Accelerated T2-Weighted TSE Imaging of the Prostate Using Deep Learning Image Reconstruction: A Prospective Comparison with Standard T2-Weighted TSE …
2021
Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate has become the standard of care in prostate cancer evaluation. Recently, deep learning image reconstruction (DLR) methods have been introduced with promising results regarding scan acceleration. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of deep learning image reconstruction (DLR) in a shortened acquisition process of T2-weighted TSE imaging, regarding the image quality and diagnostic confidence, as well as PI-RADS and T2 scoring, as compared to standard T2 TSE imaging. Sixty patients undergoing 3T mpMRI for the evaluation of prostate cancer were prospectively enrolled in this institutional review board-approved study between O…
Deep learning-accelerated T2-weighted imaging of the prostate: Reduction of acquisition time and improvement of image quality.
2021
Abstract Purpose To introduce a novel deep learning (DL) T2-weighted TSE imaging (T2DL) sequence in prostate MRI and investigate its impact on examination time, image quality, diagnostic confidence, and PI-RADS classification compared to standard T2-weighted TSE imaging (T2S). Method Thirty patients who underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate due to suspicion of prostatic cancer were included in this retrospective study. Standard sequences were acquired consisting of T1- and T2-weighted imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging as well as the novel T2DL. Axial acquisition time of T2S was 4:37 min compared to 1:38 min of T2DL. Two radiologists independently evaluated all imaging d…
1.5 vs 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging
2021
ABSTRACT: The second part of this review deals with experiences in neuroradiological and pediatric examinations using modern magnetic resonance imaging systems with 1.5 T and 3 T, with special attention paid to experiences in pediatric cardiac imaging. In addition, whole-body examinations, which are widely used for diagnostic purposes in systemic diseases, are compared with respect to the image quality obtained in different body parts at both field strengths. A systematic overview of the technical differences at 1.5 T and 3 T has been presented in part 1 of this review, as well as several organ-based magnetic resonance imaging applications including musculoskeletal imaging, abdominal imagin…
