Abstract

A data processing device according to an embodiment generates output data by inputting, to a learned model, as input data, first input data of a complex value and second input data that is data related to a complex phase, the learned model having been trained using, as input data, first input data for learning of a complex value obtained based on collected data collected by a medical image diagnostic device and second input data for learning that is data related to a complex phase of the collected data, and using, as output data, output data for learning.

Claims (24)

1 . A data processing device, comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

2 . The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the medical image diagnostic device is a magnetic resonance imaging device, and

the second input data for learning is data obtained by multiplying a shift in resonance frequency at each location by a relative time of an echo center of a collection pulse sequence performed by the magnetic resonance imaging device, with respect to a zero phase.

3 . The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the medical image diagnostic device is a magnetic resonance imaging device, and

the second input data for learning is data representing a shift in resonance frequency at each location.

4 . The data processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
