Abstract
Fetal MR imaging is subject to artifacts, where the most common type is caused by motion. These artifacts can appear as blurring and/or ghosting in the affected sequences. Currently if the motion artifact is severe or covers essential fetal tissue, the sequence acquisition must be repeated for diagnostic decision-making. We propose a novel deep learning network to reduce and remove motion artifacts in fetal MRIs. It follows a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework where the Generator consists of an Autoencoder structure containing Residual blocks with Squeeze and Excitation (SE), and the Discriminator uses a sequential Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) design. The loss function is composed of weighted subcomponents involving WGAN, L1, and perceptual losses. The proposed network was trained on a synthetically created motion artifact dataset, and further validated on real motion-degraded images. The creation of the synthetic dataset consisted of randomly modifying the k-space of each scan. On the synthetic dataset, the proposed network achieved an average SSIM and PSNR of 93.7 % and 33.5 dB respectively. For the real motion affected dataset, the proposed network attained an average BRISQUE score of 21.1. These results outperformed current state-of-the-art techniques including BM3D, RED-Net, NLM filtering, and WGAN-VGG. The presented network facilitates rapid and accurate post-processing for fetal MRI. It can also improve diagnostic accuracy and can save time and money by reducing the number of rescans caused by severe motion artifacts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
