1. A method for generating domain independent magnetic resonance images in a magnetic resonance imaging system, the method comprising:
- scanning a patient by the magnetic resonance imaging system to acquire magnetic resonance data;
inputting the magnetic resonance data to a machine learnt generator network trained to extract features from input magnetic resonance data and reconstruct domain independent images using the extracted features;
generating, by the machine learnt generator network, a domain independent magnetic resonance image from the input magnetic resonance data; and
displaying the domain independent magnetic resonance image,wherein the machine learnt generator network comprises an encoder configured to generate a compact representation of the input magnetic resonance data and a decoder configured to reconstruct the domain independent image from the compact representation,wherein the machine learnt generator network is trained using a loss function that is calculated as a combination of a first value, computed from a first loss function provided by the decoder and a second value, computed from a second loss function provided by a first adversarial learnt network trained to classify concatenated features from the compact representation as either from a first domain or a second domain.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating a protocol independent image. A deep learning generative framework learns to recognize the boundaries and classification of tissues in an MRI image. The deep learning generative framework includes an encoder, a decoder, and a discriminator network. The encoder is trained using the discriminator network to generate a latent space that is invariant to protocol and the decoder is trained to generate the best output possible for brain and/or tissue extraction.
