1. An apparatus for performing image processing, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
apply, to inputs of a first trained neural network trained to process real-number-based images, first image data generated from real-number-based measurements obtained by imaging a subject;
apply, to inputs of a second trained neural network trained to process complex-number-based images, second image data generated from complex-number-based measurements obtained by imaging the subject;
apply, to inputs of a third trained neural network trained to process complex-number-based images, third image data generated from complex-number-based measurements obtained by imaging the subject; and
combine a first output of the first trained neural network, a second output of the second trained neural network, and a third output of the third trained neural network to produce a combined image, based on the first image data, the second image data, and the third image data.
