The\nreconstruction of the MRI requires solving a non-linear optimization problem.\nFor medical image reconstruction, machine learning can play a key role. The\nproject aims to exploit recent advances in machine learning, in particular in\nthe area of representation learning to learn representations and priors\ndirectly from raw data that are optimal for recovery of images (or even for the\nreconstruction of clinically useful information). The key tasks for the project\nare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Acquisition of raw cardiac MR data<\/li><li>Reconstruction of cardiac MRI from\nunder-sampled k-space data.<\/li><li>Development of deep learning based reconstruction\nalgorithms leveraging temporal dependencies in cardiac MRI<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Funding &amp; Details <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PhD position<\/strong> is fully funded (4500TL\/month) by The Scientific and Technological\nResearch Council of Turkey (T\u00dcB\u0130TAK).
