Abstract: Blurring and noise artifacts in magnetic resonance (MR) images caused by off-resonant image components may be corrected with convolutional neural networks, particularly feed forward networks with skip connections.

A convolutional neural network is used to de-blur the images. The network has a plurality of residual blocks with multiple convolution calculations paired with respective skip connections. The method outputs, from the convolutional neural network, a de-blurred real image frame and a de-blurred imaginary image frame of the MR data for each complex blurred image.
