we proposed a Bloch
equation-based autoencoder regularization generative adversarial network
(BlochGAN) for MR image synthesis. BlochGAN uses multi-contrast MR images to
generate other contrast images without additional scanning.

the Bloch equation-based autoencoder regularization generative adversarial
network (BlochGAN).
