ArtifactID utilizes deep learning to identify wrap-around and Gibbs ringing artifacts in 0.36T MR images. The models achieved accuracies of 88% and 89.5%, respectively. Wrap-around filter visualization confirms learning of the identified artifact.

(a) Confusion matrix obtained from the validation and test sets; in the case of simulated data, forward modeling parameters were tweaked based on the validation set results to improve performance. (b) Visualization of representative filters for a true-positive (TP), true-negative (TN), false-positive (FP) and a false-negative (FN) input for explainability.
