This article examines the method of image reconstruction, which aims to restore the exposed areas on MRI images. The algorithm is based on a geometric model for patch synthesis. The lost pixels are recovered by copying pixel values from the source using a similarity criterion. We used a trained neural network to choose the “best similar” patch. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms widely used state-of-the-art methods.
