Outputs Motion-free images/patches Artefact-free images/patches Artefact-free images/patches Labels for the task of interest Noise-free image/patch Noise-free images and fMRI, fully sampled DWI data High-resolution images
Training data source Motion artefacts are simulated by adding phase error in k-space Gibbs ringing artefacts are simulated with cropped kspace, created bias fields for simulating B0 inhomogeneity Artefact-free images are generated by post-processing steps Multi-site data acquisitions Simulation by adding noises to the clean image to generate noisy training samples Noise-free data is generated by applying post-processing steps Simulation by undersampling k-space to create low-resolution training samples
