Synopsis

Since prostate MRI is increasingly applied and yet limited by long acquisition times, we prospectively investigated the performance of a novel reconstruction algorithm, combining compressed sensing, parallel imaging and deep learning (C-SENSE AI) in patients with histologically proven prostate cancer. Highly accelerated T2w and DWI sequences were compared to clinical standard of reference T2w and DWI. C-SENSE AI enabled 58% acceleration in T2w imaging and 47% acceleration in DWI of the prostate while obtaining significantly better image quality and tumor detection. C-SENSE AI seems particularly interesting in view of the need for accelerated prostate MRI with preserved high image quality.
