The FastMRI project is a 2 year-old collaboration between NYU Langone Health and Facebook.

This new paper shows that the time a patient must spend in an MRI machine can be divided by 4 with no degradation in image quality. 1/N

FastMRI breakthrough shows AI-accelerated MRIs interchangeable with traditional MRIs

Facebook AI and NYU Langone Health have published a clinical study demonstrating for the first time that AI-accelerated MRIs are fully interchangeable with traditional scans.

4x-subsampled K-space data is collected and fed to an architecture dubbed End-To-End Variational Network, which iteratively applies a U-Net-style Convolutional Net to progressively refine the reconstructed image.

MRI exams that used to take 1 hour can now be done in 15 minutes: faster diagnosis, less aggravation, less cost.

Data and models are open source.
