Deep learning technologies and applications demonstrate one of the most important upcoming developments in radiology. The impact and influence of these technologies on image acquisition and reporting might change daily clinical practice. The aim of this review was to present current deep learning technologies, with a focus on magnetic resonance image reconstruction. The first part of this manuscript concentrates on the basic technical principles that are necessary for deep learning image reconstruction. The second part highlights the translation of these techniques into clinical practice. The third part outlines the different aspects of image reconstruction techniques, and presents a review of the current literature regarding image reconstruction and image post-processing in MRI. The promising results of the most recent studies indicate that deep learning will be a major player in radiology in the upcoming years. Apart from decision and diagnosis support, the major advantages of deep learning magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction techniques are related to acquisition time reduction and the improvement of image quality. The implementation of these techniques may be the solution for the alleviation of limited scanner availability via workflow acceleration. It can be assumed that this disruptive technology will change daily routines and workflows permanently.
