[0021] To describe the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is described in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , a nuclear magnetic resonance image reconstruction method, including the steps of:

[0025] Optimize the deep neural network according to the difference between the first reconstructed image and the second reconstructed image to obtain a target deep neural network;

[0026] Reconstruct the nuclear magnetic resonance image to be processed according to the target deep neural network.

[0027] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The nuclear magnetic resonance image sample includes a K-space image sample and a first reconstructed image. Since the originally acquired nuclear magnetic resonance image is a K-space image in the frequency domain, by obtaining a nuclear magnetic resonance image sample with better reconstruction effect as the training image, the sensitivity mapping kernel set is used as an unknown in the training process for training optimization, and the preset deep neural network is optimized according to the difference between the predicted second reconstructed image and the determined first reconstructed image, so that the finally obtained target deep neural network can ensure the stability of the image reconstruction effect under the change of different parameters, and does not depend on the determined sensitivity mapping kernel set, realizing high-robustness nuclear magnetic resonance image reconstruction.
