arXiv:2603.29922v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Purpose: To investigate whether synthetically generated fractal data can be used to train deep learning (DL) models for dynamic MRI reconstruction, thereby avoiding the privacy, licensing, and availability limitations associated with cardiac MR training datasets. Methods: A training dataset was generated using quaternion Julia fractals to produce 2D+time images. Multi-coil MRI acquisition was simulated to generate paired fully sampled and radially undersampled k-space data. A 3D UNet deep artefact suppression model was trained using these fractal data (F-DL) and compared with an identical model trained on cardiac MRI data (CMR-DL). Both models were evaluated on prospectively acquired radial real-time cardiac MRI from 10 patients. Reconstructions were compared against compressed sensing(CS) and low-rank deep image prior (LR-DIP). All reconstrctuions were ranked for image quality, while ventricular volumes and ejection fraction were compared with reference breath-hold cine MRI. Results: There was no significant difference in qualitative ranking between F-DL and CMR-DL (p=0.9), while both outperformed CS and LR-DIP (p
