Deep learning-based image processing is capable of creating highly appealing results. However, it is still widely considered as a "blackbox" transformation. In medical imaging, this lack of comprehensibility of the results is a sensitive issue.

Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) is an imaging technique acquiring unique time signals for different tissues. Although the acquisition is highly accelerated, the reconstruction time remains a problem, as the state-of-the-art template matching compares every signal with a set of possible signals. To overcome this limitation, deep learning based approaches, e.

The prior is suitable for denoising images from various medical imaging modalities. We demonstrate its effectiveness on volumetric optical coherence tomography (OCT) and computed tomography (CT) data, which show different noise and image characteristics.
