Abstract: Recent developments in deep learning, as well as widespread access to powerful computing resources and large datasets, have the potential to change the way medical imaging is performed. Building on the frameworks of inverse problems, variational optimization, and compressed sensing, I will discuss the potential to make MR imaging faster, easier to use, and more patient-friendly and accessible. I will cover both methodological developments as well as clinical translation and validation and discuss ongoing developments as well as currently open research questions.
