deep learning
reconstruction allowed increased spatial resolution with maintained image
quality and SNR. Higher resolution images with high image quality and SNR
were obtained in significantly shorter time in various anatomical regions using
Deep Learning Reconstruction.
Figure 1: Routine clinical
brain protocol using conventional reconstruction method and resolution (top
row) and DLR method with higher resolution (bottom row). The contrast changed between the DLR and CR
was minimal, indicating that the DLR is a reliable technique to achieve higher
image quality in shorter scan while maintaining the clinical image contrast.
