patients, for which both standard MR images and quantitative MRF maps of the knee were available. The study demonstrates that synthesizing contrast-weighted images from MRF-parameter maps is possible utilizing DCNNs. Furthermore, the study indicates a need to tune up the dictionary used in MRF so that the parameters expected from the target anatomy are well-covered.
