Deep Learning with Enforced Data Consistency

news outletIEEE Xplore
Publish DateJuly 10, 2024

In this manuscript we explore a computationally efficient approximation to hard data consistency. We present results when adding this data consistency layer into two existing networks designed for MRI reconstruction. After retraining with the additional consistency layer, the networks show improved out-of-distribution performance and suppression of hallucinations.
