Abstract. Six years ago, machine learning techniques have been first introduced to solve the inverse problem of MR image reconstruction from undersampled data from accelerated acquisitions (1,2,3). Since then, the field has grown substantially, and a wide range of machine learning methods have been developed and applied to a wide range of imaging applications. In this talk, I will start with the background of a machine learning reconstruction that is based on iterative reconstruction methods used in compressed sensing and maps the reconstruction problem onto a neural network. I will discuss advantages and ongoing challenges, covering design of the network architecture and the training procedure, error metrics, computation time, generalizability and validation of the results. This includes a discussion of the lessons learnt from the recent fastMRI image reconstruction challenges (4,5).
