We have demonstrated six-fold accelerated submillimeter whole brain 3D T2-weighted imaging with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) showed better coefficient of variation and signal ratio compared with that without DLR. Scan time of around 2.5 min is clinically feasible and the delineation of fine structure is preserved after DLR processing.

3D T2-weighted image with better image quality derived from DLR will help clinicians and radiologists evaluate CSF space abnormalities, and its short scan time will be feasible for routine clinical examinations.
